I didn't know Harper's Trail is the first winery in Kamloops, until we drove up to the gate and saw…read morethe sign indicating that. They had a busy summer and was sold out of most of their wine. We were lucky as they would close for the season the next day after our visit, and reopen in April or so. I never knew wineries will close for Fall/Winter. There were 5 types of wine to taste - Sparkling Chardonnay (like champagne - on the dry side) - Field Blend White (I like this, very light) - Silver Mane Block Riesling (not very sweet and is heavier than the Field Blend White, but has a stronger flavor) - Chardonnay (too dry for me, but it has an interesting oak flavor, not a typical Chardonnay) - Pinot Noir (only red available then, very strong and dry for me, but for red wine lover, this will be good) I bought 3 bottles - Field Blend White, Riesling and the Pinot Noir. The $5 tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle of wine. I was told Harper's Trail specialized more in white wines, which could explain why they only have 3 types of reds (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Field Blend Red). I also got the wine flavored jelly and honey. Lovely place.

The shop includes fun trinkets as well as locally-made honey and beeswax products. The tasting was $5 and is refunded if you buy a bottle of wine. The tasting includes 6 wines ranging from whites to reds. It is easy to get to and there are plenty of signs leading the way. If you're driving back to town afterwards, I recommend taking Shuswap Rd for a nice riverside drive. Watch out for cattle-guard.

My husband and I were on a road trip in the summer and decided to try a local winery on our way. We are so glad we stopped here. Beautiful location near Salmon Arm and a wonderful owner to greet us on our arrival. We went through a tasting and ended up with about 4 bottles. The bottle I opened recently that prompted this awesome review was the 2017 Siegerrebe - delicious! Would definitely recommend stopping by to anyone driving through the area.

You were conducting company business on our time as observed by Kirsten and my wife, This is reasons why we were behind schedule. The $100 per person should have had at least a light sandwich meal + beverage included. We feel there should have been more than 3 wineries visited. We do not feel we got full value for $400.

To avoid having the rest of the group wait for us, we told them to go ahead and we'd wait for our ride. We were told by the wine tasting folks that we were welcome to sit in the restaurant and order a glass of wine while we waited (which we were happy to do and pay for). After the group left, we walked into the restaurant, and before we were even able to sit, a waiter came over and said they were not serving food anymore. We clarified it was just to grab a drink (which were informed by their colleague at the wine store was 100% ok, and from whom we just purchased a $90 bottle of wine from) , but he said sorry they are closed (it was 4pm and website says open until 5, and everyone else that we spoke to that WORKS THERE told us to go to restaurant and could wait there), meanwhile there were a bunch of tables that were eating mid-meal. That is despicable service and lack of business awareness. Instead we left and had to wait outside in 38 degC. Ridiculous. Worst service ever. Also we are are brown.
