“Such a great tasting, beautiful wines. Great explanations of the wine and cozy patio right by the vines!
I really enjoyed their Chardonnay and Rose, a little surprising to me as they are not usually my go to… Pinot blanc and rieslings were also delicious… everything was to be honest. I will definitely be back:)“
“Fantastic boutique winery right off the main road. Cute patio with plenty of seating. We were lucky enough to be the first ones in for the day so we ended up with a private tasting. Great wines and definitely on my list to go back and pick up more wine. Service was excellent!“
“I had visited Township 7 Vineyards & Winery early in their start-up (2004-5) and was impressed then. I have stopped in from year to year and sampled their quality lineup and was never disappointed. In my recent September 2024 visit - I was very impressed by their vineyards bounce back from the extreme cold in January 2024. I was perhaps even more impressed by their current wines - shown and described very capably by Kathy/Cathy in the tasting area. No hard sell from Kathy (still, I did buy the NBO), but professional background info on harvest conditions, wine-making and very friendly clues on the aromas that contribute to each of the wines' gestalt (haven't used that word for a long while ;). On a final note - thank you Kathy for a very worthwhile visit in Naramata last Monday. I do hope to make it over to the Langley winery with some of my wine appreciation class soon and taste/buy some more wines. Cheers, David“
“Great ciders Good service Great view“
“We went for a VIP tasting and the experience was 10/10. It was our favorite tasting in the entire Okanagan area.
We were a group of 6 and had Jerry leading the tasting. He was insightful and we learned a lot. We did not receive this level of attention at any other winery, even super expensive ones. The wines surprised us as well - The Pinot and Syrah were standouts. The experience also incited us to buy a lot of wine so it’s such a win-win.
I would recommend this to anyone.“
“What a beautiful, magical, sensual, wonderful ,dinner experience!!! Absolutely loved the waitress Sarah; she was so joyful and fun! It was certainly the highlight of our trip to Naramata! Will definitely be back there, and the food was amazing too; plus a spectacular view . Thank you Hillside Winery! Julia and Greg Ehlers“

“A group of us came in to do a tasting and were greeted beautifully. Had our tasting with Trish and felt so at home. We bought the delicious Merlot to pair with the homemade lasagna for the evening. The jokes, the laughs and the wine!! Trish is fabulous and will definitely be back.“
“Incredible winery. Some of the best wines in the region, in an absolutely stunning yet down to earth setting. Monique and the team always go out of their way to give amazing service. No idea why people below gave 1 star reviews. Wanting to spend only 15-20 minutes at a winery is a strange expectation. They must've had a bad day!“
“This was one of the wineries that we visited on our Naramata Bench wine tour. The staff member that we had the tasting with was very informative. She taught us not only about the wines/how they are made but also shared information on how we go about tasting the wine. The vibe of the winery was very down to earth. I would recommend if you visit Naramata to stop by this winery.“
“In late April 2023, we were blessed with a pretty fantastic winetasting experience here.Kelly was very friendly and inviting, and I felt fortunate at the amount of time that she spent, explaining the evolution of this winery. I say fortunate, because we were able to go behind the scenes and look at the tasting room while it was under construction. in fact, we were blessed enough to be able to take a look at all of the developments of this fairly new location. You wouldn’t know it, but they have an entire production facility, right downtown, complete with everything you need to make the wine… Large tanks, barrel storage, everything. It was quite something to see.Back to the tasting, we enjoyed our tasting at the bar in the restaurant. They had a decent selection of very good wine like evolve sparking wine, Chardonnay Pinot blancwhite effervescence which was Chardonnay Pinot blanc I think she said,a different version of that followed by 2021 Pinot GrisAnd more.A note about the restaurant, they Source their proteins/meat from locally grown, organic, where possible. you can see some of the meat as it’s ‘dry aging.’ They will take one of these hunks of meat, and cut your steak They cook it. I don’t know any other place in the Okanagan that does this. We were told that their menu is pretty much constantly changing, as nothing will be served if it isn’t fresh or Current, as far as locally sourced as much as possible, is concerned. This restaurant takes its food very seriously, and you’ll know this when you dine here.Overall, it was a very good tasting experience, located right down in Penticton, BC. if you have some time, I recommend checking this place out.Other notes:The entire facility is located in a heritage building, so there were some limitations imposed upon how much change they could make.There won’t be any other tasting bar like this in the Okanagan, they’ve made quite the effort to capture the wine tasting, “cocktail culture“ fine dining, a shared place, with some private rooms for you to book a more intimate function and/or events. I think they’ve even had at least one proposal planned on this location :-)“
“A beautiful location and tasting room. Outside there is a large tent with picnic seating, creating a shaded area to hang out under while talking with friends. The staff were knowledgeable and kind, and of course, quality wines to choose from ?“
“Loved everything about this place.“
“Excellent stop on a winery tour! It's on the smaller side with an excellent view and delicious Italian sandwich truck. The sandwiches are made to order and incredibly tasty. Their wines are also incredibly tasty and seemingly unpretentious, although they're very well done and stand up to the competition. Make sure to have enough time to enjoy a sandwich (or bring your own picnic) with that classic lake view.“
“A lovely Winery, with great wines and tastings. One option is to do 'blind tasting', so that you do not know the wine when you taste it. This is lots of fun and educational as well.
They are fun, attentive and very professional.“
“Enjoyed our wine tasting, beautiful views and lovely covered patio where dogs are allowed. They brought out some water for our pup which was very thoughtful. They seem to know their winery language (even if I didn’t understand half of it). I enjoyed the white wines. $10/ person for tasting which is refunded if you buy 3+ bottles of wine.“
“Stopped in here during a little winery crawl and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, it made the experience even better. The atmosphere was very nice and the tastings were $6 for 5 wines and they void that if you purchase a bottle, which of course we did! Would recommend.“
“We’re so happy that we stopped here today!!! Such good wines and cheese and @Landon Ketterer was such a delight to interact with too: knowledgeable, friendly, personable!!! To anyone passing by, please do yourself a favour and stop at the Upper bench, you won’t regret it!!!“

“As a wine lover traveling from the Willamette Region in Oregon, I give this winery 5 stars!
I had an incredible experience with Emily. She was very knowledgeable about the region, wine making, and Roche wines. I loved comparing more contemporary to more traditional wines, and the artwork and family history that was shared with it.
The wine tasting was well designed, and had more flexibility than other wineries in the area, plus the bottles are very affordable! Grab a few!
Their Old World/Burgundian style Pinot Noir and New World style Pinot Noirs are both fantastic, as well as a Pinot Gris grown on site that is crisp and refreshing.
I’d make this a MUST on your trip!“
