When we came to Kelowna for vacation we were excited and looking forward to dining at Tula for my birthday. It's part of Little Straw Vineyard. We didn't had much time for wine tasting so ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. Food and ambience was good. We ordered Tailgate wine and it was easy drinking with mild acidity. I loved it. They are very passionate about what they do. read more

Our family went here today to celebrate Father's Day. The food was fine but what we were really disappointed in was the WARM white wine that was served to us. That is really odd since, you know this is a WINERY and they should know to serve it chilled. read more

Tried out Tula at Little Straw Vineyards. Fantastic Indian food and wine. We ordered way too much, but we wanted to try so many things and the bonus was we have left overs. Definitely will be returning! read more

Our fourth and final winery stop. We saved the best for last. Little Straw Vineyards was easily one of our favourite wineries of the trip. Wine tasting are pay by donation. Really great value for their bottles, especially if you in bulk (10% off for 6 and 20% off 12 bottles). Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Whites - 2015 Old vines auxerrois - this was my favourites from the whites. So good I bought a bottle ($17.90). - 2016 La petite paille sauvignon blanc - 2017 Sauvignon blanc - 2016 Tapestry - 2016 Pinot rose - 2017 Chenin blanc - this wasn't on the menu but it was excellent. Always love my chenin blancs. Grabbed a bottle as well ($21.00). Reds - 2013 La petite paille cuvee noir - 2016 Blau frankish foch - 2014 Marechal foch - 2012 Southern cross - this was the only red that I enjoyed from the bunch. A blend of four wines; smooth, oaky finish. Excellent quality wines and true value at LSV. We bought almost two dozen bottles. Definitely should be on your list of wineries to visit. read more

Spent a most enjoyable couple of hours at Little Straw Vineyard for the Cabernet du Jour Christmas Show last night. The music was fantastic with David caressing the keys and Chris, with her impressive vocal range, working their way through jazz standards, the most beautiful festive season songs, and a little country thrown in to keep it fun. Cosy atmosphere bathed in blue twinkle lights made the Cabernet--the duo and the wine--go down so easy. The winery as venue and the musical duo were a perfect match that you should definitely try to catch the next time. read more

Popped in for a tasting on Saturday, had a wonderful experience! I was in town visiting from Seattle, we were very happy to hear a portion of our tasting fee and bottle purchase went directly to support local firefighters. Thank for for the kind service and memories! read more

The wines here were okay but nothing to write home about. I didn't really have any that stood out to me. The host of our wine tasting was very nice and engaged despite having to serve a couple of different groups which I appreciated. She was also very knowledgeable about wines. But none of the wines I liked enough to buy. read more

This hidden gem is a "DO NOT MISS" Winery in West Kelowna. At Little Straw you will find some of the best wine under $20 in all of B.C. I went there with a friend in August 2020 and we left with 11 bottles! Which is the most I've ever bought at a winery. Their sweeter patio friendly whites are wonderful and we found some reds we enjoyed too. The customer service was incredible and we got to meet Barb the wine maker who is incredibly passionate about making wine. Also, their COVID 19 protocols are some of the best I've seen and we felt very safe. This winery should be more popular and you HAVE to stop next time you're in the area read more

I absolutely loved this winery! I was brought here on a wine tour for my bachelorette party. The staff were very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. The wine was delicious, reasonably priced, and the winery was so beautiful! We were on a tour and we were supposed to have stopped at Quails Gate winery, they were very rude and snobby (would not recommend this winery to anyone). As a result of no longer going to Quails Gate, we arrived at Little Straw early but we were met with a warm welcome. Such a fun place to visit. There was a selfie station outside, many photo opportunities, and a cute "cork tree" in the front. I would definitely recommend this winery! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my visit here. We stopped for a meal first opting to have their special of the day: pinot-glazed salmon and beef sliders, both served with a side of potato salad with dill. Both were fresh and delicious. The potato salad was surprisingly light and tasty. If everyone could make potato salad like this then the world would be a much tastier place. I loved my sliders. Perfectly cooked and seasoned well. I definitely would recommend stopping by for a bite to eat if you're in the middle of a DIY winery tour. We sat out on the deck overlooking all the other wineries and the lake beyond. After our meal, we tasted their wine. I'm no wine connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination, but I enjoyed what I tasted and ended up taking home a bottle of their Rosé. This little winery is definitely worth a visit and I'd gladly go back for another meal. read more

This winery delivers every year. In my mind they have some of the best white wines in the region. This quaint vineyard located on Westbank is a must stop for any newcomers. The staff are really friendly and talkative. Tons of stories and good banter if you're the social type. You must try all their white wines. Their array of flavours will please any palette. But be warned, this vineyard also has some really nice reds on the softer side of taste. You have to stop here for a bottle...or 4...or 5.... read more

While on the Westbank, we were looking for a winery that served lunch, so off it was to Little Straw. The restaurant was full, so we couldn't get a table. It was disappointing because the food option looked fresh and seasonal. We decided to try the wines instead and weren't disappointed. After paying a tasting fee (money goes to a charity - LOVE!), we sampled several wines and the tapestry was our favourite. The staff were friendly and clearly passionate about their family-run winery. I would definitely return to pick up some more wine and I'd love to visit the restaurant too. read more

Little Straw blew me away. Beautiful winery on a beautiful vineyard. Everything was family run from the storefront to the upstairs restaurant where the staff (mostly family) were cracking jokes and providing excellent service. The wines we tasted were incredible and we picked up the Rose and Tapestry wines. I loved how interactive everyone was with their suggestions and they really catered to each individual palate. I was so impressed with the staff, the wine, the food at the restaurant (which was delicious), the story of the winery and the vineyard, and the scenery. (So many excellent photo ops.) Definitely going back. read more

Yelp ... I think we shall stick with food reviews. Wines are great. The attitude in this shop is lacking though. Maybe we came on an off-day but the two people who were working here seemed as if they didn't want to be there which is too bad. There are so many amazing wineries in this region that you cannot afford to offer sub-par customer service. Get your act together. Wines are good though which is the saving grace for this vineyard. Otherwise, it would be a sad 2 stars in my books. read more

Wow! I haven't been this impressed with a winery in some time! Little Straw you blew it out of the water for me! I'd heard about this place in the past and was fortunate enough to try a couple of there wines prior to showing up... the guy who runs the is place is unbelievable! He tried all of the wines with us, making suggestions and and chatting with us. We were with an engaged couple so he took us on a tour of the place and showed us the areas to host events. I must say this place has a stunning view and would be an exceptional venue for a rehearsal dinner. I was so impressed with the staff here as well as the wine and the fabulous artwork I simply can't wait to go back! This place is number one on my list of places to return to! You guys out did yourselves! read more

We came across this place by accident and were so happy to say it was the last meal we had before hitting the road back to Vancouver. The sun was shining and the views were endless from the deck. The menu is so creative and flavourful, with Mediterranean influences. We started with the tomato bruschetta and shared the Macedonia Platter with 8 skewers of grilled beef, pork, lamb, chicken and prawns (you can mix up each amount), dolmades, roasted potatoes,grilled vegetables, humus, tzatziki, and grilled pita. It was plenty for a family of 4 and was a great compliment to the wine. It's very rare to have a relaxing lunch with 2 toddlers, but the fact there were healthy dips, easy to pick up skewers and endless pita, I was able to sit back with my wine on the deck and enjoy the view. Service was flexible, prompt and friendly. We hope to go back on our next trip there. read more

This place is great. I wanted to try all the wines. Instead of paying for the tasting they asked for donations for the local food bank and I loved that. We bought the tapestry which is what they are known for and the ice wine. The sauvingn blanc with grapefruit was really good as well. read more

Very tasty wines and friendly staff. We went on a cold snowy winter day and were e only people there. So it was relaxing and enjoyable.

First... Thank you Trevor for a fantastic dinner with one of the most beautiful views. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Trevor in the tasting room before dinner. We sampled a few of the wines but what was great was the Tapestry wine. Just got released the day before. While sampling the wines, we were able to hear about his passion....great food paired with great wine. There was 2 of us and we shared a bottle of Riesling which is only $10.00 above market price. We had the shared apply to start. An assortment of crostini topped with different tapenades and cheese from Armstrong. We shared the Funghi Volitini and Pinot Noir a Smoked salmon. Flavours were amazing. We paired the Volitini with the Marèchal Foch. Thank you also to Samantha (I hope that's her name) our hostess/server and again Trevor for your knowledge in food pairing that was delicious and allowing me to put a memorial sticker on an oak barrel. We will be sure to visit next time!!! read more

Little Straw Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - West Kelowna, British Columbia

I wish I could give this place zero stars. We went to Little Straw Vineyard as our first stop on the wine trail, and I thought we were in for a long day. We pulled up and it is a very nice little setup there with views. Unfortunately that's where it ended. We went inside to the tasting room and there was one staff member to only said "tell me if you want to taste" about 5 minutes after we walked in. It was very quiet there, except for the worker banging around. The vibe there is that we were an inconvenience. We left, thankfully other wineries were more welcoming. read more

Was here over the July long weekend. We stopped by the visitor center and ask the clerk if there were smaller wineries along my journey and she directed me to this winery. We love the fact that there is no tasting fee (to be correct, tasting fee is optional and off it goes to charity which is AWESOME), the wine was A-Ok. The staff member was friendly, fast and knowledgeable, however the wine just wasn't up to my liking. I probably wouldn't come back for wine tasting but I would be interested in having lunch as the upstairs dining area gave me some good vibes. read more

what a nice place... good wine, and a informative wine tasting staff. looking forward to the 2 bottles of wine i brought home

I wanted to visit a smaller winery on my way to Vernon, and this was the right choice! Great wines (I only tried the whites though), and I had a lovely lunch on the patio overlooking a beautiful view. Service was friendly and fast, and the food was tasty. Not a huge selection, but I had the 'Chef's Choice,' which was a bit of everything they had on the menu, and it was a healthy portion and delicious! Great place to stop. read more

New year, new Chef, new review. Don't pass up Little Straw Winery/Barrel Top Grill! I have a feeling many people who come to visit the Westbank for wineries like Quails Gate and Mission Hill may be missing a real gem in Little Straw. This is a small family owned place with some outstanding white wines and a great "bistro" attached. We have been coming here for years and it keeps getting better. First, the view from the winery and restaurant is fantastic, overlooking the vineyards and lake. The staff are all outstanding and very welcoming. Now to the wines, the whites are some of the best around the whole area. Unfortunately, they just ran out of the 2010 Riesling this past week (luckily we got a case before they were out) but the Sauvignon Blanc and Old Vines Auxerrois are truly wonderful. The Tapestry is also a wonderful white blend. They do offer some nice reds but the whites truly are some of the best in the region. Now on to the Barrel Top Grill. Again, we have raved about this in the past but now they have a new Chef, Trevor Mayhew who is really doing what should be done at a vineyard, Tapas. Trevor is also doing some great smoking using regional ingredients and interesting smoking techniques. When we where there this time we had some outstanding smoked pork followed by some wonderful smoked salmon and then a great espresso/Pinot Noir reduction glazed lamb. The great thing about this place is that it is what a winery should be, small, quaint, friendly and outstanding food. Granted, Quails Gate and Mission Hill are wonderful as well but I would much rather have a great glass of wine with some fresh Tapas and chat with the Chef on the balcony overlooking the vineyards then be in a more pretentious setting. If you pass up Little Straw you will be missing a lovely, relaxing afternoon. read more
