“This is an excellent coffee shop that has the best banana bread in the South Okanagan hands down. Owner is awesome and the atmosphere is great and alway feel welcome walking in the door.”
“A truly delicious experience unlike anything in the Okanagan. This is a groundbreaking approach to locally sourced food and hospitality. You will learn about each course and come to appreciate the preparation. Chris Van Hooydonk and staff have created the future of specialty dining and everyone will have their appetite satiated. People in the food industry will marvel! Bring a notepad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“What a fantastic experience! Hester Creek is not just a winery or a restaurant or overnight accommodations, it is an experience. The views are simply stunning and from the moment we arrived we were treated so well. Usually you'd be lucky to have one memorable interaction but between Melissa's warm welcome at the Villa, Susan's knowledge and personality shining through at our tasting, and Kristi's attentive service at dinner at Terrafina, the whole place is obviously staffed up with gems. What an absolute rockstar Kristi is, calmly motoring around the restaurant with a smile on her face the whole time. The food was excellent at both the restaurant and breakfast on our peaceful patio in the morning. So classy but not at all pretentious. We are delighted to be here and we will be back!”
“?? I'll tell you about TacoRiendo Mexican Cantina! Definitely one of the best places to eat and have a beer in the entire region. I recommend this restaurant for its impeccable service, a great team of people who work there, its exquisite food and, of course, the good music that perfectly accompanies the experience. I found out about this restaurant about 2 years ago when I first went to work at Oliver's. Since then, every time I have to travel to the South Okanagan for work, I forget the hours of driving from Kelowna, just thinking about the experience I will have at TacoRiendo.??Let me tell you about TacoRiendo Mexican Cantina!

“We had an absolutely amazing time and the food was almost as amazing as our server. She was the most amazing host and made our visit worth every penny. 100% going back as many times as we visit the area. Food was incredible too!!”
“This is our number one winery that we bring all our guests to. Elena made this last visit our best one ever. She is so knowledgeable and so entertaining and of course the wines all speak for themselves. An absolute must!”
“I went to this craft winery with a group on April 9th /2024. I loved the ciders and thought this would be a great place for families as there are animals, gardens, and lots outdoor space for kids to explore.”
“While we lived near Gehringer, our Vintage Car Club , my Golfing Buddies& Touristy Friends frequented this Winery. When I moved to Saskatoon the Winery shipped cases of Wine to me, especially enjoyed by my Prairie CuZZins.Gewurtz-Schönberg & Ehrenfelser continue to be my favorites.”
“Great atmosphere - feels like you've left Canada and sat down for dinner in Europe! The service was excellent, we had Kristi and she is amazing at what she does. The food was all delicious, the wine pairings were perfect, and the Affogato for dessert was the caffeinated icing on the cake. Highly recommend stopping in for dinner even if you're not staying at the winery!”
“Came up here on the Canada long weekend and enjoyed a concert with some tasty food and thirst quenching wine.They had a local musician do a set who was really good and they sold their wine and some charcuterie boxes. Because it was so hot we had some of their refreshing Harvest Rose, which really hit the spot!The charcuterie box had some nice meats & cheeses, fresh local cherries, some olives and a nice jelly to spread on the crispy crackers. It was delicious and a great way to spend the afternoon!”
“This was our second time for dinner and the food was amazing but more so our server Shay went beyond our expectations. She was very attentive and made sure we had a great time. From the time we walked in and the hostess was cheerful and inviting to the food and service. We will definitely be back.”
“I have this thing where I like to eat food. Problematic if you want to lose weight, but healthy people d*e earlier than expected, too. I wish they would have eaten the food here, they'd have been happier for it.I want to give kudos to the delivery driver specifically. While the food is great and the service is awesome, the guy delivering the pizzas is molto bene.”
“We were visiting family in Penticton for my birthday weekend. We had the privilege of stopping by wards for the absolute BEST fries I have ever had!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Chef Ian!!! My mouth will never forget the crispy potatoes with the perfect amount of pepper, seasoning and phenomenal pillowy grated parmesan cheese!! You will be a regular stop for us in the future!”
“This place has the best clam chowder in Canada! We are east coast chowder snobs and we would put this against any chowder at Menemsha. The fish & chips are delish. Service with a smile. I always wave at the chef and give a ?. They need to franchise to several locations. Yum! A pleasant surprise in the Okanagan!”
“While on our September trip to the Desert wine country area near Penticton , we chose to enjoy a personalized wine tasting at Maverick Estate Winery to taste some of their award winning wines…that 45 minutes experience was a pure delight..the staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and very open to our questions..it was mentioned by the staff that minimal intervention was a goal so the natural flavour of their wines could be enjoyed..our purchase was made with a very positive anticipation of sharing with friends when we arrive back in Vancouver..”
