Your drive up windy roads covered in these amazing green trees (to help protect from wind). Th dross's are covered with marmite. We came across this gorgeous gate, rang in to be let up to the winery, and took the stunning road up. We were early for our tasting and went for a walk on the grounds. 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!

We've been coming to Osoyoos for five years now, and this restaurant has become a cornerstone of…read moreour annual trip -- it's a tradition we don't plan to break anytime soon. Our first year, I went with the steak (which was excellent), and most of our group ordered the seafood linguine and sablefish. But then... one brave soul in our party ordered the grilled cheese with prosciutto and soup. Naturally, we teased him -- who orders a grilled cheese at a place like this? Well, the joke was on us. He had struck gold. That grilled cheese prosciutto sandwich was next-level. Ever since, it's been the reason we come back year after year. Rich, savory, perfectly crisped -- it's comfort food with class. I genuinely look forward to it all year and savor every bite. Pro tip: pair it with a chilled glass of Gewürztraminer. It's an unexpectedly perfect combo that turns a humble sandwich into an unforgettable dining experience. Five stars -- not just for the food, but for the memories this place has helped create.

We had the Cabernet franc to start with. Good wine with a really nice nose, but give it time to breathe as it opens up nicely. Appetizers were all really good and the clams were a must to have.

Service and food quality will certainly bring us back again.

My friend and I ended our 5 day tour tasting wines throughout Okanagan Valley at Oliver/Osoyoos and Road 13 was definitely our favorite for the area. The tasting room is grand - just step beyond the massive front door into their modern, vaulted ceiling tasting room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the vines and lake beyond! We ended up chatting with our pourer about wine (and life) for nearly 2 hours! It was a fun experience and my friend and I both ended up purchasing bottles to go. My favorite wine was their Chenin Blanc (regular and sparkling)! Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Oliver, BC.

They were understaffed and she was absolutely outstanding, she truly cares about the customers and I haven't found that at any of the other wineries are as generous and customer centered (and we have been to quite a few!) We would go back just because of her. This is an experience we will never forget- we are now customers for life!

Tasting is free regardless of whether you buy a bottle or not. There is a fee for icewine though. The host was great. Setting nice. But the best thing about this winery is their prices. They set out to keep prices low and they have done that. The majority of wines cost less than $20/bottle and there are some under $15.00. Highly recommend a visit

I mean, they are good, but when compared to the other wineries in the area, the wines scored lower on my list.

I know charcuterie boards are having a moment and Nighthawk's is by far the best.....nothing else comes close, anywhere. But this review is about their bed & breakfast accommodations. My wife and I stayed there recently while attending a family reunion down at the lake. After all the frenetic family activity at the lake, the solitude and quiet of the tent house were just what the doctor ordered. Enjoying the view of the vineyard and lake from the porch was very relaxing. The location is remote enough that there are no lights to block out the stars. The only sounds at night were the breeze rustling the Ponderosa pines and the owls calling to each other from one side of the valley to the other. And the breakfasts, like the regular bistro fare, were simple, but elegant and exquisite: Fresh pastries, local fruit, and probably the best coffee in the Okanagan. This was how every day should start and end. Christy and Daniel really know how to run an inn. I cannot recommend this place enough, for all the experiences. We will definitely be back.

Nighthawk Vineyards…read more Having visited over 100 wineries in the Okanagan region over the course of a year, I hope my opinion carries some weight by saying Nighthawk Vineyards has the best view in the entire Okanagan. There's a valley with a lake sitting at the base. Vineyards crawling up to the winery. A solemn log house fringing freshly cut grassy hills--look, I got photos, just check those out. It's a narrow margin, I will admit. I mean, when you consider Bench 1775 or Arrowleaf, second place is not that far behind. But at the end, I must admit that Nighthawk takes the top prize. We would have remained longer if we hadn't enjoyed a picnic at See Ya Later Ranch the hour previously or if it hadn't been hotter than the surface of Venus that day. Yes, I am exaggerating; it was like 32 degrees, but I am from Northern Canada, so there. Nighthawk is further out than See Ya Later, so a further diversion down a road you probably were unsure about being on. You certainly cannot drive past it. It's a destination. My group and I had figured since we were out this way, we might as well hit up another one. And you should to--this place is incredible. Admittedly, there is bias--we were the only ones there that time, so we had the grounds to ourselves as well as the host's undivided attention. The wine was good as well, obviously a requirement. While my friends bought wine, I scored a 2016 Late Harvest "Gew". Yes, "gew". A host referred to a Gewurztraminer as a "gew" and I've been doing that ever since. Yes, it annoys people, and I don't care, like whenever I laugh my head off each time I refer to a Crate & Barrel as "Craate and Baarrel" (long story). If you ever need help pronouncing it, just remember "girls are meaner." Nighthawk is a great place and if you are coming out here for See Ya Later Ranch, another must-see location, making it two, justifying the diversion even more.
