They do tasting flights, which is different than most wineries that do each wine individually and talk you through it. I prefer this more casual approach.

Anything you don't finish, just take it home with you Very dog friendly.

It's like saying Return of the Jedi is disappointing compared to The Empire Strikes Back. You still got that awesome speeder-bike chase and that moment Luke flips out and attempts patricide. But yeah, when grading against the other two, it's not the best. This assumes I am not counting the prequels. It's certainly not The Godfather, Part 3--Meyer Family Vineyard is still a great place, featuring an impressive view, and boasting a broad selection of wine served by a knowledgeable and generous host. It has a welcoming tasting lounge blessed with delicious temptations for one's next picnic. The issue once again is that Meyer Family Vineyard was neither our first winery nor our last on this day. It wasn't even the fiftieth for my girlfriend and me in total. We were up to seventy by this point in the Okanagan alone. And Meyer Family Vineyard is good, worth a visit, but if your time is paramount and limited, it would not be a priority on my list. Meyer followed Nighthawk and would be followed by Synchromesh, both superior wineries. But I won't attempt negativity as the location is still good. We just didn't buy any wine. I did buy crackers. I mean...crackers. That's something. Right? Another comparison would be someone offering me a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup after I finished sucking on a Lindor chocolate with a bowl of those still tempting me. Sure, I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but when there's a bowl of Lindors... ...Unfortunately, I'm also overweight, so I'd find a way to fit in both. Hmm, that's a better comparison. If you like wine and are touring the region, fit in Meyer, and then feel guilty afterwards.

We had reservations for a wine tasting on July 3, 2020…read more When we arrived there was only 1 other table with a party of 4 having a wine tasting. We were escorted to a large table able to accommodate 6 but it was just the 2 of us. When the woman who was doing the presentation arrived she was wearing a mask and said that she would stand further back than the end of the table because of concerns about corona virus. She asked us which wines we would like to sample and she went go get the first wine. She then poured us bit for tasting, quoted the description that was on the sheet and disappeared. She had no other tables that she was doing tastings for. She was doing other chores as there were no other customers that she was taking care of. She came back after 5 to 10 minutes poured the second wine, again basically quoted off the printed sheet and took off again. By the time she came back the 3rd time we were listening to the man who was conducting the tasting at the other table as he had actively engaged the customers and was giving the kind of information that I had hoped to have on our wine tasting, especially since we did require a reservation. Our server was trying to get our attention so she could do the final pour and she seemed rather put out that we were listening to someone who actually had something to say. We did buy a bottle of gewürztraminer since it is one of the few gewürztraminers that my husband enjoys. We were in and out and the other table that was there before us were still enjoying their wine tasting experience. We have gone for wine tastings at Wild Goose many times in the past and have never had the experience that we had this time. We did not feel at all welcome and felt like we were treated as if we had some incurable disease. If an employee is uncomfortable with doing wine tastings (understandable) because of corona virus they should be assigned another job until there is a cure for covid.

If you haven't booked one of the private tasting rooms, you'll be taken outside to the back patio of the building to enjoy great wine and a stunning view of the valley.

The gentleman who lead us through our tasting was wonderful (and VERY patient - we'd hit another winery before we got to Noble). He had a lot of knowledge to share.

With vendors from local wineries and eateries, there will be something here for everyone in your crew. Grabbed a beer flight at Neighborhood Brewing - standouts were the Lime Lager and IPA.

We had the nachos and Potato Confit Flatbread - both were super good, including the cilantro crema of the nachos. The peach Bellini machine wasn't ready when we first arrived, but by the end it was available to give us testers and we might come back just for those. TIP: drinks can only be consumed in the patio of the establishment you're buying from, but food can be delivered to any of those patios. Centre seating is table service by Ward's that allows you a taste of beverages from any of the vendors. Also, the water features around the center are pet (and people) friendly for cooling off on a hot day. The outdoor environment, even on a hot day, was a nice setting for appreciating the surrounding area. Also enjoyed the acknowledgment of First Nations' people who first inhabited the area (like all good Canadian establishments).

I know charcuterie boards are having a moment and Nighthawk's is by far the best.....nothing else comes close, anywhere. But this review is about their bed & breakfast accommodations. My wife and I stayed there recently while attending a family reunion down at the lake. After all the frenetic family activity at the lake, the solitude and quiet of the tent house were just what the doctor ordered. Enjoying the view of the vineyard and lake from the porch was very relaxing. The location is remote enough that there are no lights to block out the stars. The only sounds at night were the breeze rustling the Ponderosa pines and the owls calling to each other from one side of the valley to the other. And the breakfasts, like the regular bistro fare, were simple, but elegant and exquisite: Fresh pastries, local fruit, and probably the best coffee in the Okanagan. This was how every day should start and end. Christy and Daniel really know how to run an inn. I cannot recommend this place enough, for all the experiences. We will definitely be back.

Nighthawk Vineyards…read more Having visited over 100 wineries in the Okanagan region over the course of a year, I hope my opinion carries some weight by saying Nighthawk Vineyards has the best view in the entire Okanagan. There's a valley with a lake sitting at the base. Vineyards crawling up to the winery. A solemn log house fringing freshly cut grassy hills--look, I got photos, just check those out. It's a narrow margin, I will admit. I mean, when you consider Bench 1775 or Arrowleaf, second place is not that far behind. But at the end, I must admit that Nighthawk takes the top prize. We would have remained longer if we hadn't enjoyed a picnic at See Ya Later Ranch the hour previously or if it hadn't been hotter than the surface of Venus that day. Yes, I am exaggerating; it was like 32 degrees, but I am from Northern Canada, so there. Nighthawk is further out than See Ya Later, so a further diversion down a road you probably were unsure about being on. You certainly cannot drive past it. It's a destination. My group and I had figured since we were out this way, we might as well hit up another one. And you should to--this place is incredible. Admittedly, there is bias--we were the only ones there that time, so we had the grounds to ourselves as well as the host's undivided attention. The wine was good as well, obviously a requirement. While my friends bought wine, I scored a 2016 Late Harvest "Gew". Yes, "gew". A host referred to a Gewurztraminer as a "gew" and I've been doing that ever since. Yes, it annoys people, and I don't care, like whenever I laugh my head off each time I refer to a Crate & Barrel as "Craate and Baarrel" (long story). If you ever need help pronouncing it, just remember "girls are meaner." Nighthawk is a great place and if you are coming out here for See Ya Later Ranch, another must-see location, making it two, justifying the diversion even more.

That's sixty wineries, not an exaggeration. We ended the trip with 120 bottles acquired. On a rather isolated hill just south of Okanagan Falls sits a family of smaller wineries all worthy of a visit. The first two on this list is Wild Goose and Stags Hollow, which is a fifteen-second walk from each other, literally next door. Thus, a visit to one equates to visiting both. But be aware that these wineries are like Anna Kendrick, petite and an acquired taste. But I adore that actress, and I walked away with several bottles that day. The actual tasting rooms are small, and in total, both visits won't take long, but there is also Liquidity and Noble Ridge nearby, and those wineries are amazing, and it would be crazy to go here without visiting them all, so go do that. About the only thing odd about the location is that because they on a hill, they're basically beside the highway, but you have a winding route to get where you need to go, but it's still worth it.

Synchromesh commits many egregious sins, unforgivable ones in our modern viticulture…read more It dares to offer a simple corrugated steel winery with nary a flamboyant art piece or wasteful water feature. It's tasting lounge is minuscule with no ration given to merchandise or paired picnic-fodder. It doesn't offer the particulars all wineries must list. There are no Cabernet Sauvignons, Pinot Noirs, or Syrahs? Even its name is weird--not taken from its address or a simplistic nearby geographical feature. Synchromesh? Am I getting my car serviced? It can't even be bothered to hire staff, forcing patrons to listen to the winemaker himself ramble on about how great his Rieslings are. That's right, Rieslings...white wine. And not only that, but among the ten wines generally offered, six are Rieslings, limiting options to those wishing the standard fair. My God, I love this place. As for those Rieslings, I bought four. I thought the reds were offered because the owners felt they needed to. This is a perfect example of a winery knowing something well and throwing everything behind it in order to perfect that one impeccable variatel. It's an example sadly so few follow, as such dedication usually comes at the expense of selection. I'd rather have that than a traditional winery just offering the staples. Just because there are six varietals of Riesling does not equate them being identical. Each one caters to a distinct palate, but each is strong in their own regard. I didn't buy the same bottle twice. As for the name, love it. Talking with the owner directly as he poured samples, I'd have it no other way. The small tasting room, focused and without distraction. This is a winery that sells what it knows and it knows Riesling. It's not surprising that Synchromesh makes the best. That's my declaration; they do the best Rieslings in the Okanagan. Do I have a sample size, or am I just being glib? From August 2016 to May 2017, my girlfriend and I visited over 100 BC wineries, so take that what you will. Synchromesh is one not to miss, regardless if you prefer whites or reds. The Rieslings will sway your opinion. If you still dislike it after the visit, then there is no hope--you will always see red. By the way, the day we arrived, it was over 34 degrees outside, but inside was an ice box. Thank you.
