“Rheinhessen Village of Dalsheim, only kilometres from the Rhine, is famous for winemaking since the Middle Ages and the beginning of the 8th Generation Winery. Inspired by the regional terroir and historic possibilities, Christian Schales planted his first vineyard in 1783 and started Weingut Schales. Fast forward to Bernd Schales and wife Stefanie whom directed a path over the pond and landed in the Okanagan in 2003. They purchased a small lot, grew grapes and produced for other wineries until they decided to acquire the Summerland acreage and facility to resume the Schales family legacy in Canada. I’ve visited the Mosel, Baden, Pfalz, Mittel-Rhein and Rheinhessen regions… these wines are distinctively and beautifully German inspired. — At 8th Generation Winery“
“We came here for my bachelor party last week. They opened just for our group and we had an absolute blast. Jess and Leo took such great care of us. Thank you for sharing your passion and for making my weekend so special. I will definitely be back again.“
“Love the fine wines of Silk Scarf 🧣!!! Good today. Even better In the future. So buy a case. And taste annually. Just finished our last bottle of the 2008 Ensemble !!! The last of a case from back then ! 11 years old. Amazing. With steady , prawns and blue Cheese -greek salad 🥗!“
“A gorgeous little gem totally worth visiting!“
“I understand because they are popular and have heavy traffic, they need to be efficient, but the experience is tainted by the by the manufacturing assembly line like setup. You buy a ticket at a computer kiosk (albeit disguised as a wine barrel) to do a tasting. You stand in line until a spot opens up, you do your tasting (optionally buy wine)? Then get a table for food (optionally). Where again you order from a kiosk and wait for your phone call to get your food. All that said, all the wines were very good (I tasted only reds) and the pourer was quite good. Then the pulled pork sandwich I had was also good. I just can't give the 5 stars because of the procedural experience“

“Husband and I had a fabulous visit here today. Highly recommended and loved our chat with Kon about his experience and where he and his family came from and last but not least loved playing ball with Moose 😊“
“Simply the best! Can’t find better wine on the bench!“
“Shantelle was so amazing!! We loved being here. :) She took the time to walk us through the nuances of white wines, from varietals to tasting techniques, and we learned so much while sipping. The passion and care she brought to the experience made it feel personal and enriching. A must-visit for anyone curious about white wines!“
“A must stop if you are in the Naramata area looking for some amazing wine and breathtaking views!
Candace was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly!
The views and wine …. We could have sat there all day!
I will be back!“
“Every single wine is amazing ! Their service is amazing. 10000/10 would recommend. Every year they produce better wine. Thank you Black Widow Winery“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Red Rooster Winery, and I can't recommend this experience highly enough, especially thanks to Landon, who made the day unforgettable.
From the moment we arrived, Landon’s warm and welcoming personality set the tone for an extraordinary visit. He greeted us with genuine enthusiasm and offered a wealth of knowledge about the winery, its history, and, of course, the wines. His passion for wine and the winery’s craft was immediately evident, and it made the entire tour feel like an educational adventure rather than just a tasting.
Landon expertly guided us through the tasting process, offering detailed descriptions of each wine and sharing interesting stories behind the blends. His ability to explain the nuances of each varietal, without being overly technical, made the experience approachable for both novice wine drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts. He even went above and beyond by recommending food pairings that perfectly complemented each wine, which elevated the entire tasting.
One of the highlights of the day was Landon’s insight into the vineyard’s sustainable practices. It was clear that Red Rooster is committed to producing quality wines while respecting the land, and Landon’s passion for the environment made the experience all the more special.
Whether you’re visiting for the wine, the stunning views, or simply to learn more about the winemaking process, Landon will make your time at Red Rooster Winery one to remember. His personable approach and vast knowledge truly set the experience apart. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“
“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“
“ROCHE wines’s story weaves love, authentic French wine making tradition and an adventurous move to the Okanagan. Dylan Roche (Burgundy, Chablis, New Zealand, Margaux) an avid cyclist wished to pursue becoming a cycle mechanic and tour guide in the idyllic countryside of Burgundy in 2000. Serendipitously, the alluring life of winemaking converted him to officially train in Beaune (2003). Pénélope Furt-Roche (6th generation Bordeaux winemaker of Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Spain, New Zealand, Australia,Tasmania) grew up at the esteemed family estate in Bordeaux and at a young age learned the exquisite French tradition of winemaking with her Father Didier. The two merged paths in New Zealand whilst discovering Hawkes Bay during harvest and fell in love (original Hallmark story). They chased each back to France, started a life and both continued their wine journey in Bordeaux. In 2010, the family decided to sell the estate and with a leap of faith the vignerons couple wanted to pursue a dream of their own… Roche Wines! New transplanted they found their desired location in 2011 and commenced various projects to assist them to their final goal in 2017. Being organic, with hands-on farming, focused on sustainable practices and paired with unique Okanagan terroir Roche Wines has quickly excelled. Within their 5 years, Dylan and Pénélope have received BC Lieutenant Governor Awards, Highlighted in Decanter Magazine, high accolades from Jancis Robinson MW/London and wines are currently in most of BC’s TOP restaurants. Equally impressive is family friend and Award Winning Veteran winemaker Dwight Sick (Stag’s Hollow, Moraine Estate Winery, Chain Reaction, Seven Stones) whom has a stunning collaboration with Roche- Amulet Series. His glimpse of the Rhône features highly acclaimed and sought after Viognier/Marsanne, Grenache/Syrah blends. Together, this quaint and unsuspecting winery is a truly authentic slice of the BEST of France (Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace, Rhone) in our beloved wine country! 🏆❤️🍷🥂🍇🇫🇷“
“Perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine with some personality! Kerry was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We visited mid-march but I can’t wait to return this summer. I’m a big fan of enjoying a beverage in a low-key and scenic environment. Next time we will buy a bottle and bring some snacks to enjoy at the picnic tables!“
“I make sure to come here every time I’m in the area and stock up on their cherry and cassis fortified wine. The apricot wine is also delicious, and their regular wines are not bad either although perhaps not the same caliber that you may find at nearby wineries that only make grape wines. The tasting experience here is always great. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and passionate (and quite generous with their pours!). The garden at the back is lovely and a nice respite from the heat. I love this place and everyone I bring here only has good things to say about it!“
“Beautifully manicured grounds, inviting courtyards, airy patio surrounded by lush gardens Lake Breeze has a quaint European ambience which is both satisfying and alluring.
Named after the winds that cross the bluffs this is a beautiful place to refresh before harnessing the gentle lake breeze to sail through wine country. Original vineyard dates to 1985 being one of the oldest on the Naramata Bench and officially opening 1995 with Swiss-born Paul and Vereena Moser. Equally prized as all the medals awarded is Winemaker Garron Elmes (Cape Town, Stellenbosch) whom merges the stunning wine tradition of South Africa with okanagan terroir. Also famously, first South African to transplant to our beloved wine country and who brought the impressive potential of pinotage to our attention.
Along the way, new owners Drew and Barbara McIntyre smitten with opportunity and seeing Lake Breeze bear award winning fruit expanded from rustic winery to its current appeal. Included was Winemaker Victor Costa (Okanagan College) who brings his Portuguese family roots and tradition to this lovely portfolio.
In kitchen, veteran Chef de Cuisine turned farmer Mark Ashton (Quattro, Spain, Italy and French Riviera) delivers a complete farm to table with seasonality through his farmstead approach. Ethically raised heritage pigs, farm grown produce and scratch made menu is the focus.
Tying together elegant winemaking and a beautifully prepared menu it is easy to understand why this is one of favourite recommendations… you experience worldly crafted wines with an elevated dining experience all in a relaxing setting at Lake Breeze Vineyards! 🍽🥂🍇🏆❤️🍷
Had a lively and wonderful tasting with Darrel (great host and living his best life). Perfect respite luncheon and superb service with Sarah. 😎“
“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.“
“Fabulous Champagne, wonderful reds and cute sheep! Beautiful Allison their Sommolier was a wealth of knowledge and we had her all to ourselves when we showed up at Noon when they open! It was like a private tasting!!!❤️🍾🥂 Don't forget to say hello to Maple the cutest Ram! 🍁“
“Fabulous wines, fabulous tasting room.“
“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.“
“Both white and red wines are great.“
“Just visited Three Sisters Winery with my husband, our two kids, and our dog — and we had the best time! On this very hot day, the kids had plenty of shaded space to play and a whole selection of games to keep them entertained — giant Jenga, Four in a Row, chalk drawing, coloring books, and even Yahtzee. Everything was so thoughtfully set up for families. Our dog was treated to a refreshing bowl of cold water, the kids enjoyed fresh, delicious slushies and pops, and we got to relax with some wonderful wine. It’s one of the rare places where you can spend the afternoon tasting wines while your kids (and pup!) are happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!“
“Another great stop. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, forgot to get his name but he was great! Their reds are definitely the best! Great blends of reds! It's a very simple winery on the Aikins Loop but very nice. Amazing stop!“
“We had my sisters wedding here and it was stunning! Everything was great from start to finish. The grounds, the staff and everything there was amazing. Merissa was exceptional! She was so organized and paid attention to every single detail. Her communication is off the charts. We even had an unusual wedding gift request that was hard to accommodate, but Merissa made it happen! I highly recommend this venue and Merissa! Thank you all!“
“What an unforgettable experience! We reserved a table for a tasting, and our host Larry was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. And the wine… wow! Every bottle we tried was exceptional. Let’s just say, it was a challenge finding enough room in the truck for all the wine we brought home!“
“I have the opportunity to have a tasting on a Monday morning,
As the winery google time was not reflected in the current hour of operation, the staff still make tasted what it was left open.
Price is very approachable and decent quality.
Staff was understanding and really respectful.
You have a walkable path from the parking to enjoy a great view.“
“This place never disappoints in terms of the food and the patio. Pictured is the deconstructed blt- a featured starter and a chicken sandwich we split and they played separately for us without even asking. The view is kind of over there behind the sunflowers and you can see a sliver of lake back there somewhere - so don’t go for the lake view - there isn’t one - but if you want top end meal and a nice glass of wine then this is the place. Very popular on the wine tour circuit and they don’t take reservations unless for 8 or more so get there earlier than later for lunch and don’t be discouraged by the full parking lot - lots are only there for the tasting.“
“We went to Laughingstock for a wine tasting today. Our server, Vera, was lovely but so busy we didn't have a great experience. Apparently reservations are recommended. We walked in and were seated. Vera brought us our samples and then had to run to another table. We waited a long time for our next sample of mediocre wine. I'd rather they told us they were too busy to properly accommodate us. We could have spent out time at another winery that could give us their time and attention.“
“An absolute gem in Penticton!
We had such a great experience at La Frenz Winery. The wine tasting was absolutely fantastic. Every pour was thoughtfully explained and full of character. The service stood out just as much as the wine: warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish.
What really impressed us was how kid-friendly they were. It’s not always easy to find places that balance a great adult tasting experience with genuine hospitality toward families, but La Frenz nailed it.
Beautiful views, good wine, and kind people. Can't wait to return.
Highly recommend!“
“WORTH THE READ: This place tops the charts of my favorite place to stay so far. The location has a beautiful view of okanagan lake. Even with others staying at the property, we rarely heard or saw other people so it was relatively private. My boyfriend and I absolutely enjoyed the hot tub, in-room fireplace was a must after a long cold day, bidet with warm seats, a delicious breakfast, and our free tasting. We also enjoyed a few friendly visits from Bruce(the owners dog) while he secures the grounds. This Inn is located about an hour or so from Kelowna which is a bit far for some who only want to explore the wineries in that area, however, we thought it was the perfect location to stop at more local wineries, breweries and cheese shops along the wine trail on our way to Kelowna.
Aside from our stay at the Inn, we went on a hike about 30 min from the inn where you can hike to the top of a rocky outlook to get a view of the inn from across the lake which was a very cool perspective. I would recommend this place to everyone, the staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and give you privacy. The view of the stars from the Inn was truly amazing and we are thankful to everyone from Therapy Inn & Vineyard for making our stay so special!
Walkability: There are over 15+ wineries, distilleries and cideries located within a 2-15 min walk from the inn.“
“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.“
“Cathy was exceptional and gave great knowledge of the wines ! We have tried a few places and we are from Ontario but this place was by far my favourite wines !“
“Beautiful view, great food & wines.“
“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!!!“

“This is a great place for a wine tasting. It's a nice spot, the people are friendly; and the wine selection is much broader than most places (they produce Haywire, Free Form and Narrative - all full lines of wine). Excellent wines, and something for everybody.“
