“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“
“Very friendly, awesome wines, great time“
“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.“
“Fabulous Viognier with a wicked view and amazing hospitality.“
“Been a few times to Thornhaven Estates Winery. Tastings are $5.00/person, non-refundable for 7 pours. Our pourer was engaging and cracking dad jokes. Bottles are $23.00 to $35.00 and prices include all taxes.
- 2021 Tortured grape
- 2022 Pinot gris
- 2022 Gewürtztraminer
- 2021 Horizon
- 2022 Pinot meunier - usually my favourite. This iteration was much drier.
- 2019 Syrah
- 2023 Peyton's pinot - a rare white pinot noir. This was the favourite from the wines that we sampled. Bought a bottle ($24.00).“
“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“
“I booked a wine tour in Naramata in August for my family. We had such a wonderful time at Mocojo. They have a beautiful winery, knowledgeable owners and staff, and a friendly winery dog named Moose, who we had the pleasure of meeting. I will definitely be back. Their wine is amazing!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Their current year library of wines is absolutely outstanding had a wonderful tasting with Janice today. She was absolutely delightful and her knowledge of the wines and the story about the owners and the history of the winery made the experience very very enjoyable. PS if you are looking for the magnum, I’m the one that bought it.“
“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:)“
“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“
“I went for a later lunch the other day and had a wonderful experience . The server was attentive as was George the dog... so cute.... the food was well presented and flavourful. A constructive comment would be how to have coffee and tea available. The wine tasting after with Janet was 1st class superb. She was busy and still managed to pull it off. Well done!!“
“Great ciders Good service Great view“
“The wine is good. Wasn't a fruit wine person til I stopped here 10 years ago. Now I'm a fan of all their wines. And the people of this winery are the best! Hazel and Kristie did a tasting for our group today and they were amazing.“
“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.“
“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.“

“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“
“We had a very nice lunch at the bistro at Fitz today. The kale Caesar salad was excellent as was the Elusive pizza. A perfect pairing to share between two people! We were happy to have squeaked in this meal on the last day of your season. See you next year!“
“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 :-)“
“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.“
“Beautiful view, great food & wines.“
“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 ?“
“We did 4 wineries in the area and this was the favourite. Megan gave us a really nice tasting, plenty of info on the wine, winery and the region.The wine was also my favourite and we all got some Pinot Gris and the V red blend. My only regret is that I may not have bought enough wine.“
“We visited Serendipity Winery on Saturday, what a beautiful experience. The wine is lovely, the customer service is above par! We visited a number of wineries over the weekend, the experience was definitely number one out of all of them.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!!!“

“I did the Raised in Concrete Tour & Tasting and highly recommend. We had the absolute best experience and it was one of our absolute favorite tastings. In particular, Katie, our guide/host, was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, we were treated so well. A true example of customer service excellence. A big thanks to Katie!“
