We went for the "Taste Of Okanagan Experience" which samples from five local sister wineries; a mix of white, red and sparkling from Sandhill, as well as Black Hills Estate, Gray Monk Estate, Red Rooster and Tinhorn Creek. For $25 you get the tiniest of pours from each, which then gives you $10 towards any bottles purchased. Although we've purchased from some of these wineries previously, none that we sampled in the showroom impressed us enough to make us want to buy. Particularly for the prices charged. $50 and up for what is at best a $20 tasting wine. There is a limited food menu if you want to order an actual glass of wine and some snacks, but it is mostly seafood, and again nothing appealed to either of us.

Last-Minute Wine Tasting? No Problem!…read more Stopped by around 4:45 PM, knowing they close at 5, but I still wanted to check the place out. Despite the late arrival, the reception was incredibly welcoming--they even asked if I'd like to do a wine tasting! I mentioned that they were closing soon, but they encouraged me to stay and enjoy since there were still other guests tasting. Even though it was a last-minute visit, I never felt rushed. Instead of quickly pouring whatever was available, they asked what type of tasting I preferred--white, red, or the happy hour selection. A nice touch! Five minutes before closing, they were still welcoming new guests, which made me feel much less guilty about showing up late. The Wine Experience Chardonnay - I'm picky about Chardonnay, but this one was surprisingly buttery and smooth. A great choice for both beginners and experienced wine lovers exploring new Chardonnay profiles. Rosé - A perfect Happy Hour pick! Light, fruity, and refreshing--exactly what I needed to unwind after a long day. Cabernet Merlot - A touch spicy and slightly chewy. If you love Cabernet with good tannins but not too overpowering, this is a great option. Location & Atmosphere Unfortunately, I was too late to try the food, but the location is super convenient--right in downtown with its own parking lot (which is a huge plus for wine tasting in the city!). No stress about parking! If you're with a group, this spot is even better because after wine tasting, you can easily switch things up--there are breweries nearby, so everyone can split off based on their drink preference. I'll definitely be back to try the food and fully experience the chill, hangout vibes. Can't wait for round two!

The winery features unique 3D artwork, with designs printed directly onto the wine bottles, making them feel extra special. There's also an art gallery on-site that shares the story behind each piece, explaining how the art is created.

They also welcome you even you are just visiting and want to enjoy the 3D art without getting any wine. As a fun bonus, you'll be given 3D glasses to fully experience the immersive part of the artwork. It's a great combination of wine and art!

We tried the Rosé, Woops 2022, Gewurztraminer, Wolf Song, and Phoenix. Our most favorite was Woops 2022, then, Phoenix which we purchased. The Woops wine label is designed upside down, which is really fun, and it tastes great too. Phoenix was full-bodied and tasted really good. I also liked the Gewurztraminer for its well-balanced fruit flavors and sweetness, and the Wolf Song for its buttery taste. We also purchased their original wine glass. This winery is really fun, and I will definitely visit again.

The tasting itself was alright. Some wines were nicer than others. Unfortunately, the 2023 frost hurt a lot of their crops so their wines were maximizing blends from grapes of other regions. I don't think those were as good. Highly recommend trying some of the reserves and 'higher tier' wines here. The Foch is unique and I really enjoyed their chardonnay.

Unfortunately, we couldn't visit the kitchen due to the slow season, but the pyramid and gift store are worth checking out. The winery itself is on the older side, and they've kept much of the decor vintage, adding to its charm. The champagne glasses are perfect for photos -- definitely Instagram-worthy! As for the pyramid, it's a bit on the sketchy side. It's a self-guided tour, but the lights are off, and the only sound is calming meditation music playing through the speakers. It creates a mysterious vibe, though I'm not entirely sure why it feels so... intriguing. Definitely a unique experience, with a mix of history, ambiance, and a little mystery.

He was super knowledgeable and friendly. Never tried to sell us any of the wines. He was just lovely to chat with, to learn more about Summerhill's wine and property. Thank you for a pleasant experience, Daniel! Of all the wine tastings I did over the weekend, these ones were pretty good. I don't buy into the whole pyramid structure and however they use that in their winemaking process. However, I will agree that they make really good reds and dessert wines. The property itself was beautiful. They had a really nice spot overlooking the valley. Unfortunately, the restaurant looked a bit dated from what I could see in the the tasting room.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here on a Wednesday morning before we headed back to Calgary and fortunately on Wednesdays they do tours along with a tasting. The tour was going over the winery and how the lake effect helps keep the grapes cool during the summer and warm during the winter. We also got to walk around the property and see the fruit blossom. After the tour (~30 mins), we headed to the patio to enjoy a 5 pour tasting that included a riesling, cab franc, pinot noir, rose and a syrah. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, for two tastings it was $30 CAD and if you make a bottle purchase, you get $5 off the tasting. Will be back to try more of their rieslings!

My biggest fumble was not taking a picture of the tomato tart that was honestly the highlight of the entire meal. Major kudos to the team behind this dish. We didn't go for the Chef's Tasting menu but were perfectly content with the Terrace Dining menu. Service was impeccable and we felt extremely welcomed. Only downside to the experience was the fact that the wines weren't that amazing. Mostly because of the deep freeze that forced wineries to import from elsewhere. Ice wine from Mission Hill is still amazing. Still, the food, service, and ambience made up for this small hiccup! Will most definitely be back and Mission Hill will be our go-to recommendation spot for our friends!

Managed to check in the bottle within my bag but now the bag itself had to get delayed, bottle might even be broken for all I know!
