22 Best Wineries in Oliver

“They have the best wine slushies!“

“Bartie Winery has really good wines and a generous pour… often more than you expect! The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, which makes the tasting enjoyable. One thing to note: they do charge more for a patio tasting than inside, which feels a bit unfair. That aside, the wines themselves are worth trying and the overall experience is still enjoyable.“

“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!“

“Bought another couple bottles of Rubeus today, and they'll be lovely. Maverick is one of the 'must haves' for our cellar.“

“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.“

“My tastebuds enjoyed the “Colourful Notes” in these wines. Great service and little boutique store with useful items and local art. A hidden gem discovered.“

“Amazing wine, amazing people. Some of the best BC wine you can find We bought this for our anniversary (we were married in 2015) and I have no words!!!“

“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!“

“Amazing everything. View, wine, people“

“Absolutely brilliant winery. We are so glad we ended our stay in Osoyoos with a visit to Checkmate. Jackson was our person, and he treated us extremely well. We had great chats with him and he really helped us with our decisions on the wine. In the end we purchased six bottles of wine, including a great collection of chardonnays and merlots. The presentation of the six bottles in the gift box were exemplary, and well worth the cost. Thank you to Checkmate, and most of all Jackson, for a wonderful afternoon!“

“We just had a tasting with Bertie. So knowledgeable and friendly. Wine was fantastic and so was our hostess. Thanks for helping me become a pro at tasting, Bertie!! We will surely enjoy these 4 bottles 😂❤️“

“wonderful staff, great experience ♡“

“I moved to British Columbia from Ontario to retire in 2016 and wanted to purchase your Sparkling Merlot but it was not available in BC even though Jackson Triggs has wineries in BC. I now understand why - no free trade within the provinces in Canada. It is a shame. I had to order the wine from Jackson Triggs at Niagara Falls Ontario. Thank you Maritime Provinces and Ontario for starting free trade within the provinces of Canada. I hope British Columbia joins them.“

“Intimate tasting room with fantastic wines! The Syrah will blow your mind! My husband and I enjoyed chatting with Dominique as well as with another couple who were from New Brunswick. Great experience, we will definitely be back for more!!“

“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!“

“Big shout out to Roberta and all the staff, they really make you feel special when you visit.“

“We forgot the name of our sommelier but she was a lady with a white suit with the coolest hair that she teased to the max. Wine was so nice and as we are of a younger demographic our sommelier helped navigate the intricacies of notes and explained changes in our palette as we grow older.“
