We expected them to be slow so we're shocked they were open so early for tastings...and it was at the end of the "season" (late September?) but as we drove in we saw a groundskeeper hustle over to the tasting room to serve us there. He was great. Didn't rush us at all. Told us many stories. It was an absolute win. Wines were nice. 100% recommend to anyone doing tours of that area. Not a destination on its own but awesome as part of a food/drink adventure.

They had quite a few samples of wine and I ended up buying 4 bottles. A chocolate dessert wine, a buttery white and two reds. I'm looking forward to drinking them.

My husband and I were on a road trip in the summer and decided to try a local winery on our way. We are so glad we stopped here. Beautiful location near Salmon Arm and a wonderful owner to greet us on our arrival. We went through a tasting and ended up with about 4 bottles. The bottle I opened recently that prompted this awesome review was the 2017 Siegerrebe - delicious! Would definitely recommend stopping by to anyone driving through the area.

Let me premise this review by saying that we planned our wedding in five weeks. Side note, my wife did everything including baking and decorating our three tiered wedding cake so what happened next help relieve some of the stress. I called Doug, the owner, to see about getting a case of the Gewürztraminer sent down to the Lower Mainland as I did not have time to run up to Kamloops to pick it up. I was advised that they did not have any courier or deliver service in place that they were satisfied with. He said they had some problems with previous couriers. When I explained my dilemma for the urgency, he advised me that he was actually coming to the Lower Mainland for some supplies and would be able to bring the case with him. When I asked him where he wanted me to meet in as I would drive to him since he was doing me the favour. He even delivered it to my office in Burnaby at no charge. That to me said a lot about the person that he is and the business that he operates. Everyone at the wedding enjoyed the wine, especially if they prefer sweet. I also went to Sagewood in 2022 when I was up in Kamloops. In fact I visit every time I go.

The shop includes fun trinkets as well as locally-made honey and beeswax products. The tasting was $5 and is refunded if you buy a bottle of wine. The tasting includes 6 wines ranging from whites to reds. It is easy to get to and there are plenty of signs leading the way. If you're driving back to town afterwards, I recommend taking Shuswap Rd for a nice riverside drive. Watch out for cattle-guard.

I didn't know Harper's Trail is the first winery in Kamloops, until we drove up to the gate and saw…read morethe sign indicating that. They had a busy summer and was sold out of most of their wine. We were lucky as they would close for the season the next day after our visit, and reopen in April or so. I never knew wineries will close for Fall/Winter. There were 5 types of wine to taste - Sparkling Chardonnay (like champagne - on the dry side) - Field Blend White (I like this, very light) - Silver Mane Block Riesling (not very sweet and is heavier than the Field Blend White, but has a stronger flavor) - Chardonnay (too dry for me, but it has an interesting oak flavor, not a typical Chardonnay) - Pinot Noir (only red available then, very strong and dry for me, but for red wine lover, this will be good) I bought 3 bottles - Field Blend White, Riesling and the Pinot Noir. The $5 tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle of wine. I was told Harper's Trail specialized more in white wines, which could explain why they only have 3 types of reds (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Field Blend Red). I also got the wine flavored jelly and honey. Lovely place.
