About Us
Challen Wilkison - Culinary Director
I love food! I started cooking 8 years ago, and my passion for the craft grows every day. I attended Vancouver Community College, as well as Okanagan College to gain as much knowledge about my field as possible. A few years ago, my good friend Mark and I decided that we wanted to start a catering business, with our own style and flair. Jump ahead to today, I have two new partners, a very big beard, and business is booming! I'm excited to utilize all the amazing resources this land and it's community has to offer.
Mark D'Aoust - Beverage Director
8 years ago, I stepped behind the bar for the first time; and I've never looked back. Every time I pick up a shaker, I'm in my element. Shortly after discovering this passion, I started to devour every bit of knowledge I could find about the vast world of cocktails and libations. After earning my official Bartending Certification, I compiled notebook after notebook of original creations, and twists on timeless classics. With every new winery, brewery, and distillery opening in the Okanagan, my room for creativity grows. I'm not a huge fan of the term 'mixologist', but hey; call me what you want, I'll make you a damn fine drink.
