I mean, they are good, but when compared to the other wineries in the area, the wines scored lower on my list. This was a smaller vineyard so the tasting area was held inside, which felt more like a basement even though it was on the ground floor. It's still worth a visit if you're in the area though.

This tasting room is tiny, but nicely designed and contains everything you need for a lovely wine picnic or pre-meal experience. I read up on the history of this place and was pleased to find out that all grapes come from the Okanogan Valley, and the winery is completely local. They make small batches and the product is just so good. They work with the local co-op of fruit folks called Golddiggers (hah!) and it is really a community affair.

The daughter Manpreet was taking care of the wine tastings while were there and she was so personable, knowledge and helpful. This was one of the nicest wine tasting experiences that we had during our trip to the Okanagan, Osoyoos area. Manpreet told us to make outselves comfortable on the patio and she would bring the wines out to us for our tastings. As each wine was poured Manpreet would describe the wine to us, tell us what foods would be recommended with it and then leave us alone with the wine to enjoy on our own before coming out with the next wine. They were all delicious. After we had finished with our wine tasting we went inside to make our purchases. My husband especially liked the buddaful. There is a tasting fee but it is waived with purchase. It was a wonderful wine tasting and we're glad that we're able to access their wines in Oliver. Go!

Boy, oh boy, we were not disappointed. Robin Ridge Winery is situated in the stunning Similkameen Valley. The 100% estate-grown, organic fruit is crafted into small quantities of high quality wine. I don't know how they do it (maybe with lots of love and also being certified organic!) but they produce intense and quality flavour wines. I enjoyed all the four wines from the tasting which starts with a white to rose and finishing with the intense Gamay red. Their "famous" 2020 Flamingo was not on the tasting menu as stock was getting low. I took the plunge and bought this rosé as it was not sold in the BC VQA while the other rosé, Flicker, and the Chardonnay were. The staff informed us that the rosé wines were named for birds starting with the letter F. How cute! Price points for the wines were surprisingly amazing for the high level flavours and also being a certified organic vineyard. My friend was so pleased , 2 more bottles came home with us. If you are visiting the Similkameen Valley, I strong suggest you stop by. The Chardonnay, Rosé (Flicker) and Gamay were the winners for me and others also agree as there are many winning medals displayed. I look forward to my next return and will be telling my family and friends about this spectacular winery that has it all and maybe some more surprises down the road.

Robin Ridge is a cute little winery in the Similkameen Valley. I first came here when they were…read morehaving a winery fun day, which is when they imitated Cock Robin and let the kids run around the premises, and set up a little archery game for all the kids to enjoy. That kind of family relaxing atmosphere is absolutely great, firstly, and I really like it. The proprietors of the winery are very friendly and the tasting desk is very well-versed in their wines. They usually have up to 8 different wines available for taste and aren't pretentiously charging huge fees like other parts of B.C. (I'm looking at you, Black Hills). In fact, they charge none at all! But you will almsot definitely walk out with something that you like. They have a huge array of reds and whites. In particular, I remember their Flamingo, which is a rose they made from their 15 year old son experimenting with table grapes (I'm guessing for a science experiment? Or for what 15 year olds always want to do, which is make their own wine?). The Flamingo is refreshing and sugarier than most roses, which is a perfect kind of summer wine to relax with. It also reflects that table grape kind of consistency. What keeps me coming back is one of the best medium reds in the province, their Gamay. A lovely wine that matched well with all manner of cheese that I could fling at it, this wine has a beautiful brooding dark fruit aroma but none of the insane amount of body that cabernet sauvignon or syrah carries with it. It's kind of like a merlot, but exciting. Actually, their merlot's quite good too... Definitely check out this place before heading out to Osoyoos. You won't regret it.

The winery is set in a beautiful location, nestled along the Similkameen River in the orchard. They've been growing fruit since 1977 and started making fruit wines to get more return on their crops. When we visited we received a warm welcome in the tasting room and we were even given some artisan cheese from Quebec to nibble while we tasted their wines. You have to love their labels and clever wine names. Pearsuasion ($16.90), a dry white table wine made from, you guessed it, pears and aged in oak. Two more table wines are Adam's Apple ($15) and Cherysh ($19.95). They are both off-dry and made from apples and cherries respectively. Of the eight dessert and fortified dessert wines, I would have to pick the fortified red plum wine Plumiscuous ($29.95) as my favourite, both for its tart taste and the tarty name. At 17 percent alcohol, it would make a great martini with a twist of lemon in a chilled glass. Keep your eyes peeled for Sumac Road when you're on Highway 3 -- if you're coming from the east (Osoyoos), it's a really sharp corner that you're going to have to turn!! Hold on everyone!!
