Those funky outdoor dining domes are back

They are the hottest trend in outdoor, winter dining.

They are the igloo-shaped, heated, lighted, plexiglass domes set up for a second consecutive year on the patios of Frind Winery in West Kelowna and Oak and Cru restaurant at the Delta Grand hotel in Kelowna.

Not only can you nosh and sip in these stylish structures, but they are oh-so Instagramable, private-dining sanctuaries.

</who>For the second year in a row, Frind Winery in West Kelowna has set up 14 of these clear, plexiglass, igloo-shaped globes outside for dinners in the dome.

The 14 domes at Frind are set up on the lakeside patio of the winery.

Each is heated and lit and set with an elegant table for 6.

Reservations are a must at FrindWinery.com.

</who>The globes are finished inside with heaters, lights, dining table for six and plants.

Each dome has a minimum of four people per reservation and maximum of six.

The cost is $110 per person, which includes a four-course meal with wines paired to the first three courses.

The domes are open Wednesday through Sunday with three seatings at 5:45 pm. 6:15 pm and 6:45 pm.

Frind touts dinner in such a setting as a 'winter wonderland dome experience.'

</who>Oak and Cru restaurant at the Delta Gand hotel in Kelowna has four of the heated domes for dinners. Pictured here is chef David Foot with some of the food that can be ordered.
