Back for our yearly pitstop to Rollingdale Winery to see what's new. Tastings are $8.70/person, non-refundable for 5 pours but you can choose from a dozen wines. They were kind enough to open up their new sparkling bottle. - 2022 Flirty 3 - equal blends of gewurtz, pinot gris and riesling. Bought a bottle ($20.99). - 2021 La gauche - smoky but smooth. This was our favourite of the three reds we tried. - 2021 Cabernet franc - 2020 La droite - 2018 Late harvest viognier - not too sweet, good mouth feel. - Blanc de blanc - first time they've made a sparkling pinot blanc. Excellent bubbly. We bought a bottle ($37.99). Too bad they didn't have their blanc de merlot bottled yet. read more

Been back to Rollingdale Winery three years in a row. Tastings are $10.00/person for 5 pours but the fee is no longer waived with a bottle purchase. We shared a tasting. Our pourer (Chantal) was very friendly and informative. - 2022 Akina rosé - marechal foch grapes. Rosé was supposed to be dry, didn't taste so. - 2021 Riesling - smooth, velvety texture on the mouth. Not too sweet. Bought a bottle ($28.61) for home. - 2022 The flirty 3 - blend of three whites. Sweetest of the whites we tried. - 2018 Merlot - light on tannins, a touch smoky. - 2020 Cabernet franc - bolder flavour, but more tannins. Still one of my favourite organic wineries. read more

The best winery ever!!! staff were so friendly and so welcoming to our dogs! The new tasting room is looking very pretty and I am so excited to see it when it's finished! The wine itself is sooo good for the price! definitely a local hidden gem. read more

Great wines and service! Will definitely be coming back when travelling back to Kelowna

I got lost and found this simple winery with no touristy flash. Just a plain and unassuming building, housing a work area, storage ,tasting room and shelving holding their current selections of wines they have for sale. They have about 10 varieties available. They are also Certified Organic. I forgot to take pictures of their other wines but believe me they tasted very good. The staff were very friendly and professional. Tasting of different selections were free if you purchase I had trouble selecting what I tasted as they were all well balanced. Also my wife was with me and I had a budget . I chose the Fort , their version of a port wine and another red wine that contained no tannins that would give me a headache. Next time you are in West Kelowna, drop in and try it for yourself. I am glad I did. read more

I went to this winery on a wine tour of West Kelowna and it was my favourite winery. It's organic and they have done an amazing job of emphasizing the natural flavours of the wine. I wasn't a huge fan of the reds here (though they were definitely not bad) but every other wine here I thought was AMAZING! I loved their fortified wine, their late harvest, their Riesling, their sparkling wine and their rose. Their rose was the best I've probably ever had. It might look small but it's absolutely worth the check out. I wish I lived closer and could go buy wine from here all the time! read more

What's this about walking through a little mud to the wine shop located in a metal barn? Yup, all you la-di-da types need not apply. Thanks to the wonders of google maps, this was our last winery visit before heading back. Turning off onto a dirt road, we weren't sure what to expect. We pulled up to this metal barn to a couple of guys busily operating misc wine-making equipment. With a kind shout welcome from the red head and bearded employee, we entered this magical barn. It was pretty cool to see the presser in action, spitting out all the seeds (I think). The barn contained everything. Barrels, stainless steel tanks and the sorts. Anyhow, we got right down to the tasting. Again, being a small (2 man operation), we were treated to a good laugh-filled service. They have several certified organic wines and everything tasted great. Gotta love wine tasting at 11am. My highlight of course, their ice wines. We sampled their Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and the very unique Portage ice wines. The last being titillating spectacular. Yes I use that word too much. Internationally, this small winery has done damn well, with their 2006 Pinot Gris ice wine scored a perfect 100points in the World championships in Spain. Best put in the red head's words "not bad for a couple of hicks from the boonies". Beating out the mighty French is quite the achievement. And who said gingers don't have souls. read more

Rollingdale Winery - Wineries Near Me - West Kelowna, British Columbia

Our tour guide brought us here and I am so glad he did! Rollingdale is a great example of a small but excellent winery. The focus is definitely on the wine. Their tasting bar is right inside their warehouse and as you go in you walk right by the crush pad. I enjoyed their $30 cab sav the most, but their pinot gris was a less expensive keeper too. Their selection of ice wine and port is also impressive and not to be missed. read more

The more you know about the RD people, the more you know why the wine superior to wine costing twice as much. The taste is proof. The RD story from glacial soil to taste tells you why. Naramata wineries provide the only direct competition. I'm waiting for the perfect RD Spanish Sangria using regional fruit as perfect for pizza and pasta like a great red but not as heavy. read more

Fantastic little winery. I would have never thought to come here if I wasn't on a wine tour with uncorked tour. Rollingdale winery is not your typical grandiose winery like Mission Hill or Quail's gate but their wine is fantastic. I really enjoyed their Cabernet Sauvignon, Foch and ice wine. Unfortunately, they were sold out of their whites so I didn't get a chance to try their white wine. And the gentlemen who talked us through their wine selection was very knowledgeable and witty. I really like getting more information about wine and it is always a good feeling when I leave a winery learning few more things about wine. Needless to say, I left with few bottles of wine and I am looking forward to trying them. read more

Rollingdale wasn't supposed to be a part of our tour, but we had a little extra time and our guide said it wasn't to be missed. He wasn't kidding. Right when we rolled up we were greeted by an enthusiastic and incredibly adorable dog whose demeanor was equally matched by the owner and our tasting provider. I purchased a bottle of the Workingman's Red (because how could I not) but could easily have walked away with a lot more. Everything we tasted was phenomenal (especially the reds and ice wine) and the atmosphere was completely down to earth and had a real family-friendly feel to it, which I loved. Definitely going back for a case. read more

Amazed at the raving 5 star reviews for Rollingdale. Yes, it is off the beaten track and different from most wineries, but in terms of actual wine itself, I wouldn't say 5 stars at all. Love how casual this place is though. The ice wines are stunning and they are very reasonable in terms of price for the amazing quality that you get. Must try the ice wines. Everything else is ... ok. read more

This place is a GEM! It was the first stop on our View and Vines Tour. The wine pourer was super friendly and the Canadian and I are not ice wine drinkers, but we left here with four bottles! They had very delicious wines but the ice wines win hands down. Don't pass up the opportunity to visit this hidden gem! It's well worth taking the side trip off the beaten path for this tasting! read more

Good wine, great service, so so tasting room. Picnic tables and plastic cups don't enhance the quality of the wine.

Well I've never heard of Rollingdale before & I love Okanagan (& Calif) wines. We have stayed in Oliver and done numerous tours and I saty in Kelowna regularly. My husband brought home a bottle of Rollingdale Luminescence (2007) from our local wine store (Highlander in Calgary) Well, smack me down and roll me over - this is my new favourite white for light Summer warm weather drinking !! It's BEATIFUL... Luminescent as it says ... light, crisp but not too fruit forward (I hate apple, par way too fruity stuff) This has a little, dare I say 'effervescent' to it - no not really that, but a light rollover your tongue bubbly... you'll have to taste for yourself.. I am butchering it for you - not bubbly, but lightly magical .. Man, I'll be checking out more of this winery and YES, I do love Desert Hills as well as the reviewer before mentioned... read more

Fantastic wine and service! The only winery where we wanted to take home almost every bottle we tried. Not to mention the outstanding service and information we received from our host for the tasting. Best winery we attended by far in Kelowna! read more

Best wine in the Okanagan. I'm from NorCal, and am fairly picky. I think this one and Cedar Creek are head and shoulders above the rest (though Mission Hill is pretty good, too). This winery is a Winner of an international ice wine competition. I much prefer the Chardonnay and the Merlot (which surprised me, believe me). You'll be served in the unassuming but very functional tasting room by the owner, the wine maker, or maybe the vineyard guy themselves. They're casual here and you can be, too. I doubt you'll be disappointed by the wine. Worth the effort to find them. read more

This is now a regular stop on my way back from big white. Taste some wine, grab a bottle or 2, and grab some glasses and a "drink now" $5 special. This year I will try and make it up during my summer tasting trip. read more

Spent the weekend in west kelowna and ended up at this little winery. Upon entering really didn't know what to think, certainly not fancy. The woman behind the counter was extremely friendly and informative. We asked for a tasting and mentioned we'd only try the whites, she then said that she'd let us try all the ice wines too! There's six!!! They were all amazing!! Unheard of to be able to try that many ice wines! Two out of the three of us bought a bottle and she waved the tasting fee for the three of us. This was our first stop of the day of wine tours and it kinda ruined us cause nothing else compared. Will for sure be going back to rollingdale again. read more

Small, nothing fancy, but great wines and tasting was informative and enjoyable. Worth a quick stop.

We were taken here by our Tour guide as he said he knew the winemaker personally. Upon arriving we were greeted by the Winemaker himself. Rollingdale is an organic Winery, and the Winemaker talked about being the one to personally weed and pick the grapes and for us, it made the Wine that much more special. We purchased the Pinot Blanc, which is absolutely FABULOUS! I am actually searching to see how we can get more shipped to AB! We had a sample of their Ice Wine, and I do not like sweet wine, but was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed them. Rollingdale was a more personable wine tour experience, and we throughly enjoyed our time and the Wine at Rollingdale. We would absolutely recommend Rollingdale family and friends and have already! We will definitely visit Rollingdale again when we in Kelowna next time. read more
