Wineries Around Kelowna

Sidney Brown 4/5 a week ago Classy place, holds up to its reputation. This is one of the most reliable places to check out top level wines. For me especially the Old Vines Foch, a grape that is pretty much not grown any more, its a dark red full of flavor, a bit on the rustic side. if you like buy one as you won’t find this grape anywhere else. Generally all the wines are good at Quail’s Gate, the view is inviting and if you an afford it the Restaurant is always a special experience with awesome atmosphere, this time just a fun tasting with friends. We left happy ! A well run business.

Lori Sahebkar 5/5 a month ago Went for a wine tasting and dinner over the Easter weekend. Paolo and Louise in the tasting room were a wealth of knowledge and were able to provide so much information about Quail’s Gate wines as well as general overall pointers on tasting and serving wine. Such a wonderful tasting and learning experience for our group. Dinner in the restaurant was fabulous. Martin, our server for the evening, was excellent. Very attentive without being intrusive, very knowledgeable about the food and recommendations, and overall he helped provide an amazing dining experience for us. Can’t say enough about how fabulous the food was. We were entertaining a relative from Iran, she found the afternoon and evening to be absolutely wonderful due largely in part to the staff. Thank you Martin, Paolo and Louise.

Carlos Pan 5/5 2 weeks ago Food was perfect! Everything was extraordinarily delicious and well executed. Plating was good, wine was good too. Nothing to complain. Would be perfect if they make the sour dough bread complementary. But it’s fine. Easily the best restaurant in a winery in the region.

Wendy Jordan-Olive 5/5 a month ago I felt very comfortable as soon as we walked in to the View. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend you try the signature estate package. This was a great Mothers day gift.

Jon Dyck 5/5 in the last week This winery is a must visit. The wine is truly amazing as well as their ciders. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They make you feel comfortable during your tasting.

Hands in Service 5/5 a year ago The View Winery and Wards Cider has the best of both worlds. No one should have to choose between wine and cider! Beautiful location with kind and knowledgeable staff! I highly reccomend going for a tasting!

Laura Carolina 4/5 2 weeks ago Four tasters from their White Label series for $10; five of their Small Lots wines for $20. Spacious tasting area with both tables and couches. Knowledgeable servers. (Though their dress code could be improved.)

Conner Clarke 1/5 2 months ago I don’t usually leave negative reviews but was very disappointed. Our host must have had a really bad day or something as she seemed extremely burdened and annoyed by our presence. Not friendly or helpful at all. Wine didn’t taste very good either. Nice venue, but would suggest they hire new or train their staff better.

Dan Smith 2/5 2 months ago Advertise walk ins welcome….so we walked in…as no reservations required. Tasting bar empty…5-7 people seated…had no room for 2 of us???? Was told reservations booked for rest of the afternoon.. We later looked and they were still taking reservations on line???…clearly didnt want our business…

Morgan Retzloff 5/5 9 months ago A very good Winery experience. We went for a tasting on 2021SEP11. The only wine I wasn’t a fan of was the chardonnay, however the rest were a 10/10. They have a very beautiful view of their fields. I will definitely be back here next time I visit the Okanogan. I would say this Winery is a must go to stop!

Charles Brisebois 5/5 a year ago The wine was decent, the place wasn’t packed yet, the staff was good, but they bagged the wrong bottle and I drove 4 hours home just to discover the mistake. Now I’m stuck with a bottle I didn’t want in the first place and I don’t have the one I wanted. Edit: Forgot to come back here and edit my review. Owner shipped me the bottle I was supposed to get right to my house at no cost, AND I got to keep the other one. Both excellent wines, and you gotta respect a business owner who owns up to their mistakes. I give props and up to 5 stars you guys go in my book!

Emily van Gils 5/5 10 months ago I’ve always loved Volcanic Hills wine! Either there’s something in that soil or the wine maker just tickles my taste buds in the right way.

Julia Smithers 4/5 9 months ago This place is crazy in a good way. They hand you 3D glasses when you walk in, and you can enjoy all of the insane artwork around the building. Kamryn lead our wine tasting and was so great. She spoke clearly, and you can tell she took her job seriously while also having a good time. Be prepared for very specific food pairing ideas from her, she will make you hungry!

bahram maleki 4/5 a year ago Where the Art and Wine are mixed

Andrew Bentley 5/5 10 months ago This review goes to Laura. We were a group of 3 guys yesterday that came in for a wine tasting. Laura was fantastic and was very knowledgeable about the property. She let us try a couple more red wines as she found out we liked reds more and then we decided to purchase 2 bottles! Kudos to the whole team for making us feel so special and welcoming 🙂

Ally Timlick 5/5 3 weeks ago We had an amazing experience at tantalus. Our server, Amanda, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and bubbly. Would highly recommend for all level of wine tasters.

David Aliverti 4/5 9 months ago Good wine & service based on previous experience, however disappointed this visit on 2021-08-28. Hours of operation are until 6pm. I was there 5 minutes before it closed and they stated their rule was no tasting after 5:30pm. This would be a good information to post on the website. They allowed me to purchased, however after biking 12km including a couple of them uphill, hard to bike hike with a bottle of wine. Had, I know this I would have picked a different location or left early. Disappointed.

Cassandra Preece 5/5 3 months ago We traveled all the way from Ontario this fall and this was one of our many stops while in wine country! Out of all the wineries we went to this by far had the best customer service! Our tasting server went above and beyond for us- she was so knowledgable and catered to all preferences, not to mention let us try more wines than we were supposed to. We had such a great experience that we ended up shipping 12 bottles back to Ontario! I only wish we could order more, we will just have to come back next year!

Mr. Fried Chicken 5/5 a month ago Are you coming back this year with an expansion into restaurant business and a new winery? Just curious 🧐 Edit: sorry about the 3 star… changed it to 5!

Reggie Nemirsky 5/5 a year ago Beautifull place great staff and marvelous wines

Agatha Wiebe 5/5 10 months ago Absolutely amazing!! Very homey feel. Very good service. Had an amazing experience here. Would recommend this!!

Paul Mathers 5/5 10 months ago Really had a great experience with Harley! Loved the wines and the story behind the place. Very happy leaving and cannot wait to be back 😃

Emily van Gils 4/5 10 months ago Not a bad place to visit! The frequency demo of the salt making geometic patterns was really cool. I like the idea behind it. I was not the hugest fan of the winery itself, but I would visit again.

TasteFull Excursions 4/5 10 months ago Small winery with friendly service and a funky musical theme.

Nadene Kuhn 5/5 a month ago Even with going early in the season the vista was wonderful. The staff during our tasting were great! Knowledgeable and engaging, all around an enjoyable experience.

Kristen Garner 5/5 10 months ago Awesome experience with awesome people! My boyfriend and I stopped by the other day and loved everything we tried. It was busy when we rolled up, but the staff were able to squeeze us in and were very kind. Beautiful location. B-E-A-YOOTIFUL wines! Try the 2020 Rosé, it’s to die for!

John Wall 4/5 11 months ago Foodie Friday was a great exsperiance. Live music, good wine and the food truck served up excellent fair even when they where slammed with orders. I highly recommend the exsperiance as it feels like you are far away from city life. My only recommendation would be for them to offer a few selections of craft beers for an alternative beverage option. Staff was excellent and friendly service was amazing.

Herman Hansen 5/5 a month ago Amazing Winery with great vibes and views! Danielle provided excellent customer service and did a great job explaining the wines. Every white and red wine she served was complex and so flavourful it was so difficult to choose which ones to buy! This is definitely a must stop on your wine tour!

Robyn G 2/5 a month ago Went here for the first time just recently. Having lived in the okanagan for 10 years, I had to experience this winery finally. Beautiful modern building, with breathtaking views. However, I have to say, it was rather disappointing. Primarily the service we had received that day was not at all what we expected it to be. It felt unwelcoming, cold, and rushed. One of the cashiers seemed to be giving some sort of attitude towards us for no reason. After making a purchase, our tasting fee was also not waived – this typically doesn’t really bother me as much, but it was in fact the service that did. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

Justin Coccimiglio 5/5 a week ago We had an amazing experience on our trip to my Boucherie!! Our wine connoisseur name was grant! He took us through the history of every grape and glass poured, his knowledge of the product was phenomenal and custom service was beyond exceptional !! Cheers grant we appreciate you!!!

Cindy Mensies 5/5 a month ago Love this little winery…bought my first wine when they opened during Covid and haven’t looked back! All of their wines are AMAZING! Their wine club events are great … this year their rose is so lovely! If you haven’t been to this winery yet…make sure you do…it is worth the drive for the wine and the winery and the food truck! Congrats on making such a lovely place to come and visit,

Tyler Booth 5/5 a month ago The staff is personable and amazing! greet me with a smile every time I come in! The wine is absolutely wonderful with a great variety and bold strong reds! The patio is wonderful and has sun from the moment they open to when they close, during the summer the combination of a nice bottle of wine with the on-site food truck there is no better place to be on a Saturday afternoon.

Jonathan Cameron 5/5 in the last week Great little winery in quiet area of town. Fantastic food and even better wines! The staff are also very friendly and made it a very fun and relaxing experience

Veronique Verreault 5/5 2 weeks ago Such a lovely spot to get a glass of wine before heading out to dinner! Love the branding of their wine, the local artist drawings on each bottle. You can get a bottle at the end and they take off the tasting price, which makes it very reasonable to grab a bottle at the end! Love the stable and the ambiance inside. Lots of local products to get. Must go!

Sarah 5/5 a month ago Had the best time tasting at Hatch. We arrived too late on Friday for a tasting so we came back on Sunday. The sun was shining so we set up outside and had the most engaging experience with Mikayla and Fran. The wines have really developed since they started. For sure a not to miss winery especially for those new to wine looking for a more fun and friendly tasting.

Cole Hendry 5/5 in the last week Alexa was a great guide through these unique wines. We had such a good time, and signed up to be members of the winery. I would highly suggest going if you are planning a trip.

Casey Quesnelle 5/5 3 weeks ago What a beautiful place. So many delicious wines created here. The staff are so welcoming, kind and informative. Views are spectacular and lots of space inside. Will definitely return!

Conner Clarke 5/5 2 months ago Fantastic service and great wines/whiskey. Probably my favorite winery we went too. Would definitely recommend.

Ola Puppy 5/5 10 months ago Love this winery! I have been a club member for two years and last week I was reminded why! Fantastic wines! The views are stunning and the service is always top knotch. Krista runs the member services and doesn’t miss a beat. I felt very proud to be a member and show off this beautiful winery to my friend on our last minute visit from the coast. Can’t wait to return!

Hillary Fraser 5/5 in the last week Excellent winery! Favourite of 10 we visited on our trip. The owner was extremely nice and generous. Can’t wait for our case to arrive! Cute selection of cheeses, spices etc.

Alfie Button 5/5 a year ago Lovely experience for my girlfriend and I. Ryan had a great knowledge of the wine selection and added an awesome sense of humour to the tasting. Would highly recommend visiting and checking out the musical equipment!

Flavio C. 5/5 a month ago Very nice surprise, their Gamay and iced wine are one of the best here. Their Pinot is very smooth, all organic. Very attentive and polite, had a great time there. Family owned 🇨🇦 Also other great Okanagan products are displayed there

blue benoit 1/5 6 months ago Have been a loyal restaurant owner buying 10 c/s a year for 13 years! Just to find out there is no more wine to buy! The winery is in the process of being sold! Would have be nice to know what was going to happen! The wine rep did not know as well! not Impressed!

Boss Sales 5/5 a month ago Amazing! Service at our wine tasking was beyond expectations. Prices and wine are great. Would definitely recommend this place.

Poonam Randhawa 5/5 10 months ago If your into lighter wines this winery carries BFF a lighter red which was a big hit. Skip the Qails Gates and Mission Hills of the world and support these quaint smaller wineries instead. Affordable and good wines 5 stars.

Nicholas Beck 5/5 9 months ago Super small and intimate winery. Highly recommend coming here for a much more personalized and interactive wine tasting as opposed to the larger more commercialized operations.

Cynthia Rougoor 5/5 9 months ago We thought we would try to do a tasting at the modest winery. We were delighted to have such a knowledgeable and pleasant host. The wines were exceptional and we left with almost a full case of wine!! We will be back to restock next time we are in Kelowna.

Katie Heidt 5/5 a week ago Loved their wines! This was the only winery out of the ten I visited where I shipped a box home. Their rose, and reisling-prosecco were especially good. Jess did our tasting and was so friendly and made our visit really fun.

Jenna S 5/5 a month ago What a lovely winery! It’s an old winery with the oldest vines in Kelowna. Our favourite part was that while we enjoyed a wine tasting, the kids loved playing in the shade on a play structure. It was perfect! We then ran through the labyrinth of vines. I highly recommend this winery, especially if you have kiddos who enjoy playgrounds.

bahram maleki 4/5 a year ago Oldest winery in Kelowna

Krista L. 5/5 a week ago Wonderful winery with a rich history. Our guide, Sarah, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wines are unique and tasty.

Kathy N 2/5 a week ago Outdoor event was freezing due to wind. Many people left after the first set. Could have been moved to the sheltered courtyard even. Patrons indoors extremely rude when we used washroom and went inside to defrost between sets. On a positive note, it was nice to be able to taste the 3 red wines available for sale inside before buying a bottle at the outdoor wind tunnel.

myriam therien 1/5 a month ago The architecture is impressive from outside, but that’s it! Wide space, but they didn’t know how to create an ambiance. The wine tasting… do not go! just do not go! Save the time, the money and your taste buds! Unfortunately for them and us, the wine is terrible. Hard to describe, but with no doubt the worst wines I have tasted so far. I wish them luck in the improvement of their products.

Angela G 4/5 6 months ago The Christmas Market tonight had a wide variety of local business’s. From beautiful hand made jewelry, bath bombs, crafts, fragrant soaps, cookies to hand knitted items. Plus you can also enjoy some wine tasting for yourself and sparkling fruit beverages for your youngsters. Outside had a food truck serving delicious cinnamon and glazed donuts with coffee and hot chocolate. There was also a Christmas Market outside, selling clothing and more delicious treats. You can stay warm around a fire pit while listening to some Christmas music. Wonderful Christmas light display. There is also another Christmas Market inside the back building selling delicious baked goods, fruitful jams, and salsa from a local business. You can find some toys for youngsters, we were also fortunate to see Santa and have a wonderful picture taken. Outside could use a couple more fire pits. We enjoyed a wonderful night out with some wonderful people and great ambience.

Reed Paladeau 5/5 in the last week Tried the 2018 & 2016 Pinot noir

Krysten Ververda 5/5 10 months ago We went on a winery tour to a few different wineries and Mirabel was by far my favourite. The tastiest wine and such amazing story. Our guide, Sophia, was so personal and engaging with her story. I’m so impressed with the whole experience!! I recommend stopping at this winery by far. And if you’re lucky enough to top your experience off with Sophia, you will have the best time!

Pamela Mejia 5/5 10 months ago Super sweet winery.. Pure Jem! Spontaneously popped by to check it out and Sophia was extremely kind and welcoming.. quickly bought a bottle of their Chardonnay and was given a Quick sip as one is strongly urged to have a reservation being a small vineyard.. nonetheless my 5 min interaction was divine. I tried a full glass later on it was fantastic! Will be back!
