La Stella is the type of place I'd consider having a small wedding at. the patio off the back of the tasting room is gorgeous, with an amazing view of the vineyard, and there is the CUTEST little room that looks like a modern version of French Provincial.
The sparkling moscato is *most* excellent, and worth every sip. -

Very nice place to stop.....and while the building is nice, and the view is great, the wines are more hit and miss. As with their sister winery, we liked their first vintage a bit better than the last we tried, but we'll be stopping by again soon!
Tasting room and staff are very nice, price points are a bit high for quality, but I'd still say it's a "must stop" on a BC tour. Of course if the exchange rate was better....I might be singing a different tune.... :-)
Update: On this trip, it's one of the shining stars of the group! Well balanced, and nice line up in general. They're coming along very well! Price points are still a bit high, but hey, when in BC..... -

La Stella's new building is totally gorgeous, and perhaps I am being unfair here to them in particular to have my little nostalgic screed, but it makes me very sad that wineries in the Okanagan are starting to charge - kind of a lot - for their tastings. Five bucks? Come on!
One of the things I've loved the most about tasting in the Okanagan has been that it feels like getting off the track. I love the family feel and utter enthusiasm for food and wine so many of the wineries offer, and the chance to just hang out and have a nice conversation while tasting.
For me personally, I always buy more when I feel like I connect. And, La Stella felt like some of the more sterile mass producers in Napa/Sonoma. Maybe that means they've "arrived," but it feels to me like something's been lost.
That said, their sparkling muscato is absolutely delish and you should definitely buy some- you can still get it in town at Firefly. -

La Stella is a small winery in Osoyoos. It's only been open for a few months, but it's worth a visit. When we arrived, we were greeted and invited to go up to the top of the gorgeous Tuscan style building to see the view of the vineyard and Lake Osoyoos. Breathtaking! This is one beautiful place. The wine is very good. In fact, I am enjoying a glass of Vivace 2006 Pinot Grigio right now!

A beautiful setting and some nice wines. It was a bit busy when we arrived so we were asked if we could wait a few minutes on the deck. It is a gorgeous setting. Our hostess came out and looked around and said, "It is a beautiful day, would you like to do the tasting out here" What a deal some very nice wines in a wonderful setting. The Muscato is a must by, the unoaked Chardonnay very unique and the Fortissimo a great blend. Overall a great, relaxing tasting.
