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.

We are normally red drinkers but loved their whites and the reds are amazing. They have a good price range to have some more casual wines and some special occasion wines as well. They have a Zinfandel locally grown that I think is my favorite zin I've ever had before! I also love how mount bouschery is their sister winery so our membership gets us a discount there now. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely go back again next time we are in town!!

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!!

Great wines and one of the best winery views in the area. If you're in Oliver doing wine tasting,…read moreyou MUST come here. Most important part- the wines. They are FANTASTIC! 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!

My husband really likes Eau Vivre wines but every time we drive through Cawston it is not during…read moretheir normal business hours so we were really pleased that they are in the District Wine Village in Oliver. The daughter Manpreet was taking care of the wine tastings while were there and she was so personable, knowledge and helpful. This was one of the nicest wine tasting experiences that we had during our trip to the Okanagan, Osoyoos area. Manpreet told us to make outselves comfortable on the patio and she would bring the wines out to us for our tastings. As each wine was poured Manpreet would describe the wine to us, tell us what foods would be recommended with it and then leave us alone with the wine to enjoy on our own before coming out with the next wine. They were all delicious. After we had finished with our wine tasting we went inside to make our purchases. My husband especially liked the buddaful. There is a tasting fee but it is waived with purchase. It was a wonderful wine tasting and we're glad that we're able to access their wines in Oliver. Go! You'll have one of the best wine tasting experiences. Wonderful wines, knowledgeable patient hostess and reasonable prices. You can't go wrong.

That's sixty wineries, not an exaggeration. We ended the trip with 120 bottles acquired. Recommending a specific location for a wine trip in the Okanagan is like dialing the chevrons on the Stargate. Yeah...wow, I totally went there. I had started thinking about how you need a specific location and then a point of origin, and the connection to that old movie just dribbled to the surface. Regardless, before a suggestion, you need a point of origin. From the North, start with Kelowna. From the South, it's Osoyoos. If only rationed a few days, it comes down to those two, with Naramata the real reward for those dedicating more than a weekend to such a vacation. Thus, the BC branch of Jackson Triggs and Inniskillin (copy-pasted from here on because I know I'm going to get the spelling wrong at some point) is bizarre in that it sits away from basically everywhere. It's the only winery between Oliver and Okanagan Falls, or at least just before you reach the latter. So, unless you're on an extended trip, it's unlikely you'll take the trip. For us, it was an easy stop between larger concentrations of wineries. We left Osoyoos earlier so reached the complex just before its opening. I can see this place being busy during the afternoon, but at this morning, we had the place to ourselves. Unlike many other wineries in the region, Jackson Triggs / Inniskillin feels corporate, not unlike the Sandhill Winery near the dead center of Kelowna. As such, Jackson Triggs / Inniskillin a tad bit more sterile compared to others. With Naramata, you are most likely talking to owners or winemakers. Just around the corner sits the colossal steel drums that don't look dissimilar to the hyperboloid cooling towers of a nuclear power plant (and yes, I had to look that up). Inside, it is mostly dark wood and contrasting ceramic countertops. There is a larger tasting lounge when it gets busy, but for us, it was the standard bar. There was a good selection of wine, though this was a location for the girlfriend, not me. I don't mind the Inniskillin Icewines, but I have always personally placed the Jackson Triggs at just above mediocre. But if traveling between Okanagan Falls and Oliver, this is a great stopover between more distant locations.

Pretentious and over-priced are words that come to mind when I think of my experience tasting here…read more The grounds and views are stunning, and a lot of money seemingly went in to the tasting room, as it does look modern and upscale. I found the staff friendly and talkative, but I wasn't impressed with the wines, typically around $35-45 a bottle, but taste-wise they would be more realistically priced around $20. The owner also boasted about how they would deliver a case across Canada to Ontario for $60. Which is exorbitant considering other wineries nearby only charge $15-20 per case for delivery. I get the feeling that if you have more money than sense, this is the place for you. However, a wise investor could spend their money better.

It's well worth the hassle of calling ahead to make an appointment to taste their wines (and make…read moresure you do call or you'll be disappointed). If you're not from the area, make sure to get directions when you talk to them! You turn off Highway 97 onto Oliver Ranch Road. You go up, down, and curve around a fair ways until you reach a small side road. Then this road winds around the mountain, through the vineyard, turns into a dirt road, keeps winding ... finally you make it to the parking lot for the winery. But the reward! Whoa! It's the most incredible view of Vaseaux Lake and the mountains, which look blue from here hence the name of the winery. That's before you step inside the intimate tasting room and get a tasting with loads of personal attention. Their wines are all delicious. They make small lots of pretty much everything, so the selection really varies as they sell out quickly. Their sparkling brut is amazing and worth the drive out here alone. And at $23.90 a bottle it's not bank-breaking bubble, either. If you can get your hands on any of their striped label Pinot Noir, do it! It goes for around $35. I also love their Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris with fish or in the summer or in the afternoon ... or anytime, really. Make the call. Drive the adventure. Savour the wines and then stock up! Oh, they have a really nice dog, too! :)

Lovely rolling hills with rows of vines curving along the mountainside to capture the sun. The winery is simple in design. Its not like some of the wineries where they merchandise everything from corkscrews to cookbooks. Our decision to come here was a result of enjoying their wines at The Beach House Restaurant in West Van. Although it was 2 years ago that we dined there, the name and product certainly left an impression. We were given a sampling of their latest productions and offerings. They make small batches of a variety of whites and reds and although they could not offer us a sample of any reds, they did have the product to sell us. The prices range from $20 and up, so they were quite reasonable for a good bottle of wine. I believe the product is available for ordering on-line.
