They're a certified organic winery that specializes in white wines. Tasting fee is a non-refundable $10.00/person (for 6 pours). They only offer tastings outside where you can sit at one of their many patio tables. Our pourer was very sweet and friendly. - 2021 Muscat ottonel - this was unique. - 2021 Solstice - a blend of four white wine grape. - 2021 Kerner - 2021 Riesling - our favourite from the wines we tasted. The "sweetest" of the bunch. Riesling was well balanced and crisp. - 2021 Rosé - notes of strawberry and cream. They use pinot noir grapes for their rosé. - 2021 Moscato frizzante - the bubbly version of their muscat ottonel. All their white wine offerings are dry and very low in sugar. Check out SummerGate if you're a fan of organic, dry white wines. 3.5 stars.

What a cute winery and cidery! We did a tasting of five wines and five ciders and loved everything…read morewe tried! The Riesling and Gewurtztraminer was tasty to try on a cold day and the ciders all had unique, special tastes. Some dry, some sweet. Each cider was a hit for our varying pallets. Our wine sommeliers were super helpful and friendly! We bought some cider and wine to take home but also cracked some cold cans they had available open and drank right in the orchard. It was a splendid experience and just what I needed for my weekend in Kelowna!

Staff was kind enough to squeeze us in before a big group's arrival. Tasting fee is $5.00/person and includes five pours. Fee is waived with a purchase. - InfiniTea tropical green tea - hint of coconut. - InfiniTea strawberry kiwi - reminded B of strawberry kiwi fruitopia. We liked their tea infused ciders the most and bought a variety pack ($11.55 for 4) for home. - Wards dry hopped cider - didn't like this one much. Not much depth or flavour. - Ginger cider - very light on the ginger flavour but at least they use fresh ginger. - Harvest spiced cider - you can drink this hot or cold. I liked this one more than the ginger. - Mimosa cider - tasted some orange notes. The packaging is eye catching. Wards ciders were run of the mill. Interesting that you can find their cans cheaper in town at Superstore than at their actual facility.

Granted, I'm sure it looks different when shops are open and everyone isn't at home self-isolating. My partner had heard good things about this brewery so we decided to check it out on a rainy day. There wasn't anyone there when we arrived so we waited around for a few minutes and the owner (I think?) appeared from the back. He was friendly and told us about the beers available for tasting. There was 8 on the board so we decided to get 2 flights (4 glasses per flight). He even threw in a free one for us of a beer blend that wasn't on the menu *win!* We thoroughly enjoyed almost all the beers we tried. They were easy to drink but still had depth and complex flavour profiles. I especially liked the Paradise Coconut Hopfenweisse - it was so unique. The brewery has a homey feel, with board games and adventure magazines on the side for customers. I think they had some snacks available (we didn't get any) but there's no hot food served. If you're looking for an unpretentious, no-fuss brewery with excellent service and great beer, check out Tin Whistle!

We couldn't pass up the chance to check them out, so were happy to see them open on a Saturday at 11:30am. It's never too early for a good dark beer, is it? We shared a flight of 4 beers for $5 and especially enjoyed the Midnight Peach and Killer Bee. We left with 2 of each--each priced at $5/bottle. It was interesting that no other patrons were there during the time we were and that no previous reviews have been done. The beers are definitely noteworthy, so I hope they will get more recognition soon! There certainly were a number of games available to play, so with more time and more friends we would've stayed a bit longer.

We got 2 flights, with our usual ones we want to try. Saisons, Hazy IPAs, stouts, sours, etc. but one that caught my eye that we normally don't go for was the Okadaze that is an apricot and pinot gris juice wheat ale. BOY! Was this delicious. Through our drinks, all the nachos around me were making me pretty hungry. I remember seeing a 5 spice ribs with cumin slaw and thinking we've got to try that. It tasted exactly as it sounded. The ribs were tender and the slaw had a great tang and kick to it. We walked out of there with a pack of the Okadaze because it was just so easy to drink. The space was huge inside and the patio outside also seated a lot of people. The can designs were also really beautiful. Can't wait to go back this summer!

You had to pre buy your wine tasting before entering the tasting room, however tasting was only $6 so not bad. We got to taste 5 wines and there were a lot of choices for white wine.

The lady who cashed us out was wonderful, friendly and told us about their wine points and we got $5 off our purchase for signing up. Great wine, just a bit busy and touristy for me.

Probably my favorite wines we tasted during our vacation. The gentleman who lead us through our tasting was lovely. We didn't feel rushed and we loved that the tasting room overlooked the vineyard.

The wine tasting was good and we did end up buying a bottle but it was the customer service that was amazing. We thought we left our credit card at one of the earlier wineries and the lady doing the tasting was about to be on the phone to help asap. We did find it but I was impressed how fast and friendly the help was!! Also if you buy a bottle you get your flight cost removed from it. They have a tasting teaching you how to pair wines as well, which could be cool! Place is worth a stop!!
