We continue to be members of Road 13 due to the phenomenal service of Leah. We were there a couple times in August and her knowledge, experience and enthusiasm bubbled up the energy on the whole table. She takes the time to teach, get to know us and tell us how we can pair wines when we return home. The wines are excellent, some of our very favourite in the area. Cheers to Leah and Road 13. Best winery!

A Premier Wine Tasting at Road 13 Winery
Our visit to Road 13 Winery in Oliver on Friday, August 5, 2025 was nothing short of exceptional, offering not only a superb tasting experience but also some of the most stunning views in the Okanagan Valley. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the manager, Sarah, whose welcoming demeanor set a wonderful tone for our afternoon. She expertly guided us to a private corner window seat, which offered a breathtaking, panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards and the rolling valley below. It was the perfect spot to begin our tasting journey.
Our Wine Ambassador for the day, Jackson, truly made the experience memorable. His passion for the Road 13 offerings was infectious, and he captivated us with his deep knowledge and engaging storytelling about each vintage. The curated wine selections were a testament to the winery's commitment to quality, and the entire experience felt like a fantastic value, a rare combination of top-tier service and exceptional wines at a great price. As a result, we couldn't resist leaving with a bottle of the 2020 John Oliver 5th Element Syrah, a perfect souvenir to relive the experience at home.
As a pleasant surprise, we were lucky enough to visit during a special event featuring The Wienery food truck. The collaboration between the winery and the food truck was a highlight, as it allowed us to enjoy our gourmet hot dogs right in the tasting room. This unique pairing enhanced the relaxed atmosphere and added a fun, unexpected bonus to our day.
Our visit to Road 13 Winery was a masterclass in hospitality and a must-do for any wine lover. We can't wait to return.

We stopped in after a tasting at Checkmate, and had 45 to kill. We had a bar tasting with Leah , who was just great. Talked about the wines in an easy way, poured some delicious wine, gave us a brief history on the winery and the plans for the future of the winery Great price point on wines, from every day drinkers to cellar-able higher end bottles Definitely will stop in again next time we are in the area and will recommend friends to stop and try aswell Thanks for a great hour

We had the most incredible experience at Road 13 Winery with Leah, Lead Wine Ambassador. Our tasting in the cave was nothing short of magical — the atmosphere was stunning, intimate, and truly memorable. The charcuterie board was beautifully presented and paired perfectly with the sensational wines. Leah’s depth of knowledge, warmth, and easy conversational style made the experience both informative and fun. She has a gift for making you feel welcome while guiding you through an unforgettable tasting journey. I’ve visited this winery 3 years in a row and am always impressed! Thank you again, for another memorable year! Cheers!!

When your in Oliver good wine is everywhere but I highly recommend Road 13! First off the views when you pull in are next to none. We had the pleasure of coming in for a tasting this past Saturday with no reservation and we had the best experience ever. Our Wine Ambassador Giselle was so friendly and could not have been more knowledgeable about all the wines they produce. She truly made the experience memorable and we spent a couple hours relaxing, tasting and just enjoying the views and atmosphere. Although we did not try any of the charcuterie boards they offer, it was not a hard decision to sign up for their wine club. There are so many amazing Okanagan Vineyards to choose from and coming from BC I appreciate them all but Road 13 ranks among the best :)

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Road 13 Winery, all thanks to Giselle. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. Her energy is warm, genuine and effortlessly engaging. She walked us through the tasting with so much knowledge and passion that every sip felt like part of a story. You can tell she loves what she does and it makes the entire experience unforgettable. She even gave us personalized recommendations based on our preferences and they were spot on. Giselle is a true gem and the kind of person who makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re visiting Road 13, ask for her, you won’t regret it.

On a recent visit to the Okanagan from Ontario, my friends and I were recommended to go wine tasting at road 13! We were not disappointed! To start, the view from the wall to wall, floor to ceiling windows was breath taking! We had a view of the vineyard and mountains! I took many photos!! Our hostess was fantastic! Leah was very professional and friendly! As she poured each wine to taste, she described the wine in detail! My fave was the John Oliver 5th element! I purchased some to bring home to Ontario! My friends enjoyed the bubbly wine and the rosès! Leah brought us a small charcuterie to nibble on as we sampled the different wines. It was a lovely afternoon! We checked out their sweet patio too! It was full of other wine tasters, but what a beautiful setting and set up for enjoying wine and the view! Thank you Leah for making this experience so fun for me and my friends! You made us feel at home and we left with more knowledge than when we came! Cheers!

Located on the historic Golden Mile Bench in Oliver, BC with newly renovated tasting room and outdoor deck you won’t be disappointed. The views are simply incredible and the wine is even more incredible. Princess Leah the beautiful wine ambassador will gladly share their story of each wine brought to your table. My favourite whites are Chenin Blanc & Viognier. I love their wines so much I became a member!!
