Located in the Okanagan Valley, Mission Hill Family Estate Winery produces award-winning wines from five estate vineyards. The winery has a 12-story bell tower and European architecture, making it one of the most prominent wineries in the area. The estate also offers tours and wine tastings, as well as being home to an amphitheater and restaurant.
Our afternoon at Mission Hill was most enjoyable. Our host Phoebe took us for a tour of the stunning property and down into the wine cellar before bringing us to our seated tasting. Lovely wines paired with delicious bites in a cozy elegant room with a blazing fire. Superb beginning to our Valentines weekend. Thank you Phoebe!! ❤️🍷❤️

A beautiful location with impressive views. Entering the premises you’ll notice the grounds are very well tended, large items of artwork are dotted around leading to the main area with some impressive architecture. As well as an on-site shop to purchase wines and gifts you can learn about Mission Hill by taking a wine tour with optional dining after. Pre-booking is essential. It’s worth noting that this location is more of a ‘show’ winery and not a working one, not that it made a difference to our visit.
The dining experience with wine pairings is a marvellous way to finish your visit. The food is all locally sourced and each course is meticulously crafted. Definitely a great place for a wine enthusiasts or to celebrate a special occasion.

Worth the visit even if you’re not tasting. The property has a wonderful view and even better in the spring/summer. It’s massive and well kept, the tasting and sales department also have their signature products as well as some items that are exclusively available there. There’s also seemingly a display of the family’s personal collection of designer products
Well decorated, friendly staff, and will definitely come back to visit another season

This property is breathtaking let me just start by saying that. You can do many wine tours in Kelowna, but I recommend you don’t when it comes to Mission Hill, you must put a nice day aside and come in for a good lunch, taste their wine and walk the grounds.
It truly is something you need to chew on and not do in a hurry. Beautiful views, grounds and the wine to die for. Did I mention they have an amazing menu and the food is amazing.
Hope you don’t miss this hidden gem and you visit it’s amazing place while you are in beautiful British Columbia.

Stunning architecture and setting. All the staff were so friendly, and even though we didn't have a tour booked or wine tasting experience, they welcomed us in and we had a great time looking and wondering around.
there's a place to dine in, with beautiful views of the landscape!
will definately revisit next time and hope I can go on their wine tour!

Mission Hill in Kelowna, BC is an extraordinary place that should not be missed!
From its stunning architecture to the captivating interior design, every aspect of this winery is a testament to its excellence.
Each wine has a fascinating story behind it, adding to the overall experience.
The staff at Mission Hill is truly amazing, providing exceptional service and ensuring a memorable visit.
The attention to detail and organization are evident throughout.
During our private tour with Natallie, she showcased her brilliance and made my birthday experience truly unique.
The tastefully decorated tasting room added an extra touch of charm.
This visit to Mission Hill Winery will forever remain the most memorable event of my trip to Kelowna.

I am no expert on fine dining, but the experience at Terrace restaurant in Mission Hill gave me a completely new feeling about this. From the beautiful ground to the knowledgeable staff, the cutlery they use and the display of food to the food and wine pairing, you can see a lot of details and thoughts been put into the experience.
I thought a perfect paired food and wine fine dining experience is not just about the food and wine. It's about the ambiance, the service, and the attention to detail. It's about the experience of being taken on a journey that engages all of the senses. It's about creating memories that will last a lifetime. And I feel that’s why this experience in Mission Hill is called “Lasting Legacy”.
Experience it yourself if you are visiting Okanagan this summer, recommended.

Forever one of my favourite wineries in the Okanagan! Have visited three times from Ontario and will continue to come back. Pricey for food/wine tastings but definitely worth the experience. Love everything from the winery itself to the wine, atmosphere and location. Appreciate the option to ship bottles across provinces. Cant wait to come back!

Mission Hill Winery is a must see just for the views and scenery, if you are a wine drinker then you will have a favorite place to visit every trip. As a wine club member I look forward to every shipment.

Looks straight out of Game of Thrones castle book. We went on a Sunday and they had a private event going on so they didn't have any tours or wine tasting but we toured around the property by ourselves and it was pretty cool. Would recommend it for the view itself. Beautiful place.

One of the most exquisite experiences. We had the dinner with wine pairing. We were served by Bradon and he was amazing . We were in exclusive dining rooms, which were very cozy. Wines were amazing and the food was out of this world. Amazing ambience .
Even though the its pricy , its value for money . Perfect for a couple.
Mission Hill estates looks beautiful on top of the hill. Has a breathtaking view.

If I have to be honest here. The place is really pricey and if you are looking to do a tasting it might not be the place to do so. The tasting is really pricey. The place itself is really commercial and it seems like making great wines are not the priority but instead the emphasis was put on giving you a more sophisticate experience to taste simple wine. I will be brutally honest the wines are not the greatest for the price. I could definitely taste that the wine itself was a bit more refined but in my opinion the price was not worth it for what it was. view is nice if you want to take any pictures.

Beautiful winery. Breathtaking views. Hands down the best gift shop with loads of vintage finds. Wine tasting mediocre unless you’re a member which comes with better wine selection and environment.
Sahar — Google review
One of the most famous wineries in all of Kelowna. I enjoyed the visit in the cellars, the history of the family, the business and the views.
Highlight for me was the actual time in the tasting room - we did the experience that included a food pairing with each wine
Of course this was a bit more expensive but it was nice to splurge on one of the most famous wineries in the area
I loved loved being greeted with a glass of wine too! Gets you in the mood / head space right away.
Our tour guide, Adrian, was very nice. She was knowledgeable and patient as we moved through the estate
The only thing I would have wished for was there to be actual grapes or vines on the tour. I feel like everyone wants that iconic photo in between some vines and unfortunately the ones that they have near the front of the property, I assume for photos, were all bare. I understand this was probably beyond their control - but worth noting if you plan to visit.

One of my fav wineries in Okanagan. I got the privilege to do the wine tasting there. Loved every bit
Quails' Gate Winery is a winery located in Kelowna, British Columbia that offers wine tours, tastings and accommodations on the property. The winery was founded by Gary Quails, who also owns and operates the Old Vines Restaurant on site. The winery has received awards for its wines, and is popular among tourists for its scenic location and award-winning wines.
One of the highlights of the trip! I would highly recommend the lunch special 3 course with matching wine pairings. Was outstanding as was the service of Kelly. The Okanagan was amazing for, but this ranks as one of the top locations we visited!

Food was perfect! Everything was extraordinarily delicious and well executed. Plating was good, wine was good too. Nothing to complain. Would be perfect if they make the sour dough bread complementary. But it’s fine.
Easily the best restaurant in a winery in the region.

She was down to earth and made the experience that much better. The wine was great as I expected it would be. The location was perfect, and view from the balcony was breathtaking. We all enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back. Thanks Kim for a great time.

I am writing to commend our server, Amy, at the Old Vines Restaurant. We had dinner there for our anniversary and in all honesty, she provided THE best service I have ever had and I am not young! Her attention to the smallest details and knowledge of both the wines and menu were remarkable. She’s a keeper! Thank you Amy for making this so special.

Recently my company rented a private room for our Christmas gathering. The food was absolutely delicious, the wine pairings were lovely and the portions were very generous. The service was second to none.
My partner and I arrived early so we decided to partake in a wine tasting prior to dinner. Lark looked after us, and treated us like royalty. She was very professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She made the experience unforgettable, and was the best tasting experience I have ever had, and I have been to every winery in the valley.
My only suggestion would be for you to invest in a large round or oval table, as it is better for socializing. Some of our team members we don’t get to see very often, and some of them live out of town, so it would have been better to see and talk to them throughout dinner in this type of setting.

Had the pleasure to visit Quail Gate Winery and had to say that is one of my favourite spots when in Kelowna.
Please make reservations, give yourself extra time to enjoy the grounds, make sure you do some wine tasting and take good wine home.
If you get a chance please checkout their restaurant. The food and desserts are out of this world. You won’t be disappointed and will leave with a smile.

This winery I was very excited to see, as many of my friends recommended it. Maybe I wasn’t lucky and what I experienced is not the norm.
The service and staff were so awful that I cannot even remember the quality of their wine. They treated us as if we were asking to try their wine for free.
I belong to the hospitality industry and perhaps look at the operations with a different mindset. Our server seemed a bit lost, not being very detailed on what she was giving us to taste, but what I disliked the most, was that she was wearing a dirty uniform.
The other ladies in the front, were not welcoming at all. Since there were covid restrictions we are asked to stay in our tables and not move. I went to take a picture on the Quails Gate sign and I was yelled at. ( I attached the picture 😂) the camera capture the moment were I turned.
Terrible experience, the only nice thing was: the view 😍 and we still took beautiful pictures together. We made the best out of it.
I do not recommend them. But you may have a better experience than me.

We had the most amazing time at this vineyard! We had friends visiting from England and Quail’s Gate was on the list as I had been there before and the quality of wine, views and vineyard I knew would impress. What I wasn’t expecting was the phenomenal hospitality of Kim who amplified our experience beyond what I could have planned. Her professionalism paired with playfulness truly made it an exceptional visit.

Our family comes here once to twice a year for wine tasting. Today, Gabby served us and provided a very pleasant experience! She was very professional and knowledgeable, explaining each wine we tried, answering each of our questions, offering recommendations based on our individual preferences, and giving suggestions on what best to pair the wines with. We purchased some of the wines we tried and are excited to have them as recommended by Gabby! The atmosphere here is always friendly and beautiful. Thank you for such a great experience!

On Feb 18 2024, my long time friend reunited with me at Quails Gate to have wine and lunch to grieve for my mom who had just passed. We did a wine tasting with Lark and she must have sensed our vibe. She served us well and when we were in discussion, she sensed when to not talk to us about wines. Some wineries have staff that prioritize their presentation. Lark sensed when to interject and struck the perfect balance. She was lovely. Thank you to Lark!

Dinner here with my wife and friend. Been years since my last visit. Our server, Brett was the ultimate professional. Friendly and prompt, also accommodating. We ordered 2 appetizers, a half bottle of gewurtz, 3 main dishes for each of us and the suggested wine pairing for my risotto. Dinner was a wonderful experience. Great ambiance though there were a few loud, slightly inebriated dinner guests nearby whose voices carried throughout the entire place. Nevertheless, enjoyed the meal and definitely a must for when you’re in the Kelowna area.

We were recommended Quails gate for a wine tasting tour, hence we did it. The overall experience was below average and there was no energy in the tour. Our guide was not very friendly unfortunately, she did not address us with the other groups, also forgot to pour us the wine when we were standing right there, we felt neglected.
I’m guessing it depends on who your tour guide is and your experience can vary.
I wish I would have just walked in like others and did the normal tasting, the tour was a flop.

We checked the reviews on Google map before we chose the winery. I called and tried to make a reservation but failed since no one answered it. Two clerks were chatting behind the counter when we arrived the hall but they didn’t care about us. We waited for a while and I had to ask for help. We chose the wine tasting, but too bad they didn’t offer any snacks to go with the wine.
It’s a lovely place with spacious and well-decorated indoor space. The grape wine field is really gorgeous. We appreciated it a lot.
There were many guests that afternoon and we had a very nice girl helping us with the wine tasting. Unfortunately, the white/ red wine we tried wasn’t satisfying. Some of the red wine was bitter, how disappointing.

Took some friends visiting from the Prairies for a wine tasting at Quail's Gate yesterday. It has been a few years since I had been there and had forgotten how the beautiful views are from the winery and how lovely the wines are. The staff who greeted us at the door were attentive and got us set up right away for our tasting on the balcony. PAULA, who facilitated our tasting, was welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the wines. She even provided us all with large glasses of ice water before starting the tasting, which was really appreciated on such a hot day.
I (and my guests) loved the wine and the whole experience. We will definitely be back. Thanks Paula and Quail's Gate!

The price for wine samples was the highest that we paid in the valley. We paid for the first level which was $15 and I like bold red wine so bought the third level at $35. One of the reds from the first level was also in the third. I found that to be misleading. But the wines we ok at best.
From doing sampling at Frind and Cedar Creek Quails Gate was a level below in flavour. My complaint is the price they charge for the tasting.
Both other places were $10 a person and if you purchased , the tasting fee was free. That is not the case with Quails gate. We purchased wine at all 3 wineries. But will never go back to Quails Gate. You have out priced your wine tasting. Do a survey of your competitors, you may be surprised.
I will definitely share my story and already have.

This review is a tad bit overdue, but necessary.
My family and I came to our reservation in July 2023, which we booked months in advance; We had friends from out of town join us (party of 2).
When we arrived at the restaurant the initial hosts had no issue with us trying to sit together, it was the assistant manager that made a material issue out of the matter.
I sat there discussing potential seating options with the assistant manager, who after much negotiation gave us a larger table inside (FYI, we never asked for a patio table, they allocated that to our original four top).
I completely understand during the summer months how busy the restaurant can be and how limited seating can be, however the day and time we were there, there were open tables for the duration of our 3 hour stay and our $700 bill.
The assistant manager that we dealt with was one of the most antagonist people I have met in any of the wineries that we have been to.

Lark took us on a fantastic adventure exploring different wines and their nuances. She was able impart knowledge and help us fully explore our own preferences. Lark made this a fun and exciting experience! The lake views are beautiful.
We did not explore the rooms as we were only there for wine tasting and dining.
The Indigenous World Winery offers a delicious selection of native dishes, drinks, and wines. The restaurant has stunning views of the Okanagan Valley and is located on Westbank First Nations land.
It is a great location, and very gracious staff. My favorite was their blackberry liquor. We were there Summer 2023, just a week before the fires.

This 178-hectare park located 11 kilometers north of Kelowna features scenic forest and canyon trails, a campground that satisfies the requirements of most RV and tent campers, as well as access to more than five kilometers of sandy beach on Okanagan Lake.
A wonderful place to walk in all seasons. The trail is very well maintained. You can see the waterfalls from the top in summer, spring and fall. However in winter you can walk on the creek between the canyon and go to the base of the waterfall. I should add that it is not very safe to do so. Because you are walking on a thin ice on a creek so be very careful and use hiking poles to ensure the next step is safe when you are hiking to the waterfall. I usually see lots of kids and dogs on this trail so it is family friendly. There is also washrooms in the parking lot plus a map. Overall I really recommend to try this hike in winter. It was magical

There is an amazing interpreted hike around the falls while you follow a trail looking down into the canyon. There is also a camp ground that sits on the shore Okanagan Lake for any camping enthusiast out there! can't complain about easy access to the lake in this amazing spot.

This was our favorite park out of the three we visited this summer. We had a lovely lakefront spot, it was so spacious! I absolutely loved the pretty city/ mansion lights at night, it was gorgeous! The lake was a great swimming temperature and we had a blast on paddle boards.
My only complaint was that the washrooms were very overused and small for the number of guests. There was only one shower at the washroom nearest to us and it was always pretty muddy. We had such a nice stay here and found some excellent activities in and near Kelowna. We look forward to returning!

Good. Bathrooms and showers and sites were clean and taken care of. They drove around in golf carts. Bad There is no trail as noted on the map. The bushes are all overgrown. Barely any beach.

Great view of the valley and okanagan lake. We’ll be back soon.

The best spot to camp at night and adventure in and around town near Kelowna. Great playgrounds and beaches tonnes of field space, good showers and washrooms and dish sinks with warm water. Near currently shut down trails(2024). During the summer, the gatehouse has a candy store. And there's a water toy rental near the beach. Campground does sell wood and the water is clean, treated drinking water.

This park is a perfect option for loves biking and/or walks. The creek is crystalline and refreshing to walk inside. The views of the lake and kelowna are amazing from the peak. There is a waterfall, imponent and nice, with a small natural pool in the base. Recommended sunblock and repellent. The views would be better if the world shouldn't have stupid persons that smoke and provoque fires. If you visit places like this, please be conscious about how your behavior affects the natural life.

This was our first weekend camping trip of the season, and with a new rig. It was turned out to be so enjoyable and the weather was stunning!
Amenities provided here. Bathrooms with a shower, though we did have our own so never used them. We purchased extra firewood ($12/bundle) and noted that there was a seasonal beach rental shack (offering SUP, kayaks, etc) opening June 21, 23 for use. Further along into the summer and the water will be lovely for swimming or your favorite water sport!
There are a mixture of sites available at Bear Creek; some back onto Bear Creek, Okanagan Lake, playgrounds or green space. We did find that it would've been nice to have a bit more privacy between us and the next site, though noted there were certainly some more private sites available. We also learned that there are a few sites will full hook ups.
Bear Creek Provincial Park is across the street with over 5km of well-marked hiking trails, waterfalls
All in all, a great first stay to kick off the season and we look forward to visiting again.

Bear Creek Provincial Park is a very nice Park near to Kelowna. There are a few different hiking routes where even children can go. There are also a few different view points where you can have a nice look into The Valley and the waterfall. On the point that is the most far away from the beginning there is a bridge where you can cross the river.

Very decent hike for the mediocre hiker. I enjoyed the mixed of stairs and the slopes. I would not recommend with little kids as there is very steep trails are there.

Off The Grid Organic Winery stands out from other wineries as it prioritizes sustainability. The winery's landscaping is taken care of by friendly goats, and the tasting room is entirely sustainable with solar panels and straw insulation. All wines are organic and visitors can enjoy breathtaking views while sitting at picnic tables. Off The Grid Organic Winery offers a unique experience to wine lovers with its eco-friendly approach and animal companionship on the premises.
I love Off the Grid! A small, authentic family owned winery with organic wine and so many cute animals! Every visit there is a truly wonderful experience. All of their wines I've tasted so far were fabulous and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. My favourite wine is the orange Gewürztraminer :) Be sure to check out the food truck, it's super nice to sit there, enjoy a bottle of wine and have a delicious meal.
Also: There is the best outdoor yoga on Sunday mornings at the winery!

The cutest little winery with earthy vibes. We grabbed lunch and tools the kids up there to eat at one of their picnic tables and enjoy the view (which included goats).

The prices are slightly higher due to the speciality of their growing methods, but they were extremely delicious.

We had our wedding ceremony at Off the Grid Organic Winery in August 2022. From the first email exchange to our wedding day, the Off the Grid staff went above and beyond to make our dream wedding come true!
Communication with Sheri was great; she always responded to our questions quickly and with detailed responses. We loved meeting her at the wine tasting and appreciated that we got to select the wines that our guests enjoyed on the wedding day!
Off the Grid's day of coordinator, Lisa, attended both our rehearsal and ceremony. She did an incredible job at making our day run smoothly and addressing all our questions.
Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting prior to the ceremony and the wine and cheese hour after the ceremony. Guests raved about the view, the generous pours of amazing wine, and the delicious selection of cheese and crackers.
Off the Grid will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we would like to thank the staff for making our day so special! We wanted a wedding venue that felt intimate, unique, and captured the Okanagan's beauty and OTG exceeded this for us.
I would highly recommend hosting your wedding ceremony at Off the Grid!

I was in Vernon for the weekend visiting cousins and they took me sightseeing and to check out some wineries.
I really enjoyed Off The Grid Organic Winery. A unique spot with some nice wines. I had the Halloween pairing which was quite interesting. I quite enjoyed the Rose and the Goat Rodeo, which one of my cousins purchased to enjoy at home with a nice charcuterie board.
Although not included in the tasting, the Unplugged White caught my attention so I purchased a bottle. I was not disappointed. A lovely wine that paired nicely with an assortment of cheese and fruit, in particular some pear and blue cheese.
Nigel and his mother-in-law were excellent hosts. Plus it was fun to meet the goats, and enjoy the beautiful view.

The gentleman behind the counter was so kind and helpful.
Sherry, who walked us through the wine tasting, was awesome. Friendly, down to earth and super knowledgeable. I believe they both own the place so it was great to be able to speak with the makers directly!
The wine was amazing. Loved the ethos of this winery, using permaculture and staying true to their values in their production process.
Also feeding the goats and the sheep is an awesome added bonus!

Unfortunately the food truck was closed when we were there, so will definitely be back to experience that as the menu looked amazing!

Pretty good! The staff weren’t the most welcoming we’ve ever had, nor were the descriptions of the wine very thorough. We felt a bit like we were putting them out or something. The wine’s good though, with the whites definitely on the sweeter side, and we bought a couple bottles. We were excited to try the pizza from the food truck, but at ~$25 (!!!) for one small pizza, we decided against it.
The petting zoo part of it is fun and made it a lot easier to bring our one-year-old along.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and their goats will make your heart melt with cuteness! This is a great place to hang out and enjoy a day while overlooking their beautiful scenery. Must visit!
Small family-owned and operated winery in West Kelowna. The wines are delicious and some are even sweet for those who enjoy that type of wine. The winery is popular with locals who prefer sweeter wines. There is a small tasting room where you can sample the wines.
Came back to Rollingdale Winery as it was one of our favourite wineries last time.
Tastings have increased to $8.70/person (for 5 pours) but are waived with purchase.
- 2020 Riesling
- 2021 Organic estate chardonnay - not as sweet as last year’s chardonnay. Still very bright with a tropical, citrus note. We bought a bottle ($31.22) for home.
- 2021 Organic estate pinot gris
- 2021 Organic estate pinot blanc
- 2020 Organic estate pinot blanc
- 2020 Rosé
- 2021 Organic estate blanc de merlot - they make this as a merlot but in a white wine style. Tasted like a juicy watermelon. We bought a bottle ($33.83) for home.
- 2017 Pinot noir
- 2019 9 Barrels syrah - only 9 barrels were made, hence the name
Definitely come for a visit!

The icewine and the "fort" are real good. The second is almost a bargain, while the icewine is very expensive for 200ml in a thin bottle. Crew is nice

When I’m about to enjoy a wine tasting from a winery that is 100% certified organic, I generally have slightly higher expectations. Rollingdale winery did not disappoint. They make some fantastic wines out of the grape varieties that they grow on their 13 acre property, namely Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Merlot.
(they source grapes from other properties when needed)
We started with their bubbles… Made from their estate Pinot Blanc it was tasty.
We then enjoyed the 2020 Riesling… classic petrol/diesel notes with this wine.
Riesling, Gwerztraminer and Pinot Gris were blended in the third wine we tried at Rollingdale. This wine was named flirty three and I suggested it might’ve been referred to as the “ménage à vine” and surprisingly, he mentioned that name was in the running as a candidate. Regardless, it was tasty enough that we bought some. We then enjoyed a rosé made from two different grapes, a Gwerztraminer and mostly a Marechal Foch. It was a really good rosé.
We then entered the Darkside and tried some red wine. 2017 Pinot Noir was first.
We ended up having fairly lengthy conversations with the gentleman that was pouring our wine. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the winery, the wines, and the wine industry in the Okanagan in general.
Frankly, I stopped taking notes and just enjoyed the wine. Overall, this is a must visit winery if you are interested in wine touring in this area.

This was our second stop on our wine tour yesterday and by far the best. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt so welcomed. My partner and I are relatively new to the wine industry and had lots of questions. Each one was answered with such care and detail. We even got lots of information on how the grapes are harvested and how the wines are produced. We absolutely loved that it was organic as well. The wines were delicious!! My partner and I have very different tastes when it comes to wine, and we both were able to find a few that we absolutely loved. The ice wine is a must try! I tend to favor more tart wines, but I found that the ice wine was so good I was tempted to buy it. I still may go back and get it before leaving. 10/10 absolutely recommend this place to everyone!!!

We visited Rollingdale Winery as part of a tour with Red Dog. The staff were so relaxed & adaptable, catering to our wide-ranging tastes within the group. My favourites were the Riesling-secco, ChardonNOT & the white ice wine. We bought plenty to take home but ended up drinking it all that evening and going back for more the next day!
I especially loved their experimental and unpretentious nature. You could tell they're just so passionate about producing the most exciting & highest quality wines, going with the flow and as they said "letting nature do it's thing".

We visited today from Winnipeg on a wine tour of 4 wineries. Easily hands down the most welcoming place we visited while on our trip to Kelowna. We tasted 5 wines and loved them all. Purchased two bottles and can't wait to try them! Amazing, well worth the visit to this excellent winery!

Absolutely loved this little place! Our wine connoisseur (I didn’t get his name) was so lovely and passionate about the wine, and was able to answer all our questions with such enthusiasm! We loved every single wine we tried and walked off with the most amount of bottles of wine we have bought from a winery. Very much recommended!

Visited Rollingdale winery last month and totally enjoyed the experience. This is a quaint small batch winery that has a rustic tasting bar right in the production facility. Don’t expect wood and glass with a killer view but the wines were to die for. They had a good variety of whites and red plus we got to try the rose right from the tank. It was delicious. Plus Neil was an excellent host. He took the time to provide detailed information on each wine that greatly enhanced the experience. This is a must stop if you’re in West Kelowna.

This was a stop on our way home. Driving into the long dusty driveway, we weren't expecting much as the outside didn't look at all like the bigger vineyards with the views of the lake. Going into the wine shop, they didn't have any fancy trappings that you'd expect. However, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our sommelier was funny and knowledgeable. After the wine tasting, we went home with 3 bottles. A definite must try.

Been to Rollingdale Winery 3 years in a row.
Tastings are $10.00/person for 5 pours but the fee is no longer waived with a bottle purchase. We shared a tasting. Our pourer (Chantal) was very friendly and informative.
- 2022 Akina rosé - marechal foch grapes. Rosé was supposed to be dry, didn’t taste so.
- 2021 Riesling - smooth, velvety texture on the mouth. Not too sweet. We bought a bottle ($28.61) for home.
- 2022 The flirty 3 - blend of three whites. Sweetest of the whites we tried.
- 2018 Merlot - light on tannins, touch smoky.
- 2020 Cabernet franc - bolder flavour, but more tannins.
Still one of my favourite organic wineries.

Rollingdale was super cute. They have a very personable and chill atmosphere. The lady who ran our tasting was laid back and matched our energy and she really made our experience. It was fun to learn the history and process behind Rollingdale and got other great recommendations. You gotta try the Flirty 3!
Hope W — Google review
Rollingdale Winery was the first stop of a four vineyard tour and by far our absolute favourite. Neil our guide/sommelier did a wonderful job explaining tasting notes and the different wines we were tasting (we were lucky enough to try a few extra wines too!)
While they are a much smaller vineyard in comparison to some of the giants that are nearby in West Kelowna, it doesn’t stop them from beautifully crafting a wide array of incredible wines. We just HAD to return to pick up a few of our favourites on our way home, the 2021 Estate Pinot Blanc and the unique yet lovely Akina Rosé.
Would absolutely recommend this winery to anyone who is looking for a fantastic winery tour, thank you to the staff for the amazing experience! We are definitely looking forward to enjoying the bottles we picked up and returning soon!🙏💕🍷

Wow! One of the best experiences we have had tasting wine here in Kelowna. It is a small quaint winery with no BS. We had an excellent tasting and tour from Brennan. He really made our time there great. He was very friendly and quick to answer our wine questions and improve our wine knowledge. This is not a flashy winery but absolutely worth the time to check it out!

SO amazing!!! Fantastic wines, laid-back space, fun and helpful staff, and exactly how a Winery should feel! It wasn't pretentious at all, as so many places around here can be. The views were stunning, you can go check out there estate grown grapes, and the wines are the perfect expression of the Okanagan Valley. We laughed and had a great time, and I will absolutely be back! My favorite Winery so far in the region!

Little Straw Vineyards Family Estate Winery & Restaurant
If you're looking for a small, boutique winery with award-winning wines, look no further than Little Straw Vineyards. Located on a hill overlooking the lake, this wine producer has been in operation since 2004. With a long list of delicious wines, it's surprising that you may have never heard of them before!
Amazing! Service at our wine tasking was beyond expectations. Prices and wine are great. Would definitely recommend this place.

Saw an ad online for a 3 course , wine paired dinner. I've never been here before or even heard of this great small family run winery. Food was AMAZING. We really enjoyed the home styled indian dinner. A great sampling of many dishes and loads to eat paired with some lovely wines. We will definitely become regulars of the wines and hopefully more tasty meals here.
Couldn't help but leave with a case of wine to share with friends.

Very friendly staff, amazing wine tasting. Definitely love the Tapestry white wine the most; on the sweeter side but not too much for my personal opinion. Amazing location and view. Easy to find if going slow on the windy roads. Amazing local artwork on the top floor and a grill restaurant as well.

As one of West Kelowna's oldest wineries, Little Straw Vineyards stands out with its smooth wines and excellent customer service. When we arrived, the host, Keith, told us about the family-owned vineyard, and led us on a tasting experience of their white and red wines, finishing with a decadent ice wine poured into a chocolate cup. OMG! What a way to end a tasting! We also discovered the winery had organic pressed juices to take home and an Indian fusion menu at their restaurant upstairs. We decided to purchase a bottle of their award-winning Tapestry white wine and a box of cherry juice, but we'll definitely be back to try the food and maybe even one of the creative workshops they offer. I recommend!

We came in for wine tasting and were helped by Stephanie. They have an amazing selection of wines, let them know your tastes and you'll be guided the right way. We were looking forward to ice wine here however it is so delicious that it is sold out! Support this smaller Winery which is a little off the beaten path and not on the list for West Kelowna if you are looking at travel guides. They are a true Hidden Gem.

Little Straw Vineyards is a hidden gem. They offer a truly unique range of wines, the quality and distinctiveness of their wines making this winery a must-visit for any wine enthusiast.
From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with a bright and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff at Little Straw Vineyards are not only knowledgeable about their wines but also incredibly welcoming and eager to share their passion for winemaking. I was grateful for the tasting session and the engaging education - thank you for making me feel at home Keith!
In a region that has faced challenges recently with the devastating fires, it's good to see that Little Straw Vineyards remains open and unaffected. It's commendable that they support the local firefighters by donating proceeds from their sales while informing guests of the issues facing the community. This act of generosity speaks volumes about their dedication to their community and their desire to give back.
In sum, a visit to Little Straw Vineyards is an experience filled with unique wines, warm hospitality, and a sense of community spirit that's hard to find elsewhere. I can't recommend this winery enough, and I'm eager to return for another memorable tasting adventure.

Great place! Came in March, not in season and had no booking, but was lucky to get a tour by owner on the spot! It was very interesting, Karnail knows what he is doing and is very dedicated. Also got a juice tasting instead of wine tasting (because i don’t drink wine).
And all of that for free! It was a perfect first day in Kelowna. Totally recommend.

The Shannon Lake Regional Park is a beautiful park with hiking trails and a lake. The facilities are clean and there is enough seating for people to relax. The lake itself isn't very clean, but the fishing is good.
Shannon lake has picnic tables, clean bathrooms, great dock to fish off of. Stocked pond great for kids fishing.

Overall nice place.
Facilities: They have bathrooms, but my only complaint is that sometimes they have little to no toilet paper.
Walk ways/paths: Very nice with clear areas to walk and very clean with railings as well.
Benches and seating: there is a couple benches that are clean as well.
Lake its self: Very nice lake to bring the family to NOT FOR SWIMMING its not clean water. The fishing its self is ok i have seen massive fish but it is pretty hard to catch a fish here and also nice ice fishing as well. Also some nice pond hockey in the winter.
OVER -ALL Nice lake for family and friends, be prepared for it to very crowded.

I'm a little bias because this is the lake I grew up around. First visited in 93' when I was in elementary and I'm so glad it hasn't changed much since. I've visited countless times and always get a sense of nostalgia when I walk through this park. Winter is great for skating, pond hockey and ice fishing. Other seasons are great for a short stroll, dog walk or canoeing. It really is an amazingly peaceful place to spend an afternoon.
Chris Chung (tamahome27) — Google review
Very nice park with a little pond/lake where you can go fishing! Apparently there are bass and perch and it is stocked with rainbows. I have not caught anything here but my insert is there are lots of catchable fish. Perhaps one needs a little boat to get off shore and increase the chances of catching?

Tastings are $15! They say it’s paired with food (roughly two crackers, a tiny chocolate, and a spicy cashew). It doesn’t get waived with a bottle, and we had a girl who was on her first day. She told us our tasting was comp’ed, but her boss was there and she charged us anyway? It was a very awkward experience. We had purchased a bottle of wine when she told us about our tasting was free, so we now wished we hadn’t. Very strange and awkward experience.

This was our 5th wine tasting experience over the weekend and BY FAR the best one. Rodger is not only knowledgeable on the wines but he truly made us feel like he was hosting us in his own home. He went above and beyond with his customer service, not just recommending pairings, but giving us full on recipes, all the while with an incredible attitude and spirit. You can tell he has a passion for the wines he is selling and for creating a genuine experience.

My girls and I recently had a wine tasting here and it was outstanding. Roger was our server that day and he was 12/10. His outgoing personality made us feel very welcomed. He was super knowledgeable about the wines and had some amazing food pairing recommendations. His sense of humour kept us laughing the whole time we were there. We stayed for almost 2 hours as we were enjoying our time so much. The wine is some of the best in West Kelowna, I even became a wine club member that day. We sat outside on the patio and Roger and his co worker climbed the stairs several times that day to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and if we had any questions that we were informed. I would highly recommend their wine and the experience. One thing I could suggest is a staff elevator. I felt bad that the staff had to walk up and down those stairs every time they came to check on us. Which was enough times that we were never left wondering where they were, but not too many times that we felt bothered. Exceptional service. Above and beyond. Thank you Roger for a great experience.

It was my first time doing a wine tasting and Sue instantly welcomed us with a warm smile and asked what we needed help with. While we did some wine tasting, she explained a short story of the winery and explained all the little bits and processes of the wine that we tried. There was a loving and homey feeling to this place and I would definitely recommend everyone to drop by and take a look. Their restaurant in the patio was also fantastic with a great view!

Karen was an amazing host for my wine tasting experience! She was knowledgeable and experienced, answering all my questions relating to pairing and the grapes. She explained the history of the winery and the current yields compared to previous years harvests.
I tried all the reds available on their tasting menu, and although they all tasted phenomenal, I fell in love with the pinor noir and the magma red in particular, excellent pairing with medium dark chocolate (60-70%). I also recommend the 2015 year wines since it was the best harvest 😊

We stopped in around 5:15 PM for a wine tasting, they stopped taking people around 5:30. The host was great. We got to try 5 wines that were all local to NZ. We really enjoyed the wine and ended up buying 2 bottles to take home with us. The atmosphere and scenery were great and you got great views of the city at night. There aren’t many wineries on the north island, so if you enjoy wine, I would def recommend coming here.
HINT: Try and go when the sun is setting, you get city views of the day time and night.
Tasting around $40 USD for 2 people

Excellent and elegant Winery hosting a variety of wines to tantalize the taste buds.

4 star for food. Ordered bruchetta, Salmon and bbq shrimp. Everything tasted well balanced and tasty. Prices are okay too and not ultra high.
3 star for view and service. View is okay but of you can get couple miles down to other wineyards such aa Quail's, you'll have much better view.
Gellatly Bay Park is a beautiful and well-maintained park that is perfect for a day of relaxation. The park has a range of things to see and do, including a beach, viewpoints of Okanagan Mountain, and plenty of activities for the whole family.
Another example found in kelowna making the best out of natural wonders. Very nice promenade by the lake. Wished I found a nice coffee shop or a sandwicherie as I think the location calls for a place to sit and enjoy a snack. Weather was perfect

I've only been to it so far in the fall and spring, but it is an enjoyable walk along the water. There is a dog beach separated from a family beach so that is excellent. The exposure is on the north side of the lake so if the sun is out you are walking in it. It can get a bit windy as it is exposed in parts, so dress for windchill when it is cold.

A perfect tranquil setting mere seconds from the city center though seemingly miles away. With gorgeous walking paths along the water, the old ferry docks to jump off of and cool down, the west kelowna yahatclub or the cove resort and restaurant all within a short desirable walk. The views will steal your breath as they stretch from downtown kelowna to past peachland. 10/10

What a difference from the old wine shack that used to be here. So fresh, new, spacious and exciting. Nice to see this wonderful new store.

Very friendly server who knew all about the history of the winery.

Came in on a weekend and was able to do a tasting without a reservation. I do not recommend this if you plan to visit during the summer months. You have to pay for your tasting before your tasting happens. We went for the OG tasting to try the reserve line, but tbh, both of us preferred the modest tasting as we found the wine was more representative of the area and grape with less barrel intervention that really took away from the wine. A beautiful and bright tasting hall where you can sit outside or stand by the bar. We opted for the bar and preferred as we were able to taste a few more tasters as the host saw that we did not enjoyed the OG pours and was making sure we found something we would enjoy. Props to seeing this from a service prospective. A must try in West Kelowna…

Over all, not bad. Didn't get asked if I wanted anything else to drink after my one coffee was finished, water container wasn't refilled for a table of 7 so only had 1 and a half waters. Baked Bree was below room temp which was fixed with a room temp one...yeah.
Didn't see the server very often either.
The positive though, crispy chicken burger and steak frites were quite good. Everyone else dishes also looked good and was a positive review from the rest of the group.
Steve Clark — Google review
This was a very lovely winery. The building reminds you of a modern art gallery. There's a nice restaurant where you can get steaks and pasta. They are of course winery prices, meaning, probably not the place you're going to eat if you're just looking for something cheap and easy. The wines were delicious and on the sweeter side when it came to the whites. The reds had a lot of minerality to them and were bold, had some spicy notes and were smooth. This is coming from someone who is NOT a wine expert. But did enjoy the selection they had. The whites were absolutely wonderful though. The price points for the wines were fair. My gewurstraminer was around $24 and the red we tried retailed close to $40. So there's definitely room to play in between those price ranges. They are small-medium batch producers in comparison to some wineries, so that's what makes it special. They are also situated with a fantastic view of the valley and it really is something to sit out on their patio, look at the mountains and have a wine tasting. Their staff is also incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They also have quite a large tasting area (which for some reason I didn't take pictures of...too busy drinking wine I guess).

Very nice! It’s all glass and concrete, and felt too fancy for us in our shorts and flip-flops, but the made us feel very welcome. The wines were great and the view of the lake is very nice, but the overall vibe isn’t quite as cute and romantic as some of the others. That’s not good or bad, just something to keep in mind!

What a gorgeous space for our wine tasting on lawn level patio and lunch upstairs! We chose two different tastings and our server Dominik was most knowledgable and friendly. Lovely views of the valley and vineyards. Enjoyed the variety of wines we tried.
Meanwhile upstairs we got a choice of view tables. Amy was our server there and was very friendly and accommodating, bringing us more bread to go with our delicious marinated cheese. The mussels were large (a few tasted a bit fishy), and the sauce with chorizo was delicious. The fries with the truffle mayo… to die for!
We tried two kinds of Soma cider… both dry and excellent.
Would definitely recommend!

I love that I can walk into the wine shop at any given time and am greeted with waves and smiles. I often put one (or two) of the pourers to the test on pairing with my planned meals at home and have not been disappointed.... even if it's just scratch made pizza (thanks Holly 😉)!!
I am a huge stickler for customer service and Mt. Boucherie Estate is at the top of my list. I have dabbled with blends from other vineyards, but they just don't... 🤔 "taste" the way the blend should. As they say.... "you get what you pay for" and Mt. Boucherie definitely rates at the top of my wine selections. I have my faves!!! "Les Cinq Sink" and "Blaufränkisch" are my two go-to's!!! Well worth the visit to discover your wine pairings!!

I recently attended my office awards night here and they were featuring some great wines with our canapés. I really enjoyed the rose and the atmosphere and views were breathtaking!

Arriving at this beautiful winery, is something like a fairytale. The scenic views are breathtaking. We highly recommend the tasting room as well as the restaurant Modest Butcher. The wines are very white wine forward, however, you will not be displeased as they have very high standards. We were so impressed that my wife decided to become a wine club member so that says something lol. Perfect for a date night or long weekend stay.

We had a wonderful afternoon here! They were very welcoming with our dog so we could sit on the patio and have a tasting with him. The view is gorgeous and the rosè here is unmatched. Our server was fantastic (I’ve forgotten her name, she was British!) and we had a great chat with her. The wines are very good.
We didn’t realise there was a restaurant on site but once we were told their was happy hour we made a reservation for after our tasting and enjoyed $5 Pinot Gris and $8 mini burgers! The food was delicious and so good after the tasting.

Today we visited Mt. Boucherie winery. This was the third Winery we had visited today and the seventh in total since my family came into town from out of province. Domenic started our visit with a very warm greeting. Sidney was our tasting associate.
Sidney was absolutely amazing... she was so patient with my elderly family. It was poetry perfection.
I have not seen such exceptional customer service in a very long time.
She was incredibly kind, considerate, and her knowledge was exceptional. She took the initiative to create a mini library tasting all in the efforts to try to find the perfect wines for them to LOVE.. which they did.
Although some of the offerings were not to the liking of my party, there were more wines appreciated at this winery than any other we have visited.
What a great experience today.. thank you so very much.
The locals in the area have a fondness for hiking, particularly at Glen Canyon Regional Park. This park is a favorite among hikers, offering beautiful trails that run alongside an energetic creek, providing stunning vistas. The park boasts lovely pathways next to the lively waterway, allowing visitors to enjoy breathtaking scenery. The diverse landscape of Glen Canyon Regional Park features lush forests and rocky terrains, creating an interesting and varied hiking experience.
Nice 2+km walk to the falls. 2 very nice bridges help connect the trails.
Lots of stairs so be aware there is some exertion and if it's wet outside there may be some slippery and muddy places.

The journey began with a picturesque path lined with towering trees and the gentle rustling of leaves underfoot.
What struck me most about this trail was its diversity. From lush forests to rocky terrains, every step offered a new and exciting challenge. The trail meandered alongside a babbling brook, providing a soothing soundtrack to the entire experience. Along the way, I encountered a variety of flora and fauna, each adding to the trail's charm.

Highly recommend! Great trail up the canyon, decent amount of stairs at first but not too bad. Tons of shade & great views.
Damon Mulligan — Google review
It's a good hike! Gets your heart rate up with the stairs at the beginning. Areas where you can walk right up to the creek and watch the salmon run in the fall. If you follow the entire trail, it brings you to the Westbank Waterpark (2.2km).
Stacey Adams — Google review
Easy walks alongside the creek. The stairs make it a bit challenging and fun. We saw birds, creek, canyon, forest, etc. At the end, there is a waterfall.
Dog is allowed. But not allowed to go to the creek during salmon spawning season.

Park is nice , beautiful creek and waterfalls!!
Notice to Dog Walkers!!
Some jerk reported my small and well behaved dog off leash, and the ranger came to give us a hassle!
G Joyal — Google review
We wanted to hike, not too far from home (Peachland), and that might offer some shade. With the creek still flowing (late May) we got the coolness we were seeking, lots of steps for a good workout, and a wonderful variety of flora. Good signage and trail markings. The canyon falls were a spectacular end spot. A bench at the this end of the trail would be a great addition.
Rose Sirois — Google review
The dog and I set out to discover a hike...faced with a lot of stairs we carried on and rose to the top of a canyon. We were enticed by more glimpses of the canyon and nature so we kept going, winding through meadows and forest and... hello....more stairs... but all worth it. The path winds up and down and there are plaques along the way to let you know about aspects of the area. The flora was all turned toward the sunshine grabbing a few morning rays. Beautiful!!
The Beaumont Family Estate Winery is a family owned and operated winery located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. They produce some of the best organic wines in Canada and they are always trying to bring new and exciting products to their customers. The tasting room is spacious and comfortable, with a good selection of wines on offer for tasting. The owners are always friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to visit.
Great visit. The wines we tasted were all so good. I especially loved the new treble wines, they were both so refreshing, I'm sure these will be very popular especially during the summer months. My favourites were the Trio, Afterglow, and Pinot Noir Rosé

This Winery is all about 100% organic grapes, since 1995, with a nice selection of finished wines. We enjoyed our stop here and this organic wine had reasonable prices. The Beaumont friends and family play live music on weekends and the bubbly giggles has some music symbols on both labels as well as the message, 100% certified organic grapes. Thanks for this .....

Small winery next to Mt.Boucherie. the owner was super friendly and their wines were great drink alone on a patio types of wine. I really enjoyed the tastings and ended up buying 2 bottles of wine 🍷

Was such an amazing experience. Louise was very welcoming and hilarious and every wine we tasted was amazing. There are a bunch of fun quotes on the wall one which read "Enter as Guests, Leave as Friends!" and boy did we ever leave as friends! Had a bunch of great laughs and they have live music there sometimes also! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!
P.S. we went to 5 wineries that day and this was by far the best time and best wine!
Love this place! The cider is absolutely delicious, the view of Westbank is pretty sweet overlooking the orchard and the lake. Fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. We carved pumpkins and made s'mores over the fire table while sipping cider. The food truck had some super yummy sweet potato fries. I always make sure to visit during a trip to Westbank.

Well, visiting Kelowna, my husband, and I wanted to try something other than another winery. When we found Truck 59 Ciderhouse, we were very excited to try it out. The ciders are amazing. They are not like your regular ciders. The food was also amazing. Bunny Hugs has a food truck there, and it was the most delicious food ever. I had the Mac & Cheese, and my husband had the South Korean sandwich. Next time we are in Kelowna, we will definitely be back.

What happens when you press together an ancient beverage, top quality fruit and an affinity for Firetrucks?!? You get the small lot farmed, hand crafted, and very memorable Truck '59 Ciderhouse!
Leaving pharmaceuticals for farming, the idea all started with Russ Johnson and his wife looking for their version of the okanagan dream. With wineries galore, breweries sprouting they thought what else could show off Beautiful BC- APPLES!
Featuring English, French and dessert apples with 8 varieties of cider apples from their estate orchard- this portfolio aims to please! Merging with award winning and highly successful Jason Parkes Customs family, Truck 59 has elevated from a local’s favourite to a regional gem with help of Cidermakers Brendan Smith and Ethan Denton. Literally a farm to glass approach with minimal intervention and top sourced fruit this is comfortably one of our favourite Ciderhouses in BC!
Sweeping views, table top fire pits, rustic orchard feel and top ciders!
Thank you so so much for the lovely, attentive and informative service Dionne! You made our day! 🏆🍎🍏🍺🍺

Great vibe - just a bit off the main strip but it’s like a different world. The food truck was also super solid - Bunny Hugs it was called. A great day, and I highly recommend this place after a mountain bike at Smith Creek!
Paul Girard — Google review
Although the place has a good vibe and the staff was friendly and helpful, I really didn’t like their cider. We had a flight of 4 different ciders. I don’t really remember the name of these but I only liked 1 flavour and my wife liked none. Maybe they were just experimenting new seasonal flavours and what not, but I just couldn’t keep drinking. I might give them another try next time I’m in town.
Excellent experience for the whole family. The staff is friendly and very helpful making your visit the best it can be. The fruit was sensational, peaches the size of grapefruits and absolutely delicious. Fun for the kids and the adults alike. The market itself is also excellent, lots of selection and top notch produce makes it a must visit when in West Kelowna.

Excellent fruit market, u-pick, and general goods store. We went at the end of July, and there was a wide variety of fruit from their own orchards as well as brought in from other local growers.
There is an on-site ice cream stand and coffee bar, which has a great selection of options. My partner was able to get dairy-free iced coffee without an issue. It would be nice if there was more non-dairy ice cream options though.
This was recommended to me by my brother and his family, I can definitely see why he did. Great place to go.

I moved into this neighborhood in winters and have waited since winters to check this market out. It lives up to the reputation. Great fresh produce, vegan food and welcoming staff.
Finally our new go-to place for grocery. Also has icecream and coffee on the rear side of building with seating by the orchards.
Keep up the great work folks.

Loved this market. They have some of the freshest produce I've seen anywhere and so much of it as well. With the orchards in the back and an icecream shop in the front you really can't go wrong here. There are also coolers full of really interesting and diverse local artisan products that are just as high quality as the produce. All the staff we had interactions with were very pleasent and helpful.. we will come back here whenever we are in town.
Boucherie Trails Parking Lot is a great hiking area that is easily accessible and features many beautiful views. The trail is great for running and has plenty of space to park.
The hike was adequate. At the beginning of our hike, me and my bestie 🧃, noticed that the gravitational pull was equal to the normal force, this was noticed as we stomped. It should be noted that dirt is compact, except one part, where mud provided a great squelching asmr as we enjoyed our hike. The view was spectacular and breathtaking 😱 as shown in my pictures below. The hike was a 60/60 however the view was 59/60. Thank you for reading my review, and please check out my other reviews (unashamed self promo 🤪) P.s my Instagram is @review_viralizer

A short but very rewarding run. 51 min parking lot to top and back. Hikers might find lots of view point on their way up to catch a breath and enjoy the vistas. However, not much space to park at the trailhead as it has space for only 4 vehicles, you might end up parking on the side of the road.

Nice trail to the left , not to hard brings you to the top .trail to the right is steep you go along a rocky wall on the left ,( see pictures ) if take the same down you got to be careful it's steep at spots . You can keep going it is more of a forest and it connects to the main trail .

I was recommended Kalala by the staff at the Little Straw Winery, (which I would conversely recommend).
The positives:
+ Fantastic outdoor scenery
+Nice and unique tasting presentation as a “flight of wine”. Cool to see a change-up of sorts.
The not-so-positives:
- compared to other local wineries the product isn’t as tasty.
- $20 for a tasting flight of wine! Yikes. And this few IS NOT waived upon purchase.
- the wines were delivered to our table but not explained. No story told about the winery, no mystique, here’s your wine. Just not what I’ve come to expect from Kelowna wineries.
- we were asked to clean up and return our own glasses after the tasting. Not that I’m above lending a hand, however for 4 tastings @ $20, plus tax, PLUS TIP, I think our table can be cleared.
Three out of five stars I feel is a higher than I would like to score, mostly bolstered by the stunning scenery. The management just needs to land on planet earth and make a more competitive menu and reasonable tasting pricing and incentives to attract would-be wine lovers.

Kelowna is very famous for its winery and every place has some specialty which confuses the consumers. For someone who doesn't drink but wants to purchase as a gift for a friend or another family member can even be harder. Thanks to a friend of mine who recome this place. I was offered to taste different wines. Wide collection, Gold and Silver standard wines, humble and very friendly owner and the staff members. I will definitely recommend this place for wine enthusiasts and collectors.

Doesn’t taste like it’s got added ingredients or sugars, just straight fresh apple juice.

Beautiful park to get an awesome view of Okanagan Lake. Very clean and quiet. Places to sit and relax. Has a washroom and benches, and a few old original buildings of days gone by.

This is a particularly quiet park because it is also a cemetery. There is a small parking lot to use while you are using the paved paths to wander around taking in some historical buildings and memorials for some of the area's pioneer families. It is a pleasant park to visit and maybe stop at to eat a picnic lunch.

The park/cemetary was beautiful to see - kudos to the landscape folks. Strolling down towards the lower heritage building when this senior woman comes out of the building and yelled nastily to one of our group to keep the dog on the paved paths only. No signage except to say no unleashed dogs allowed. All it takes is one nasty individual to ruin it. This woman proceeded to get into her vehicle parked right next to this heritage building. Backs up on the grassy area and drives to the parking lot over the paved walkways. I guess the public doesnt have enough "class" to enjoy the park.
The Sncewips Heritage Museum is a small but well-maintained museum showcasing the history of the local indigenous people. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and would be happy to share their culture and history with visitors.

Not very big place, around 10-15 minutes you could have a quick view of the history here, also you are able to stay and watch videos for more information.
The front desk provided travel maps and more details.
By the way, the guide is very helpful and super nice. She gave me some useful advice, also answered me couple questions about the museum and Kolowna.

Having the name Ogopogo heritage museum I thought it would be a great idea to go to and inquire about a few things regarding Mr.Ogo.
Not a joke
Upon my visit I brought with me what I feel are ligit petrified fossilized crystallized samples to get looked at and to see if the they had to offer.
Upon entry just the logo of Ogopogo on the wall behind the secretariat and whom was pleasant at 1st. I asked for artifacts and or pictures and anything Else they had on Ogie.
THEY HAVE NOTHING!! Not a horn not a claw jaw poop or even a stick, she said they only have Verbal information about this sturgeon, whom I by the way unearthed myself and have not had anybody take a visit or deny/confirm you know like go LOOK 😳 figured this wouldn’t be an issue. They are the Ogopogo heritage museum. After being told again and again I brought rocks 🪨 I knew to leave. She began getting agitated and upset 😠 saying only verbal and it’s our spirit animal tossing some 3 rd grade brochure at me than believe this!!!
She straight up says that the Ogopogo does not exist!?? Against her beliefs can’t be true. Folks I’ve been unearthing a tremendous amount of fossils and they won’t come look 👀
HELP ME AND CHANGE YOUR NAME
Appropriating there own story using the name to make a Buck.. wow. I have a full size sturgeon I need them to look 👀 at.

Wow what a treasure trove of knowledge there is here, especially if you're lucky enough to learn from Coralee! We initially went to learn a little about Westbank First Nation and ended up staying half the day, reading the signs, watching the videos and learning so much from Coralee herself on syilx history/culture and the Westbank First Nation's long journey to self-governance.
