Attention everyone who wants an amped up wine tasting, dining or high tea experience in a chi-chi clear, igloo-shaped dome.
Frind Winery in West Kelowna has set up 10 of these stylish structures for the winter on its terrace and beach.
Each is heated, lit and furnished with an elegantly-set table for six.
The vibe is definitely winter wonderland patio.
Essentially, it's the perfect place for you and your bubble to sip, nosh and pose in a bubble.
"They are super-cool," says Frind general manager Ruth Hanbury.
"They are not only beautiful and fun, but they are a great way to have a tasting, dinner or tea in your own space with your bubble of six people."
Wine tastings in a dome are $10 per person, plus the cost of glasses of wine and any food you may order.
High tea is $45 per person and includes tea, of course, and nibblies.
You can add sparkling wine or wine to the tea for extra.
Dinners are a posh five-course, wine-paired affair, which cost $110 per person.
Reservations are required.

Frind Winery has garnered a lot of attention since it first opened in the spring.
It's owned by Markus Frind, the guy who started the online dating platform Plenty of Fish and sold it for US$575 million in 2015 to Match.com.
It's also the only winery on the beach in North America.
There's additional cachet because the tasting room, shop and restaurant are located in the waterfront mansion previously owned by the late former BC Premier Bill Bennett.
Yes, that's the same politician the William R. Bennett Bridge connection Kelowna and West Kelowna is named after.
You can also book a seated wine tasting experience in the room that was the premier's study.
