Me and my brother in-laws went to Desert Hills Winery while staying in Osoyoos…read more It's situated on Black Sage Rd where the majority of the wineries are in the area It's a smaller venue Tons of acres of vineyards sprawl in their plot of land They have a bistro unfortunately that wasn't open the time we had went The menu looked good and reasonably decent They even have these cabanas you can dine out of which is really cool They even have this friendly dog that greeted us with a rock in his mouth However there is a sign that states he's not good with other dogs so I'd recommend not bringing your pooch to this winery We had a wine tasting for $5 I liked this tasting a bit better than another winery we went to because we got to chose which wines we wanted to taste off their menu We tried the Chardonnay, the gurtztreimener, the savay noir, the flora & fauna, the Syrah and our server gave us an added one in the port I definitely recommend the gurtztreimener, the Syrah and the port Ended up buying a bottle of the gurtztreimener The most unique one was the savay noir as it had this smoky taste to it which unfortunately was caused by the forest fires from years prior but brought this unique flavour to it Our server was super friendly and gave us great info about the wines we tried Definitely recommend this place to hit up while doing wine tasting in the area

They have a $5.00 tasting fee and you need to purchase 4 bottles before they refund your money…read more Desert Hills has been one of our favorite wineries but we will not be returning since we are against non-refundable tasting fees. We feel that the wineries are trying to promote their products and should not be charging a fee to promote their products. That being said while we enjoy Desert Hills wines they will not be on our itinerary on future trips. There are plenty of wineries who have wines that are equally as good and do not charge to sell or promote their wines.

I came here with my husband and my mom on a very warm afternoon. We had heard good things about…read moreRuby Blues and wanted to check them out. We were not disappointed! It's definitely got a funky, hippy vibe going on. They have a Volkswagen bus as a mascot, and they take it to the local farmers market on Saturdays in the summer to sell their wine. And the views were just gorgeous! The lady who did our tasting was nice and very knowledgeable. We did our tasting outside, but there was a lovely breeze and some shade. We tried 5 wines and I liked most of them. There is a $10 tasting fee that is waived if you buy a bottle. I ended up getting 3 wines, the Stiletto Red, Stiletto White and the Rose'. The Rose' was my favourite, I went back to the farmers market the next week to get another.

We had so much fun at Ruby Blues! Very friendly even with the tasting bar completely full. Fun…read moreatmosphere, fantastic wines and great company. We love our Canadian friends & had a great time laughing about politics. They may have convinced us to move here! We will definitely be back next summer.

If you make an appointment (which is preferred) spend the extra money and grab the picnic options. I was super jealous of what the neighbors were chowing on. If you sre trying to be frugal, grab some Sammie's from Safeway or one of the local cafes and bring them with you. The lady that did our tasting was more than welcoming of outside food and us sticking around to chill and take in the beauty. I wish we had brought food ir did the picnic. U Can't add the picnic option when u are there because the good is picked up and prepped for each day. On to the wines.....so yummy The Chardonnay, was won of the best I have ever had, its actually giving my current fav (3 sisters) a run for its money. This Char is described as buttery, to me u really taste vanilla and caramel. Its just so lovely. I also quite enjoyed the "Trio" Meritage, so much so I bought 2 bottles and have already drank one. Trust me on this one, add it to your list!!!!

They have an outdoor seating area with wine tasting service served to you, with incredible views looking out over the valley. The staff member that attended to us was so knowledgeable and kind, we wanted to stay for hours (even though we couldn't). The wines you select for tasting come in a little box with fact sheets about each wine underneath the tasting glasses, which I loved. Having the wines served this way allowed us to sit and savour and not feel rushed to have the next pour. And about the wines - excellent! We went home with a couple of bottles, with the chardonnay as a clear winner. Come check this place out next time you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.

He was very impressed with the gin, which even smelled very fresh. He also really liked the raspberry liqueur, it had a real fruit flavour and not that fake fruit taste you often find in liqueurs. We would have purchased a bottle but unfortunately they were sold out. Another batch is on it's way though. Overall, a excellent local distillery. Check it out, small batch spirits are far more complex and interesting than most big brands people are used to.

Last time I visited, a staff member named Chris helped me select a number of beer bombers that I would have otherwise never tried, and each was spectacular.

We visited here twice during our trip to Penticton and, both times, the folks who worked here were so friendly and helpful. They had what we wanted - and more! - and the prices were comparable to anywhere else. They had a well-stocked cold room, and tons of ciders and wines. (It's cool to recognize so many of the wine labels as being locally grown here in this area! You could visit most of these vineyards and go for tastings. We love that!). We liked how pristine clean this store was, how well laid-out it was, and also that they have extended hours of operation (9am-10 pm every day). And since it's in a strip mall, there's lots of parking, right by the door (which is handy if you have a heavy load of bottles or cases you purchased!). Note: the website for this store is angryotterliquor.crs (for some reason, Yelp doesn't recognize this website. But it's legit!).

Rachel who was helping us through the wine tasting was too assertive and not welcoming. She might be best in the back room filling in the orders and limit her customer engagement. It was not only Rachel though that was a turn off as the couple two tables over also had a poor experience. This lovely couple wanted to take in scenery and enjoy the experience, sadly they're attendant was also rushing along their first selection; they immediately left. Customer service is significantly lacking and the clear parking lot should have been our first indicator. Get rid of Rachel and maybe give some customer experience lessons to the younger lady as a teachable moment. The wine wasn't that great either as it is overshadowed by the arrogance and micro aggressions.
