We visited here twice during our trip to Penticton and, both times, the folks who worked here were so friendly and helpful. They had what we wanted - and more! - and the prices were comparable to anywhere else. They had a well-stocked cold room, and tons of ciders and wines. (It's cool to recognize so many of the wine labels as being locally grown here in this area! You could visit most of these vineyards and go for tastings. We love that!). We liked how pristine clean this store was, how well laid-out it was, and also that they have extended hours of operation (9am-10 pm every day). And since it's in a strip mall, there's lots of parking, right by the door (which is handy if you have a heavy load of bottles or cases you purchased!). Note: the website for this store is angryotterliquor.crs (for some reason, Yelp doesn't recognize this website. But it's legit!).

The Vault Liquor Merchants is hands-down my favourite spot in Penticton for anything wine, beer, or…read morespirits. It's locally owned, and you can feel that pride the moment you walk in--the staff actually know their products and are always happy to make a recommendation that fits exactly what you're looking for. Their selection is fantastic, with tons of unique finds you won't see in the big-box stores. Whether you're picking up a local Okanagan bottle or looking to try something new, they've got you covered. A great local business with great people behind it. Highly recommend!

Cannery (I think?) themed brewery in downtown Penticton…read more Parking is available on the street. The place is basically a decorated warehouse. High ceilings, and the paintings on the wall give it a bit of a gallery feel. Staff are friendly. No complaints. As of my visit, there were 11 brews. Most are light to medium. Beers were tasty and hit the spot. Buddy and I also got free popcorn with our beer purchase. Bonus. Who doesn't like popcorn. This place does have a decent food selection as well, though I didn't try. Worth checking out if one is thirsty.

Cannery has no food menu to speak of, great if you only want beer, but a food choice would be nice.read more

First off, there's a $5 tasting fee but it's waived with purchase. The juice is amazing, also…read morethey have slushies, which I am always a fan of. The owner does the tastings and is super nice and informative. There were some different cider options, including a mint one. A small, but curated selection of merch is also available. I appreciated hoe they incorporated the history and heritage of the property and town into this cider. It was well done despite having limited space indoors.

Second day of our trip consisted of another jam packed list of places to try. Millionaires' Row…read moreCider Co. was first up on our list as a friend recommended it to us. It's run by a husband-wife combo and located a short drive away from Dominion Cider. We dropped in on a Saturday morning (around 10:30am) and were the first customers to arrive. Service is friendly and they give you the full spiel/background of how their name come about (if you're into that). Cider tastings are $5.00/person but waived if you buy a bottle. They were completely sold out of their makin' a mint (mint, lemon and hibiscus) flavour. - Tasting - we were able to try three flavours. High n' dry is just as you'd expect. Hop on board was a touch hoppy. Modern miracle was everyone's winner from the bunch. - 4-Pack briefcase ($29.95) - we went with three modern miracle's and one hop on board bottle. It's slightly cheaper buying the briefcase compared to individually ($8.49). Always nice to see a new cidery open up but MRCC's flavours didn't enthral us.

We came for the beers and they were good. Sadly not much fruity selections (possibly due to…read morechanging of seasons). The portions were small and taco selections were limited. I requested for no cilantro on the ones where sauces were not premade. But ended up getting sprinkles on the ones I had said no to. The server (looked like a middle aged mom) didn't give off an attentive customer service vibe. We waited close to an hour before food came. She only advised food will be late. Normally places provide some appies as complementary. Not this one. Some folks at the party ordered more drinks as we were asked about any more drinks? And didn't want to be rude. I'm pretty sure I won't be coming back. Not my kinda pub.

My girlfriend and I were on vacation through Okanagan wine country. Over six days, we visited…read moresixty wineries. You can follow our various locations with this disclaimer. 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.

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. Guests can also plan ahead for a picnic on the property with a purchase of a bottle. 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. You'll definitely want to leave with a bottle or two, and your $10 tasting fee goes toward your purchase. Free parking in the lot on site.

Old school car themed brewery in downtown Penticton. Think Herbie…read more Parking is available on the street. The interior has that gritty blue collar feel. Very well done. Feels like a gas station from the 1960s. They have a raised stage, which I imagine hosts live music on certain nights. Staff are friendly. No complaints.
