Do you love bread? GO HERE!…read more AMAZING artisans bread! We stopped in at this small place while in the area visiting wineries. We didn't try any of their wine, instead we got 4 of their different breads, cheese, and fig/onion spread and sat on the back deck and enjoyed it all! Wow, I LOVED their bread. We enjoyed the cheesy bread. There are four different bread combos: Gorgonzola & Fig Preserves Epi, Double Cream Brie & Pear Preserves Epi, Asiago Cheese Epi, and Sopressata & Swiss Cheese Epi. My favorite was the Asiago Cheese bread. Wow, I wish we had these in my hometown! This is a MUST stop in Oliver! Breads: http://www.platinumbench.com/our-bread.html

They were very busy, but they were able to squeeze us in without a reservation (yay!). First, as a bird lover, I just loved that everything was owl themed. The wines were delicate, well balanced and really really nice. The woman who did our tasting was very informative and knowledgeable on the wines, the history of the winery and did a great job walking us through the wines. I fell in love with their Caruja, which is a dessert wine. They had a white and red version and I loved them both. They had lots of fun things in their store, many owl and bird themed items. This place is absolutely worth the stop! But I'd make a reservation so you don't have to weasel your way in like we did.

Phantom Creek Estates is a work of art! We were visiting from the Bay Area in California (where…read morewe've visited world class wineries in Napa Valley many times), and were blown away by this incredible winery. My husband and I only had time to visit 1 or 2 wineries in Oliver/Osoyoos the day after we ran the Half Corked Marathon, and we're so glad we chose Phantom Creek (which was also recommended to us by the owner of a local coffee shop in addition to being featured in the Half Corked Marathon). The elegant angel sculptures and modern design of the buildings instantly took our breath away. Then we stepped out onto the huge outdoor terrace and caught sight of the endless vineyards. This was going to be an experience... It got even better! We were seated on the terrace overlooking those insane views, and enjoyed live music by a local musician while tasting 5 different wines brought out to us by Yun. I can't say enough nice things about Yun: she was so warm and welcoming, and though she said she was new there, her knowledge and hospitality were excellent and that of someone with years of experience. We would love to have her be our wine tasting guide again! She certainly made our visit even more enjoyable. From the Chardonnay, Viognier, and Rosé, to the Carbonic Syrah and Cuvée, we truly enjoyed every sip. My personal favorites were the Carbonic Syrah and Organic Rosé. And to top it all off, we decided to get a couple of scoops of their authentic Italian gelato for dessert. A sweet ending to our unforgettable time at Phantom Creek!

Although I am not sure who uses the pool... also it was too early for lunch so we didnt try the food but it sounds good. The tasting was great and I ended up with a damn good bottle of Nota Bene.

Dont get me wrong it was good and the server was very knowledgable but something seemed off. Anyways well worth stopping in!!

There were only 3 out of many tables on the balcony taking tastings and two people working. I asked if my dad and I could then just buy a glass of rose since they couldn't accommodate us. She very unwelcomely said yes. She was clearly annoyed we didn't just leave. We paid $30 for two glasses of rose and Lisa told us that we could sit outside on the Red Couches (in the hot Sun). There were umbrellas, but at that time of day, it didn't matter where you sat, the sun was setting and it was hot. I asked if we could sit at one of the many empty tasting tables in the shade instead because I didn't want my 70 year old dad sitting in the hot Sun. She said "No." Seriously??? I said, so that section is off limits for us? She said "Yes". I saw there was seating down by the pool in the shade and asked if we could sit down there. She said it was for members only. They must not have any members because NO ONE was there. She suggested an awkward couch in the shade apart from all other areas of the winery, it was a weird place to sit but that's all she could offer us. Why? Don't waste your money here wine lovers. The overall vibe was rude, unwelcoming, snooty, VERY unprofessional with ZERO hospitality and down right strange. It was like they were trying to lose business. The wine was good but nothing is that good to come back and be treated like that. I left there with such a negative energy, I had to literally shake it off before I got back into my car. Will never return and will never recommend.

Newborn winery and no lavish tasting room yet (think off-roading), but somehow I expect a great…read morefuture for this winery. All the wines had a balanced structure, with no watery unless or off flavors on the whole board. We picked up a beautiful Cabernet Franc, and like most of the wines it was less than $25. No typical green pepper flavor in this one, just beautiful red fruit and soft satisfying tannins. I'm no expert at projecting the future flavor of wine but, if I had to guess, these bottles are young versions of great things to come. My wife thinks it's the grapes - they're damn good grapes! Afterwards we found out that this place is the retirement project of Harry McWatters, a legend in BC wine. Together with the fact the Sundial Vineyard vines are over 20 years old it all makes sense...get here while it's off everyone's radar and the wine is reasonably priced.

There is a sweet picnic area outside where you can bring your own food.

They have an assortment of merch to buy - some good gift options like candles and totes. Wine was pretty decent with an orange muscat being the standout.

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.
