“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..“
“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.“
“You can skip all the reviews (even this one) and just go here. The wine is incredible, they serve a variety of local beverages, the atmosphere is authentic and welcoming, but most importantly, the staff and owner(s) are outstanding. I managed to show up just as their trivia night was ramping up, and the place was packed. Immediately, Catherine (the winemaker and I think owner) recognized that I was a little overwhelmed and brought my wife and I to a more open space behind the bar to do a tasting. She made great conversation, asked where we were from, how our trip to wine country was going, and overall just made us feel like old friends. Even when I admitted to not knowing anything about wine, she told me the most important thing was if I liked the taste. I ended up buying a Gamay Noir and their Compass blend, both of which were fantastic, and Catherine even gave us a box to start our haul for our trip. Go to vinAmité and experience the authenticity of their name. Great wine and friendship abound.“
“We were driving down and saw the sign for nostalgia wine, it grabbed our attention and we decided to take a detour and check it out. We were the only people there and were welcomed back Jack. We ended up spending over 30 minutes there just chatting up with Jack about so many things, their adventures out to the west coast and feeling nostalgic about life in Ontario. The wine was really nice and Jack gave us customized wine tasting based on our preference, because my husband prefers white wine over red. Thank you Jack, it was truely one of our favourite part of our day and if you’re ever in Oliver, you should definitely check them out ??“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Intersection Winery and it was an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make my partner's birthday celebration extra special. They were very accommodating to our large group and even adapted to unexpected changes in our party size. Not only was the wine exceptional, but the service was top-notch. Communication was prompt and professional, making the planning process a breeze. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend Intersection Winery to anyone looking for a memorable wine tasting experience.“
“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!“
“Colin's exceptional service at the winery in the Okanagan surpassed all expectations. With a wealth of knowledge and a passion for the vineyard, she guided us through a truly enchanting experience. Her attention to detail and warm hospitality made our visit unforgettable. A true ambassador for the winery – Colin's service was nothing short of outstanding.“
“Bartier Bros. is our go-to winery in summer for their flights with cheese pairings, but for a real treat, join their wine club for the “pick-up parties.” The staff is amazing, and somehow we always end up going home with more than our membership wines ? Thank you all for another fantastic year (and party)!“
“We had a delightful experience wine tasting at Stoneboat winery. We booked a seated garden tasting. Blake was our amazing host for our tasting- he is also the tasting room manager, he is clearly passionate about wine and passionate about Stoneboat wines! Our experience was not only tasty but very educational. Blake was easy to talk and engaged our many questions. As we lingered finishing our ice wine Andrew the vineyard manager ( I believe?!) stopped to chat he too was so engaging, passionate about their wines and willingly spent time educating us on more aspects of the wine making industry. Such a great experience! Definitely recommend a visit! And definitely take home so wine!“
“This is an amazing new winery to the valley. Valerio is professional, knowledgeable and so very personable. The wines all speak for themselves. Elegant, vibrant and fantastic art on each bottle. Their wines are some of the best the Okanagan Valley has to offer at an affordable price. Highly recommend a tasting.“
