We came here after seeing the winery on the Kettle Valley Train ride…read more It was very busy. You had to pre buy your wine tasting before entering the tasting room, however tasting was only $6 so not bad. We got to taste 5 wines and there were a lot of choices for white wine. We tasted a few that we liked and we all left with 2 bottles a piece. The young man who did our tasting was great and told us a lot about the wine. The lady who cashed us out was wonderful, friendly and told us about their wine points and we got $5 off our purchase for signing up. Great wine, just a bit busy and touristy for me.

Reason for two stars: It had been a hot summer day, but when we arrived it was evening and was getting cooler (sun almost setting) and quite windy. Because of the dog, we were on the patio. Unfortunately, our patio location was absolutely PELTED by the mist system that felt more like a lawn sprinkler. Even our server said it was unpleasant & unnecessary and she would ask to turn it off. After we asked 3 more times & were told they were turning it off (as our clothes, drinks, and food were getting soaked), the manager finally informed us that it would be a "health violation" and they couldn't turn them off. So bizarre. We left with drinks half full (at least they took those off the bill), very disappointed and kinda angry. Advice: Opt for their sister restaurant, Yellow Dog, up the street. It was a way nicer experience and much better food!

Lovely winery off the beaten path. It's a short drive from OK Falls, and overlooks the valley…read more Nice setup with plenty of seating, tables, and games. They do tasting flights, which is different than most wineries that do each wine individually and talk you through it. I prefer this more casual approach. They're happy to explain and discuss anything but it's less pressure. You can buy a bottle to share and drink it on the patio. Anything you don't finish, just take it home with you Very dog friendly.

The waiter was also really nice and brought us some glasses of sparkling that we wanted to try that were off the menu.

This quaint little area houses many wineries but also this fantastic restaurant. HIGHLY recommend! Every dish was so fresh. You could taste the quality. We left with our bellies happy! Order the beef tartare probably one of the best I've ever tasted. Also huge favorite was the beet salad, so refreshing and flavorful with a whole bunch of textures from the little nuts. The dining area is absolutely breathtaking with gorgeous views of the lake.

We had reservations for a wine tasting on July 3, 2020…read more When we arrived there was only 1 other table with a party of 4 having a wine tasting. We were escorted to a large table able to accommodate 6 but it was just the 2 of us. When the woman who was doing the presentation arrived she was wearing a mask and said that she would stand further back than the end of the table because of concerns about corona virus. She asked us which wines we would like to sample and she went go get the first wine. She then poured us bit for tasting, quoted the description that was on the sheet and disappeared. She had no other tables that she was doing tastings for. She was doing other chores as there were no other customers that she was taking care of. She came back after 5 to 10 minutes poured the second wine, again basically quoted off the printed sheet and took off again. By the time she came back the 3rd time we were listening to the man who was conducting the tasting at the other table as he had actively engaged the customers and was giving the kind of information that I had hoped to have on our wine tasting, especially since we did require a reservation. Our server was trying to get our attention so she could do the final pour and she seemed rather put out that we were listening to someone who actually had something to say. We did buy a bottle of gewürztraminer since it is one of the few gewürztraminers that my husband enjoys. We were in and out and the other table that was there before us were still enjoying their wine tasting experience. We have gone for wine tastings at Wild Goose many times in the past and have never had the experience that we had this time. We did not feel at all welcome and felt like we were treated as if we had some incurable disease. If an employee is uncomfortable with doing wine tastings (understandable) because of corona virus they should be assigned another job until there is a cure for covid.

We had been to Naramata a few times since but because of COVID, Upper Bench was not serving food. Disappointing, but understandable. Anyways this year was our year. We were heading to Naramata from Edmonton for our annual pilgrimage. It took forever with wildfire delays, the rockslide on Hey 9u and other such issues, it we made it. Planned our entire day around getting an Upper Bench pizza. Glorious! We got there on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Walked up to the host stand with sheer excitement. We were asked if we were there for a tasting and we enthusiastically stated we were there for pizza. We were met with "oh the girl who does pizza called in sick today." Try to imagine the level of disappointment. I asked if there was anyone else that could make a pizza, as it seemed strange to me that only one person could make pizza and that if this person called in sick, the entire pizza operation shuts down. But it would seem this is the way it is. Again, sheer disappointment. Please do better.

We drove to Upper Bench from Osoyoos after seeing they are a creamery, as well as a winery! Our…read moreentire morning was spent scouring yelp & social media looking for a winery with some gooooood charcuterie. Cheese is one of my love languages and we were excited to try it. It was PACKED when we arrived & we ended up sitting at the bar where they make the pizza, then migrating to a table as it cleared out. We were only there an hour, but quickly found ourselves alone on the patio. We ordered the charcuterie, which had apples, cherries, a couple slices of bread, a red pepper jelly & 3 small-ish slices of cheese. They included their blue cheese, brie and whatever the 'gold' cheese is. We'd seen prosciutto on their boards on instagram and were really bummed that there wasn't a meat included on the board. While the gold cheese was our favourite, the rest of it was honestly underwhelming for $29, which was a bummer considering it's why we chose this place. However, we also ordered a pizza at the suggestion of our server -- just a margarita pizza, plus added proscuitto which was PHENOMENAL! My boyfriend lived in Italy for a year & said it's the closest to authentic Italian pizza he has found since living there in 2017! My partner enjoyed the Merlot, while I drank the Chardonnay -- the Chardonnay is hands down the best I've ever tried. Honestly, I regret not buying more than 1 bottle! The service was prompt, our server was friendly & checked in with us a few times. He made great suggestions & ensured we were well taken care of. Overall, we'd go back even if just for pizza alone next time we're in Penticton or passing through -- but wouldn't make the 1hr drive from Osoyoos just for the charcuterie! Lol.

We came to taste at the Hillside Estate Winery after hearing many positive things about the wines…read moreand being generally excited to check this spot out. The grounds and gardens are simple and colorful. I think this place was likely built in the late 80s, and it had that retro Steely Dan vibe to the place. We didn't try the dining area, but they do have a low key spot that while not as atmospheric as other winery restaurants in the area, did seem to have a active crowd enjoying the afternoon sun. It reminded me a little bit of V. Sattui in Napa. We sampled several wines in the tasting room and this was one of the few real wine misses we had in the Okanagan Valley. Nothing here really hit the mark and we tried four to six wines, to no avail. Wine tasting can be fairly subjective, but the wines here just didn't mesh with our palate or interests. For us, this winery was a miss.
