Guide Bio
A long-time experienced guide, Dino has a passion for sharing beautiful British Columbia with visitors and locals alike. As a successful entrepreneur, Dino has guided backcountry skiers, snowboarders, and cyclists while living in the West Kootenays and operating True North Adventures to leading groups on world-class wild salmon fishing expeditions on the Nass River in NW B.C. while operating Nisga’a Tours & Adventure. Returning to the Okanagan – where he was born and raised – Dino has turned his creativity and passion into the award-winning premier wine touring company in the Okanagan Valley called Grape Escapes Wine Tours.
As a certified Okanagan Wine Ambassador (UBC-Okanagan) and holder of the WSET Award in Wines & Spirits, Level 3 (Advanced), and a professional educator (B.Ed., M.A.) you are in the best hands for your Okanagan wine tour experience.
