    Potatoes- incredible!
    Lindsay S.

    My family and I have camped down at the campsite down below and always enjoy when we go into the tasting room. Previous years I was not as crazy about there wines but this year I was very impressed and be a fan. I loved the Merlot and Rose. My husband loves the dream catcher but it's too sweet for me. This last visit we went just for some appetizers and a glass of wine on the patio while we waited for our group to arrive. This was the first time getting food here and it was delicious!! We got the burrata on sourdough with roasted butternut squash and the crispy miso potatoes. Both were incredible! They were both so unique but amazing we couldn't put them down! Only con for this place is we all had weird experiences with the host. They take reservations very seriously and wouldn't let two members join our tasting when they were running late and said they had no availability when the place was dead empty. We also had another experience where they almost didn't let us join our family on the patio because we didn't have enough time before our tasting reservation even when we said we weren't ordering anything. Hopefully they loosen up with the unnecessary rules because otherwise it would have been a perfect trip.

    Nk'Mip Cellars (pronounced Inkameep) is an indigenous owned winery in Osoyoos. We booked a premium tasting and every staff member working there were friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the White Meritage and the Red Meritage. Proceeds of the tastings go towards the the Nk'Mip Cultural Centre towards the preservation of the Native Okanagan language.

    Nk'Mip Cellars (pronounced Inkameep) was our first stop on our winery tour. The moment I stepped into the winery, I was impressed; the place was beautiful and bright, and the employee who served us (Lorne, if I remember correctly), was very friendly and informative. The first two samples are complimentary, and an additional four samples are $3. (Wines from their QwAM QwMT Tasting Gallery are $10 to sample.) I tried the Dreamcatcher, Rose, Talon, and the Mer'r'iym. I enjoyed them all, and I had a tough time deciding which one to purchase. In the end, I bought a bottle of the Dreamcatcher, as well as a jar of their Fire and Ice Wine Jelly. (They had an amazing selection of spreads, and if my budget allowed, I would have bought everything!) We didn't have the time or budget to try out the restaurant, but if I ever have the opportunity to visit the area again, I'd love to have lunch there. And of course I will buy more wine!

    This review is only for the wine tasting. And, I truly hate not giving a higher rating. I was really looking forward to a visit and tasting here. However, when you're in a region with lots of wineries to choose from and lots of places with excellent views, the competition is a bit steep. We did the $5 tasting for 5 wines, which was waived with our purchase of their Talon (red wine). We tried their Chardonnay and all 4 red wine options. Nothing of what we tasted was particularly noteworthy or worth trying again. Even as we polished off the bottle of Talon we purchased his evening, I was mostly relieved. It wasn't either smooth or bold, but rather a bit bitter and sharp. In light of the other positive reviews of Nk'Mip, it seems that we really missed out on what's special about this place, but unfortunately I doubt we'll return anytime soon for a second visit.

    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 for free. There are a few that you have to anti-up $2 for. Paying the $3 to taste their Qwam Qwmt Riesling Icewine is worth it, even if you can't afford a $60 375-ml bottle. Qwam Qwmt is their higher line of wines ($24.99 to $34.99). The regular winemaker series($17.99-$22.99) comprises most of their tasting line up. The 2007 Riesling ($18.99) was our favourite. It's sweet, yet there's a balancing acidity that makes it such a reward to sip. There's some shopping to be done here -- in addition to their wines for sale, there is also a selection of jewellery, art, books, wine accessories, glassware and other related products. The Osoyoos Indian Band has a lot going on in very close proximity to the wine shop. In addition to the patio restaurant, there's the Pasa Tempo restaurant, the suites, a golf course, the Desert centre, and just down the street is the campsite and riding stables.

    Sadly I am underage... but there was beautiful artwork displayed, and the wine tour was beautiful and very in depth. The tour guid (Sharon I believe her name was) went into lots of detail about everything and all of the very important stages of wine making and showed us how everything was done. And yes, there was wine tasting!

    Nk'Mip Cellars is a joint project between the Osoyoos Indian Band and Vincor International and enjoys the prestige that comes with being North America's first Aboriginally owned and operated winery. The winery site looks over Lake Osoyoos and is located in what remains of the Pocket Desert- the only desert in Canada. The winery building's design is influenced by aboriginal culture and the desert locale, and the interior decor features works by local band artisans as well as numerous displays that recount the evolution of the winery and vineyards. Visitors may enjoy lunch on the winery's front patio while taking in the view of intermingling desert and vineyards on the shores of Lake Osoyoos. Recently completed as part of the Nk'Mip development project, is Sonora Dunes, a nine-hole golf course, and Nk'mip Campground/RV Park. Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa is soon to be completed along with a Desert and Heritage Centre. Visitors may also explore the Pocket Desert. Wines aside, the buildings and amenities alone demonstrate the great commercial presence of this winery and make for an interesting visit. The tasting room at Nk'Mip is spacious, and has two tasting bars. During busier months be prepared for some line-ups. Visitors may also browse some of the displays and local artwork, clothing, and other accessories for sale while they wait. Tastings are $2.00 each for wines from the Qwam Qwmt series. Last Word : The events at Nk'Mip are well worth planning ahead for - especially the Traditional Salmon Feast.

    Wonderful, intimate patio restaurant overlooking the valley. My favourite. Compliments to the staff (including Natalie) and chef.
