He had such a great knowledge about the farming process and spoke in great detail of how the grapes are grown. We learned so much!

We'll be back for more.

Don't get me wrong, the wine is exquisite but the staff is snobby and not friendly. During the…read moreexperience, I felt severely judged and unwelcome at this establishment. I come to Oliver/Osoyoos, 2-3x per summer and absolutely love the wine served in this region, Checkmate is the only winery where I feel the guests are unwelcomed unless wine club members.

Personalized tasting experience…read more The best part about a wine tasting at Road 13 is that they individually curate the experience to suit your preferences. My friend and I ended our 5 day tour tasting wines throughout Okanagan Valley at Oliver/Osoyoos and Road 13 was definitely our favorite for the area. The tasting room is grand - just step beyond the massive front door into their modern, vaulted ceiling tasting room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the vines and lake beyond! We ended up chatting with our pourer about wine (and life) for nearly 2 hours! It was a fun experience and my friend and I both ended up purchasing bottles to go. My favorite wine was their Chenin Blanc (regular and sparkling)! Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Oliver, BC.

My husband and I had one of the best experiences we have ever had at this winery. Not only was it…read morecomfortable with incredible wines and beautiful scenery but outstanding customer service as well. We were greeted by Sarah who was incredibly kind and helpful. They were understaffed and she was absolutely outstanding, she truly cares about the customers and I haven't found that at any of the other wineries are as generous and customer centered (and we have been to quite a few!) We would go back just because of her. This is an experience we will never forget- we are now customers for life!

If you enjoy sweeter, fruit-forward wines, this place is a must-visit. They are best known for their dessert wines, and it was fascinating to learn that it takes a full 4 pounds of fruit to make just one of those skinny bottles. Their most unique offering has to be "The Flame". A dessert wine with a real jalapeño pepper inside the bottle! My personal favorite was the apricot-peach wine, which was delightfully sweet and packed with flavor. Great energy, amazing wines, and a memorable visit overall. Highly recommend stopping by!

The audience could not stop laughing as if we were all at a comedy show. She gave explanation of each wine we tasted while her partner poured the samples. In total, we were able to taste 12 out of the 13 wines that the winery produced. We started on white wines, moved onto reds, and finished with dessert wines. Honestly, everything was absolutely delicious. If I lived closer, I would be here regularly and store a bunch of their bottles in my pantry. On this trip, I bought a bottle each of the 2022 Sage Grand Reserve, 202 The Pearle, 2020 Blueberry, and 2022 The Flame. The whole experience was amazing, from the gorgeous vineyard to the delicious wine tasting.

They have a Zinfandel locally grown that I think is my favorite zin I've ever had before!

If you are looking for a traditional Italian meal, you must try Terrafina at Hester Creek. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. We truly enjoy every meal here.

There is a great, equally large summer patio. The wines are outstanding. This is a must visit restaurant if you are in the area.

Your drive up windy roads covered in these amazing green trees (to help protect from wind). Th dross's are covered with marmite. We came across this gorgeous gate, rang in to be let up to the winery, and took the stunning road up. We were early for our tasting and went for a walk on the grounds. The whole place is covered with vines, even on the ridges. The place overlooks Oliver and the view is breathtaking. We did a private wine tasting and the women (I wish I remembered her name) was so lovely and engaged us in a lot of conversation and history. We tried so many beautiful wines and we ended up walking away with 20 bottles! And the Jean Marc was very lovely! It was such an exceptional experience. 100% will repeat!!

Complex, delicious flavors that are good to drink now, and a few that are going to be absolutely over the top good in a couple years. My husband and I routinely drive from Seattle to taste and buy wine in the Osoyoos and Oliver because we love the wines and love the region. We tried Culmina on a whim, and frankly, with our limited time on a weekend trip, we almost didn't go because we wanted to be sure we only went to places that we liked. I am SO glad we decided to branch out. You can tell a lot of thought and planning went in to these wines, and it really shows in the quality and taste. They wines are so flavorful and nicely balanced. The tasting room is lovely, and the view is incredible! We walked in and happened to time our visit well, but I can see how this place would be super busy during peak tourist, so I'll definitely be making a reservation in the future. The tasting experience is very in-depth and informative; you get the history and vision of each wine (although, the story of the winery before tasting could be about 40% shorter, and it would be perfect). If you haven't been here- GO HERE! I can't wait to come back!
