This winery was a WOW! They allow you to taste what seems like a dozen wines! All of which being served by a the hilarious middle aged women working the room. They offer unique flavored wines. I had to grab a bottle of their hot pepper wine. It's spicy and sweet and there is a pepper inside the bottle.

be prepared - on a busy day, you can hear the hostess outside, across the property, because she wears a microphone. The tasting room is so busy on weekends that I have just given money to my friends, sat outside and enjoyed the rose garden, and pretty much avoided actually having to taste inside - I tried their wines later because microphone + tons of drunk people + heat = no thanks.
Flame is very interesting aperitif, and even Burrowing Owl Vineyard has a Caesar based on Flame with pickled garlic scapes. -

Would you like some humour with your wine? You'll get it here! The host and hostess crack jokes about their wines -- some are even on the naughty side, I love it!
They have a selection of white and red table wines, including a very unique white called Sage Grand Reserve ($26.96). It's made with Gewurztraminer (an already fragrant grape) then fermented with wild sage plants. The resulting aroma is like nothing you've tried before.
Another unique find here is The Flame Aperitif Wine($24.95). It's a late harvest Gewurztraminer with a hot red pepper in the bottle! You can sip it on its own or take your Caesar to a whole new level. I *love* Caesars made with The Flame instead of vodka. It's highly recommended!!
They also have a wide selection of grape and/or fruit dessert wines. There is a beautiful garden out front, so if you're there in the summer, make sure to leave some time to smell the roses!Listed in: South Okanagan Wineries

Review from Carolyn C.

Silver Sage winery is located in a monstrous house along the old Okanagan river channel. The winery exterior is almost park-like, with manicured lawns, flowerbeds and willow trees along the riverbank. A regal iron gate marks the entrance to the facility's long drive. There is also an outdoor patio and gazebo where visitors can relax.
Silver Sage's vineyards were planted in 1996 by Victor and Anna Manola, Romanian immigrants who had lived in Vancouver prior to purchasing the current 25 acre site.
Silver Sage is not a conventional winery in its products or methods. The winery offers various fruit dessert wines, including The Flame, which is bottled with a chili pepper. The Sage Grand Reserve is gewürztraminer fermented with sage, resulting in unusual, but enjoyable wines.
Silver Sage has an ample tasting room, and can accommodate a fair number of visitors. Be prepared to encounter line-ups in the summer (as per usual in the Okanagan). Proprietor Anna Manola is often at the tasting bar, and can obviously provide a wealth of information on the winery.
Last Word:
This winery is a worthwhile visit for those with a sweet-tooth for wines, as well as those looking for a different wine experience. -
