Back for our yearly pitstop to Rollingdale Winery to see what's new…read more Tastings are $8.70/person, non-refundable for 5 pours but you can choose from a dozen wines. 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 estate is gorgeous, on a hill overlooking Lake Okanagan. We dined with some great views on this…read moretrip, but this one beat them all. 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.

This might be the best view for a dinner date in all of Kelowna. My partner and I made sure to come…read moreslightly earlier to explore the grounds and we were quite awestruck - almost felt like we were in Europe! The dinner itself was just great. My biggest fumble was not taking a picture of the tomato tart that was honestly the highlight of the entire meal. Major kudos to the team behind this dish. We didn't go for the Chef's Tasting menu but were perfectly content with the Terrace Dining menu. Service was impeccable and we felt extremely welcomed. Only downside to the experience was the fact that the wines weren't that amazing. Mostly because of the deep freeze that forced wineries to import from elsewhere. Ice wine from Mission Hill is still amazing. Still, the food, service, and ambience made up for this small hiccup! Will most definitely be back and Mission Hill will be our go-to recommendation spot for our friends!

THE BLACK AND WHITE: This was our second to last winery before we called it quits for the night. We came in wanting to try some more okanagan pinot noirs and we got them! They gave us a sparkling pet nat to try as we were walking in which was nice. The pinot noirs here in the classic tasting were alright. One was very light and the other was heavy and leathery. For bonus pours, we tried their late harvest riesling which had that petrol taste profile that I weirdly like. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Great staff and service, however the wines were alright. A tasting was $10 for four pours. Very affordable and would recommend to try at least once.

Our fifth and final stop of the evening was to check out Sperling Vineyards. They're a 100%…read moreorganic, family run winery that's been around for close to a century. We dropped in on a Friday evening with 6:30pm reservations. There's a heritage room and a couple small tables outside to do tastings. We did ours in the latter. Service was incredibly friendly and sweet. Tasting fee varies ($10.00 to $20.00) based on four flight options but each includes three pours. We opted for the classic ($10.00). It's also worth mentioning that only $5.00 of the fee goes toward a bottle purchase. - 2017 Organic old vines pinot - a blend that was light in flavour. - 2016 Old vines riesling - 2018 Organic pinot noir - smokey and medium tannin. - 2020 Organic ruby pet nat - we were given a bonus sample. This was actually one of their natural wines we were hoping to try. Turned out to be our favourite. A touch fizzy and notes of blueberry. We debated getting a bottle ($30.00). Decent wines at SV but we enjoyed the organic wines more out in West Kelowna.

My wife and I shared a charcuterie plate which was comprised of two different salamis, prosciutto, a goat and blue cheese some pickled carrots and onions, olives and a delightful mango chutney. We also shared a chicken pate which was accompanied by a lovely jelly and mustard. Both dishes were accompanied by some lovely baguette slices. We finished the meal with a delightful chocolate cake, more like a torte, with cherries and Chantilly cream. All the food was delightful but priced on the high side for the quantity provided. However, overall a lovely experience.

Made same day reservations for a weekday tasting (3:15pm); super informative and engaging. Friendly, welcoming vibes with two dogs. Tastings are $10.00/person for 5 pours but waived with a bottle purchase. All their prices ($19.50 to $33.50) include taxes and deposit. - 2022 Bright idea - bubbly on the drier side - 2022 Siegerrebe - rare to find as a single varietal. Good mouth feel with notes of tangerine. We bought a bottle ($19.50) - 2021 Chardonnay - not your typical chardonnay. Light with good minerality - 2022 Pinot noir - a touch acidic with cherry - 2021 The pull - smooth, not too tannic - 2021 Malbec ($32.00) - bought a bottle as don't see malbecs often. Supposed to be medium body with blackberry Great slightly off the beaten path winery.

Parking is weird as you have to park next to the building but there's no dedicated parking spaces. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Driving up, it was weird not having a place to park the car, so we just parked at the side of the building. The dogs are nice and playful around the property. Heading into the winery, we had these cute lil wine glasses and the tastings were 5 pours. There were a few grapes that I didn't recognize like the Siegerrebe, but was actually pretty decent. The pinot noir and bubbly was great. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for 2 tastings was $20 CAD. Lots of experimentation here and I'm onboard for it.

The winery features unique 3D artwork, with designs printed directly onto the wine bottles, making them feel extra special. There's also an art gallery on-site that shares the story behind each piece, explaining how the art is created. Some pieces are inspired by childhood memories, while others explore fantastical themes, creating a meaningful connection for visitors. The server is very nice and welcoming. They also welcome you even you are just visiting and want to enjoy the 3D art without getting any wine. As a fun bonus, you'll be given 3D glasses to fully experience the immersive part of the artwork. It's a great combination of wine and art!

The staff provided us with 3D glasses so we could enjoy the paintings with a 3D effect. I was already excited as I walked around the tasting room and decided to try a wine tasting. We tried the Rosé, Woops 2022, Gewurztraminer, Wolf Song, and Phoenix. Our most favorite was Woops 2022, then, Phoenix which we purchased. The Woops wine label is designed upside down, which is really fun, and it tastes great too. Phoenix was full-bodied and tasted really good. I also liked the Gewurztraminer for its well-balanced fruit flavors and sweetness, and the Wolf Song for its buttery taste. We also purchased their original wine glass. This winery is really fun, and I will definitely visit again.

Incredible wines and experience. The service was very good. Location too is beautiful.read more

THE BIG: Located in South Kelowna with gorgeous views of the lake and estate grown grapes…read more Reservations are a must. Small parking lot is available. 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.

Highly recommend Bare Wine Tours, and if you get Dave as your guide, you're in great hands!

They pick you up at your door and drive you home so you're able to just sit back and relax without the worry of driving. It is reasonably priced as well! I think my favourite will always be the classic Sumac Ridge. But we did try an organic winery as well called Sage Hills which was great too! I would definitely recommend Merlin and Bare tours to others!

He was super knowledgeable and friendly. Never tried to sell us any of the wines. He was just lovely to chat with, to learn more about Summerhill's wine and property. Thank you for a pleasant experience, Daniel! Of all the wine tastings I did over the weekend, these ones were pretty good. I don't buy into the whole pyramid structure and however they use that in their winemaking process. However, I will agree that they make really good reds and dessert wines. The property itself was beautiful. They had a really nice spot overlooking the valley. Unfortunately, the restaurant looked a bit dated from what I could see in the the tasting room.

The views, ambiance and service were all excellent! The food was underwhelming. The menu at lunch…read morewas good, with some nice choices and descriptions that sounded intriguing, but the taste did not match up. The Cesar salad would have been amazing if it wasn't drowning in dressing rendering it inedible. (The charge was removed from our bill - service 10/10). The warned olives were a lovely appetizer. The mushroom pizza - not great at all. My other 2 lunch guests also agreed this one would get a pass on our next trip to Kelowna I had high expectations for a fantastic lunch - the food could use some brightening up.
