17 Best Wineries in Oliver

“Come meet the folks here. Ted is very knowledgeable on a craft that he is passionate about and after hearing his story it really connects you to what’s behind the product. Shout out to Ingrid who opened our eyes to the subtle differences decanting can accomplish. The cottage was quaint and very welcoming. A great spot to unwind after walking the vineyards with a case of new friends. The wines were on point for us and after all my years in Oliver in the past it was nice to connect with a place that takes pride and ownership in what they do. Thank you for hosting us. Happy to become a member - and see what you create in the coming seasons.“

“Great afternoon spent at this lovey winery! They hosted a group of 12 of us with a wine and cheese pairing & accommodated dietary restriction. Knowledgeable, friendly, and delicious!
Bocce ball was a great idea to keep us entertained as opposed to just sitting drinking wine, ( not that that’s a bad thing ;) )“

“The grounds are beautiful and the wines are delicious. The charcuterie board might be the best you ever have. Not kidding. Call in advance to order it -- it's laborious to put together! And worth the call. :)“

“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!!!“

“A group of snow birds came out to see the amazing Christmas decorations inside and out on Sunday. We all truly enjoyed our experience. Of course we bought wine! The presentation was so informative and the humour that goes along with the commentary is awesome. Such a gem!! We will be back. Thank you so much!!“

“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.“

“We had an incredible wine tasting experience at Gold Hill! Val was knowledgeable and passionate about wine-making and the wines really reflected that! A “must” on your Okanagan wine tour!“

“We had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience at Kismet on Saturday???. Got picked up by Manpreet at our campsite and she safely drove us to Kismet where we did a wine sampling. We got there a little bit late but Jim stayed open extra long for us and let us sample their YUMMY wines?????. After we told him we were going for dinner there he waved all of our tasting fees???. Super nice man?. Went to dinner and ate fantastic selections of foods and service was OUTSTANDING! We met the eldest daughter who was so gifted at explaining the menu and her brother was our waiter and very veryfriendly ad quick. Her younger sister ended up being the wine maker but was also the pretty young lady who drove us to the facility. All and all it was a 10 STAR EVENT. ???“

“Amazing everything. View, wine, people“

“Checkmate has been a favourite winery of mine for quite some time. I finally visited from Ontario and Gail made the tasting amazing! My wife and I did a curated tasting with food pairings from Chef Joshua… fantastic and I would recommend it.“

“Culmina is fantastic. The view is unbelievable, the wines are incredible but best of all is the service. The highly detailed wine sheets are perfect for analytical wine enthusiasts.

Joe made our experience the best it could be. We could not be happier with his professionalism and expertise. We will be coming back again. Go Bills!“

“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!“

“If you like French-style wine this is the place for you. It’s reservation only and they said they may not do wine tastings next year due to limited stock. Wine tastings are $10 nonrefundable. They were hit hard by the weather and so the yield is very low, this means go before the year ends as this may be the last year they do wine tastings, they’ll be reserving their bottles for wine club members only. Whites start at about $31 and reds start at about $37.“

“Cassini Cellars is a must stop on your Okanagan wine tour.The choice was five different wines.There is a seperate room walked in glass just for library wines as well as some of the largest bottles I have seen.The hostess was very knowledgeable and friendly and we didn't feel rushed and even stayed open longer for our group.The wine is very good and ours ranged from $24-$50, don't pass by this winery it's a must stop.“

“We actually had a blast here! Was a bit of a tight ship at first, but once everybody was loosened up, we really enjoyed ourselves.

The views outside are fantastic, it is peaceful, and the seating is cozy. There are misters on the patio, but they didn't seem to he working properly. Would have been nice to have them, but we were OK without them.

We had lots of fun with the staff, especially Corinne? (Spelling?)

We even got to witness a surprise engagement ?! Very cool

Oh...and the wine, let's not forget about that! The wine was Great of course !! There are some great ones here!

We will be back again next year!! Until then!“

“I recently visited BlackHills Estate Winery and had such an amazing experience! Brett was welcoming, charismatic and knowledgeable. He set us up at a table with a great view and poured us some fantastic wines. At the recommendation of the fabulous manager, Jesse, he was able to open a bottle of bubbles for us to try. Our line-up of wines were great and sparked a lot of conversation. Brett led us through the tasting in an easy, relaxed and professional manner, answering all our questions and informing us of all the latest developments in the Okanagan. He also touched on some of the international wine industry processes which are being used in the Okanagan. My favourite wines from this tasting were the sparkling, the Addendum and the Nota Bene. Always a great pleasure to get out to BlackHills Winery.“
