9 Best Wineries near Cawston

“Such a beautiful new addition to the Similkameen Valley! Amazing wine - they are known for their rose, but the whites and reds are incredible too! Daniel and Kristine are so warm, passionate and knowledgeable - their years of experience really shines through :)“

“One of the best choices of wineries in the area! we visited for a girls trip and stopped by a number of wineries, but Vanessa Vineyard had the most friendly staff and warm ambience. Saira the tasting manager took excellent care of us and recommended the most delicious wines I have ever tried. I was able to get a tasty, yet affordable Rosé for my family back at home and they absolutely loved it! Will definitely be stopping at Vanessa’s on my next trip out.“

“Lovely little Winery.
We stopped by for a quick wine tasting and ended up in a nice chat with the girl at the bar.
The different wines were unique and very tasty.
Sadly there is no Cider at the moment.
We really enjoyed our stop here and can highly recommend it.“

“Great experience here chatting with the owner, and exchanging stories.

Nice wine. He even had a variety from special grapes tannet (I think it was spelled).

Highly recommend.

Wonderful scenery right on the river.“

“What a gem! Visited Little Farm Vineyard on 06 Sep 2025. Their wines are a delight. All the wines have their own character. The hostess at the winery was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the wine-making process and the winery.“

“Quant little winery! Fantastic wines! Great selection! In great location east of Keremeos, easy access, lots of parking. Sukh is a great host and is very knowledgeable about wines and wine making. He takes the time to explain each wine and what food to pair it with. Worth a stop anytime going through town. Highly Recommend!“

“Finally got to visit this beautiful winery in the Similkameen valley. This is a definite must stop! Every wine we tasted was outstanding! Their outdoor seating was exceptional. So peaceful and welcoming. Their Rielsing, Gamay noir, Pinot Noir and Syrah were some stand outs for me. The staff are so warm and knowledgeable. This is somewhere I will definitely return!“

“a great place to visit and experience in the Valley ☆☆☆☆☆ superb wines to taste and vines to see -to be a part of the Flock is the real treat!“

“After several moves and a lengthy career with the RCMP Walter and Cristine Makepeace settled in the stunning Similkameen valley. They purchased an organic apple and peach orchard near Cawston in 2005 and after 9 years of hard work transformed it into the family owned Hugging Tree Winery. Son and winemaker Bradley (inspired by his time as a bartender in fine dining restaurants in Whistler) pursued his dream of wine making via Okanagan College Viticulture and Winemaking program to create the small lot craft wines many enjoy. Roll forward to 2019, the family decided to sell the previous lot for 2 beautiful small lots which feature warmer micro-terroirs that could offer a broader portfolio. Bordelaise varietals, Viognier and Syrah are the focus. Quaint country side atmosphere with an incredible valley and mountain backdrop and delicious wines really make this a Similkameen gem! Great to speak with Bradley and see his passion for wine and giving guests an authentic experience! 😎🍷🥂🍇⛰“
