About Village Green Liquor Store
Somebody in every group gets sent for the drinks, usually on short notice and usually with a vague brief. Village Green Liquor Store handles that errand from 4900 24 St, in the part of the downtown shopping area where the larger retail sits and the lots are big enough to make the stop a quick one.
Selection is where one shop separates itself from the next. In the Okanagan the obvious strength is wine from the valley itself, with producers running from the benches around Vernon south through Kelowna and on toward the desert end. Beer covers the national brands and the rotating craft side. Spirits run from the standard mixers up to the odd bottle you only find because somebody decided to put it on a shelf, and ready to drink cans have taken over much of the summer trade. If you are buying for a crowd, ask about case pricing and whether anything can be set aside for pickup, which saves making the trip twice.
A few practical notes for the North Okanagan. Bring identification even if nobody has asked you for it in years, because shops here are strict and for good reason. Buy before you head out to the water rather than after, since the drive back in from Okanagan Landing or from the Kalamalka shoreline is not one you want to repeat. Holidays shift hours right across the province, so a quick call ahead of a long weekend is worth the thirty seconds it costs. And in a valley this good at wine, ask what came in recently instead of buying the same bottle out of habit.
