They were kind enough to open up their new sparkling bottle. - 2022 Flirty 3 - equal blends of gewurtz, pinot gris and riesling. Bought a bottle ($20.99). - 2021 La gauche - smoky but smooth. This was our favourite of the three reds we tried. - 2021 Cabernet franc - 2020 La droite - 2018 Late harvest viognier - not too sweet, good mouth feel. - Blanc de blanc - first time they've made a sparkling pinot blanc. Excellent bubbly. We bought a bottle ($37.99). Too bad they didn't have their blanc de merlot bottled yet.

Been back to Rollingdale Winery three years in a row…read more 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. 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, a touch smoky. - 2020 Cabernet franc - bolder flavour, but more tannins. Still one of my favourite organic wineries.

Playful, imaginative and excellent wine!…read more Perhaps my favorite of all the wineries in Kelowna, that Hatch is doing something different. Meandering off the main road and down their unpaved driveway, you are greeted by vines overlooking the lake and a sprawling outdoor patio with fantastical art on display. The interior tasting room is casual, a vaulted wooden structure with a library of wine bottles on display. We were instantly greeted and given a cozy corner (6 ft+ from other patrons, appreciate their safety precautions!) to enjoy our tasting. Visiting from California, it was fun to try wines typical to the Okanagan. I especially enjoyed how light and nuanced the Merlots are, since CA Merlots tend to leave me feeling punched in the face. We ended up purchasing a 2017 bottle of The Greatest Love of Mal to bring home. It was divine, with a taste that danced between chocolate covered cherries and a subtle licorice finish... I can easily (and did), keep sipping until the bottle disappears!

The food was also, complex, delicate, and thoughtful, accompanied by flexible wine pairings, which gave us an opportunity to test five of their wines, all terrific. The server here was also terrific, and saved us a trip to the tasting room by letting us sign up for the wine club right there. It's very flexible, just asking for three purchases a year, so we made the first right then, and I selected wines for a case that she even carried to our car.

Definitely has a bit of sweet but not so sweet that it was unbearable. This winery is small but it has a lot of charm and history associated with it. I recommend a tasting to have a taste of their wines and learn the history of their owners. We also grabbed pizza and gelato here. Pizza was good, though there isn't a huge difference in spice between the mild and spicy sausage one. Gelato was good. Get a waffle cone and pistachio. It was DELICIOUS

Wine tastings are complimentary but they limit you to four pours per person. Bottles are in the $15.90 to 43.39 range. We were a large group so we split our group in half. We were four so should have had 16 total tastings to try. Instead, the pourer only let us try 13 out of 14 on the list. Super lame that we didn't get to try the 2014 Eruption. Interestingly, the other half of our group got to try 6 samples each. So I have no idea what was the issue with that guy. Whites - 2016 Bubbly gewurztraminer - 2017 Rose - 2016 Magma white - 2016 Viognier - 2013 Reserve chardonnay - 2016 Lava white blend - this was the only white I liked. A blend of 6 different whites. Reds - 2015 Pinot noir - 2013 Merlot - 2014 Syrah - 2015 Magma red - the only red that was decent. Another blend of 5 reds. Icewines - 2016 Gewurztraminer late harvest - this was incredibly sweet. - 2015 Pinot noir icewine - not sure how but it was even more sweet than the gewurztraminer. - 2014 Riesling icewine - only icewine that was balanced. Wasn't impressed much with the wines or the service here.

We came during the winter, so it wasn't busy but they were really accommodating to a couple that came in 5 minutes before close (and it had started snowing, again.)

This is one of my favorite wineries to visit in the Okanagan region. The wine tasting experience is…read moreenjoyable, especially for beginners, though wine experts or serious wine enthusiasts may find it a bit basic. The tasting staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and do a great job explaining their wines. It's also a great place to spend time with friends and family. That said, I enjoy the restaurant experience here even more. The outdoor seating offers beautiful views and is a wonderful spot to relax with a bottle of wine and good company. While the food isn't the main highlight, it's nice to have dining options while enjoying the scenery. Families will especially appreciate the setup. Kids can play in the beach area, and you can also grab food from the café and have a casual picnic on the grounds. I personally preferred their red wine selection and had a lovely afternoon here with my family. If you're visiting the Okanagan with family, this estate offers one of the best overall experiences in the area, with great views, plenty of space to relax, dining options, and a family-friendly atmosphere.

As always an amazing experience at Frind for their happy hour dome dining…read more The domes are so warm and a beautiful way to enjoy outdoor dining in a gorgeous setting. The food, as always, was delicious. The wings were perfectly cooked, Cajun fries had great flavour, beer cheese was delicious and creamy and the beef sliders hit the spot.

I can't wait to go back (in fact, I have already made another reservation!)
