“We had such an amazing experience here! Our tasting was completely complimentary, and we were even treated to an extra pour, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Our host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about every wine we tried. You could really tell how passionate he is, and he took the time to answer all of our questions and make the experience fun and enjoyable. His friendly personality made us feel right at home.

“When you need some harmony and balance in life try sipping VinAmité Cellars! Vin (French for wine); Amité (Norman Medieval English for Friend & harmony) you can extract the importance of savouring life with those close to you. This wonderful Canadian wine chapter began as a dream for Ray Coulombe whom enjoyed the Europeanesque ambience of Old Historic Montreal’s lively café and bistro scene sipping dreamy French wines during his advertising career. Beaujolais and darling wife Wendy stole his heart! Looking for a legacy gift for his daughters Catherine and Nathalie and bask in the fruits of his labour- why not bring Beaujolais to BC? Breathing life into existing 5 acre vineyard and creating the winery in 2013 his visions became reality. Winemaker Phil Soo (Noble Ridge, Dirty Laundry, Cassini, Silkscarf, Ruby Blues, Gold Hill, Bonamici) laid the foundation and mentored daughter Catherine who gracefully carried the French inspired focus from first vintage in 2018. A former haute caterer and fashion student, it was natural to pursue the art of winemaking and capture each wondrous season in a bottle. Today’s visit was spectacular! Nathalie’s art adorned the walls, Christmas charm of a Hallmark movie, the gentle aromas of fondue and baking filled the air and pièce de résistance- Catherine’s delicately crafted wines. A portfolio worth collecting and deserving of the finest restaurant menus! Also one of a few whose warmhearted personality, gentile nature and intrepid boldness is defined in each glass. 🏆❤️🍷⚜️ Through life’s triumphs and defeats, may you always be blessed with the comfort of “wine friends”. A “MUST VISIT” for enophiles, wine enthusiasts, foodies, or anyone seeking an authentic wine country experience! Events, rotating ciders, local beer on tap and Catherine’s epicurean delights.“
“This is my favourite winery. I come any time I’m in the area. The wines are delicious. The seating and views are gorgeous. You are treated like family. It’s a fun and feel-good place with great wine!“

“Known for their ice wines! In my opinion, a great spot even for those who don’t enjoy wine too much as ice wine is very sweet and smooth.We opted for their classic ice wine flight for $30 which included the Riesling, Vidal and Sparkling Vidal. The Riesling was definitely my favourite, really enjoyed the sweetness and the apple flavours. They have red and white wines as well.Would try to come back in the summer next time as I imagine it would be gorgeous!Tip - if you have a visa infinite card, sometimes they have deals going on! For us we got buy one get 1 flight!“
“We had an amazing experience at Platinum Bench Winery! Our group of 10 was lucky enough to have Kayla lead our tasting, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so gracious, welcoming, and accommodating to our large group, making everyone feel comfortable and included from the moment we arrived.
Kayla was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought such a fun energy to the tasting. She made the experience memorable with her great passion for the wines. One of the highlights was getting to enjoy Platinum Bench's incredible fresh bread during the tasting. The bread was absolutely delicious and added a unique, fun touch to the experience, pairing perfectly with the wines.
Our entire group had an incredible time, and it was one of the highlights of our weekend. Thank you, Kayla, for making our visit so enjoyable. We can't wait to come back!“

“Joined the Okanagan Cellars wine club which gives an opportunity to taste at 5 wineries. We were lucky to have Black Hills included. In a free tasting. And what a tasting! Started with an amazing Brut. Then Gary tempted us with such amazing wines I could have bought them all. He was a great host and shared info and stories with us. We did treat ourselves to an amazing Note Bene. Will be back next year“
