The staff at the front desk were friendly and accommodating, we asked for a couple wine glasses and he said they should be in your room before you get there. The only arrived a couple minutes later. We had a beautiful view of the city, it was all lit up for Christmas, just gorgeous. And a cute little balcony with a couple chairs and table. There was also black out blinds which I really appreciated. The climate control was great, and not too loud when it kicked on. The room was tidy and nicely laid out. The bathroom was great with a huge mirror lining one wall. The beds were a bit stiff, but not bad, lots of pillows to choose from and the sheets were alright, a bit loud when you moved but comfortable. One really nice perk was the complementary house coats in the room, that was a nice touch. Not sure if I would want to pay the summer prices for this room, but it was great for our price in the winter.

Great location, right across from the water, great food nearby, an easy 2 minutes walk. The hostess is so friendly, and a cozy room!.....Then, on our second night there (a Saturday) our car died. Of course NOTHING was open, and I had to get back to to work Sunday. The wonderful hostess called the owners son Cole, who works on cars. He offered to take my car and try to fix it for me! Sure enough, around midnight, we get a knock on the door, and there he is with a smile and my car key! I cannot tell you how helpful, and kind they all were! Just today they called to make sure we made it safely home! We will definitely be back, and recommending them to everyone who wants a lovely place to stay in Penticton!

I have visited Hillside twice in the last month, and was lucky enough to have Mackenna both times. She was so attentive, but not overly so and was so well versed in describing the amazing food we ordered. She paired each course with awesome wine, that was spot on! I am amazed at the servers at Hillside, walking all the stairs and carrying heavy food dishes always with a smile and great attitude. Chef Erick came and told us all about the tomahawk steak and the desert board, he prepared for us. I so appreciated meeting the chef of the evening. The seafood chowder was to die for, as well as the elk tartar. I also thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom forager we had to start. I could easily eat there once a week and be happy!!! Thank you Hillside for another wicked season :)

I had the prosciutto with a side of bread and it was to die for. We also tried the pasta and ciabatta sandwich. All was great and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. They even grow their food right on site. For dessert we had the lemon tart and espresso ice cream. The lemon tart was the star of the show, not too tart not too sweet. We were seated quickly and our server was attentive and helpful. There was even a little dog going around to greet the customers!! One thing to note is that they do not take reservations, so I would recommend getting there early to ensure a table. Overall great experience and I can't wait to come back.

I can only imagine what it would be like if BC was not so hot and dry! Got here around noon and there was a few groups of people scattered around enjoying the views. I didn't have any issues finding many different areas to take photos of her day. Lots of shade and areas to sit. I used the bathroom and it was clean. All in all great day for photo shoot!

We found that the gardens work on donations only (don't forget to donate as you drive in). There is plenty of parking, and it's lovely views all around. There are bathrooms and water fountains. We spent some time watching the Kettle Valley Train cross the bridge which was cool. We also spent time just walking around the big open garden spaces. We really liked how there were lots of different seating areas. Some were just benches and others were areas that a group could gather around. Some of the trees in the area were really interesting and large. Overall, this is a great place to let kids run around, spend some time outdoors, or just see some great nature.

That someone looked up and said something like: we're officially closed in about 2-minutes, but since you're already here, I'm sure we can manage a "power-tasting", come with me! Absolutely lovely energy in their new space. Even though it was obviously past closing time, the staff all seemed genuinely happy to be there and willing to assist the handful of customers that were still there, myself and even a couple more late comers. It was such a contrast to the experience I had only a day before when a few friends and I went to Monster Vineyards the day before - they were obviously quite displeased that we'd arrived close to closing and had the gall to ask if we could do a tasting, but I'll get to that review. This experience at Joie Farms was a lovely reminder that not everyone feels like they only should work till the end of their shift and a second more is them doing you a favour. Delicious wine, knowledgeable staff that was enthusiastic and willing to help, and a gorgeous new tasting room - a definite 5/5 experience.

Joie Farm Winery calls it the 'picnique' area, which was aptly named. With picnic blankets and comfortable lawn chairs, and mini tables for you to rest your wine glasses, this was the perfect set up for a relaxing afternoon. We also had a wine tasting at Joie. My favourite Joie rosé was already sold out for the season, but I found a new favourite, the En Famille Gewurztraminer. It was so good that we decided to get a bottle to complement our pizza. They are now closed for the season and will open back up in May. I highly recommend coming here for a relaxing afternoon, just sitting in the picnique area!

It's clever, it's a great story, and they try every day not to live up to the name. Critics agree they're succeeding! The Pinot Gris is a good place to start -- it's affordable at $19.90 and has a great fruit taste, but it's not too simple. Step it up and try their Portfolio ($38.90), a big red blend that hits all the right marks with me. We didn't get the warmest reception, but we appeared in their tasting room right before closing time. The tasting room is modern and minimal with an amazing view of the valley and lake. It's a beautiful place to visit and shouldn't be missed in your Naramata Bench tour!
