I've been wine tasting all over Washington this summer and this was my first venture into Canadian…read morewineries. This was our first stop and it wasn't in our original plan because there were no reviews to gauge it, but we thought we'd swing in when we saw the sign. So glad we did. This winery is amazing and it really raised the bar for the rest of our trip. The man behind the tasting bar (Christopher, I think?) was very sweet and very knowledgeable. He said that his family had been making wine for over 800 years. Wow. As to the wine itself - everything we tasted was so so smooth and flavorful. It was all made from certified organic grapes. It was delightful and we've decided that at the end of our trip we are going back for another tasting and intend to bring a few cases back home to the states with us. Anytime I'm in town, I will make it a point to come back to Hainle.

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

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.

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.

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.) Their wines are grouped in Frenzies (drink now, a little lower priced) and Swifties (save and savor, a little higher priced). We bought some from both and are looking forward to enjoying all the wines we purchased

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!

Definitely got to see some behind the scenes rooms where the wine was fermented and barrelled. The tour is cool if you care to learn more about the wine and wine making in general. The tasting itself was alright. Some wines were nicer than others. Unfortunately, the 2023 frost hurt a lot of their crops so their wines were maximizing blends from grapes of other regions. I don't think those were as good. Highly recommend trying some of the reserves and 'higher tier' wines here. The Foch is unique and I really enjoyed their chardonnay.

If you love dry wines, this is definitely the place for you! The sales associate/pourer had a great sense of humor and shared a wealth of knowledge about the wines, covering everything from geography and history to food pairings and even wine trends. He truly knows his stuff and represents the winery well. Everything I tried was on the drier side. While I typically don't prefer dry wines, I still found them enjoyable. Beyond the wine, the winery itself is a stunning architectural gem. The building's unique design, with its aged and seemingly "falling" pieces, gives it the feel of a hidden kingdom or lost city. Inside, the dark walls contrast beautifully with a red-and-gold ceiling, reflecting the intricate bottle designs they've created. A breathtaking 17-foot-high ceiling features a striking piece of artwork, making the whole atmosphere feel so French. I originally stopped by as part of my wine-tasting journey and wasn't planning to try anything here due to a long day. But I decided to go for it, and I'm so glad I did--definitely no regrets! At first, I had a private VIP tasting, but soon after, a wine tour group arrived, making the experience even livelier as I got to drink with new friends. This winery is a must-visit for tour groups, but if you want a more relaxed experience, walk-ins are welcome. However, reservations are recommended during the summer season.

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. The wine is an excellent value as they do not mark it up, which is what keeps people coming back. Service is always friendly with great recommendations and warm smiles. I can't wait to go back (in fact, I have already made another reservation!)

THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here on a Sunday afternoon driving from Calgary and the views were amazing. Walking into the tasting room, the area had so much natural light shining in with beautiful sights of the lake and vines. We didn't have a reservation but the server was nice enough to give us a complimentary tasting of three wines. They were really good! We ended up purchasing a bottle of sparkling rose! THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall tastings will set you back around $30 CAD and the bottle of sparkling rose we got was around $40 CAD. Will definitely be back at this winery when we're in Kelowna.

Thursday sunset hour tastings & nibbles…read more We made a reservation for the inaugural sunset wine tasting experience and enjoyed two, 2oz pours of wine with a small plate of nibbles overlooking the lake. The nibbles were delicious, but didn't necessarily pair with the wines offered, which was my only critique of the experience. The views are magical and we ended up purchasing a bottle of their Cabernet franc, which is a silver medalist and has a gorgeous, velvet texture. Would recommend for anything looking for a fun, casual twist to your Thursday evenings!
