South Okanagan Wineries
See All Lists
1. Twisted Tree
This is in my top tier of wineries to visit. In addition to a beautiful view of Osoyoos Lake, it's a small, new, beautiful wine tasting room and the host has a charming French accent. He took a lot of time with us and didn't rush us through any of…More »
2. Le Vieux Pin Winery
This place is a wine snob's paradise. Just take a look at their labels: vintage, varietal, vineyard, soil, region, harvest date, brix, oak, tons per acre, vineyard manager and winemaker are all listed, in addition to the number. That is some…More »
3. Silver Sage Winery
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…More »
4. Hester Creek Estate Winery
Hester Creek has a beautiful setting on the West side of the valley. The hosts here are always very welcoming. During one visit we talked with the proprietress and she was so happy to share with us all the information about how the wines are made.…More »
5. Dolci Deli
Before you head out wine tasting for the day you have to stop by Dolci Deli at the top of Main Street in Osoyoos and pack your picnic basket. The Swiss/German owners keep a full stock of great deli meats and cheeses and they will make any sandwich…More »
6. Toasted Oak Wine Bar & Grill
This is a must-stop while you're doing your South Okanagan wine tour. It's easy to drop by when you've come up Highway 97 from Osoyoos (stopping at Hester Creek, Gehringer Brothers, Tinhorn Creek, Road 13, Inniskillin, Antelope Ridge, etc) and want…More »
7. Nk'Mip Cellars
You have to go out on the patio that is attached to the tasting room while you are here. You will be rewarded with the most amazing view of the vineyards with the lake and Western mountains as a backdrop.
You can taste a lot of the wines at Nm'Mip…More »
8. The Burrowing Owl Winery
Burrowing Owl is an imposing winery way up on the hill of the Black Sage Bench. You can get a fabulous view of the South Okanagan Valley from their patio. The winery has a self-guided tour with lots of written material posted around for you to…More »
9. Road 13 Vineyards
If you have any sort of princess fantasies, you can play them out here! As you drive up Road 13 you'll be swept away by a fairytale castle. That, in itself, is enough reason to make a trip to Road 13 Winery.
The winery used to be called Golden Mile…More »
10. Tinhorn Creek Estate Winery
Tinhorn Creek is an attraction. It has an amazing view, you can do a self-guided tour, and it has a large tasting room. If you are (or are hosting people who are) more tourists than serious wine snobs, this is a great choice. There is a lot going on…More »
11. Quinta Ferreira Estate Winery
Quinta Ferreira refers to the five members of the Ferreira family. You got it, this is a Portuguese-Canadian family-run estate winery. You can find some really great value in their wine shop.
Usually you'll have of the family members pouring the…More »
12. Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery
Have lunch before you visit Gehringer Brothers. It's crazy how many wines you can taste here!! I suppose spitting is also an option, but really, who spits?! Some Okanagan wineries call the spittoon the "sin bin."
The winemaker here is of German…More »
13. Desert Hills Winery
The man who has always poured wine for me here is such a nice guy. He'll smile and charmingly tell you "you can buy my wine now and save yourself time, because you'll be back if you don't." It's so true! Their wines are really easy to drink and…More »
14. Inniskillin Winery
I had high expectations for this winery that scored at #7 in the Top 20 Canadian Wine Awards of 2008, as judged by Wine Access magazine.
We found that they have a very wide offering of table wines, and some are very simple. Especially the ones that…More »
15. Antelope Ridge Estate Winery
We got excellent attention when we went to this winery. The winemaker's Mom poured samples for us! She has a beautiful French accent and knows a lot about wine. She even followed us out to the parking lot and talked to us about the vineyard, the…More »
