“A new fav wine. I just moved to Kelowna a year and half ago so I’ve been trying all the local vineyards and now started west Kelowna. Little Straw has so far been my fav west Kelowna winery. Jennifer as beyond amazing with telling the story of the vineyard and her customer service was amazing ( I would have to say out of all the wineries I’ve been too she has been the best). The wine was really good too. The price was great to not cheap but not to expensive just right. I will def be back to buy more wine and will recommend the winery to friends and family.“

“I came here on a wine tour and we had the best time. Joseph was so lovely and knowledgeable answering all of our questions! We were here right before Halloween and they had leaned into all the spooky vibes which was so fun. 10/10 recommend the Pinot noir.“

“Sleepy sundays are perfect for cruising and enjoying our backyard… when in West Bank it’s a Pepper Pot Grill West Kelowna and Paynter's Fruit Market/Off The Grid Organic Winery kinda day! Common theme: nostalgia! Off The Grid Winery is one of our favourite places! 100 year + working farm, fully organic approach, craft small batch, free range critters, very picturesque and has a garden food truck! Nestled beside the Glen Canyon, this beautiful farm has been in the Paynter family for over 5 generations. Mid elevation, western slope and coupled with old world traditional organic farming delivers stunning wine production and an unique profile in the Valley. Maintaining its casual, unpretentious, wine-country vibe paired with exceptional wines and gorgeous views-it’s definitely a destination winery! Perfect for families, couples, weddings, wine connoisseurs or anyone wishing to enjoy a slow pace in our fast ever-changing world… this is a “MUST VISIT”! 🇨🇦🏆🍇🍷🥂🐐🐓🐑 Thank you for the great tasting and chat Karen!“

“Don’t judge a book by its cover. Although their new tasting room isn’t open yet this winery is a hidden gem. Everyone is friendly and so welcoming. Neil was so knowledgeable and kind. Best organic winery we’ve visited thus far. I highly recommend the Blanc de Blanc. We hope to visit again soon. Thanks again Neil and Chantel!“

“Recently did a tasting and loved it. Roger guided us through an array of wines and explained them very well including uses in cooking and pairing. Was a great experience. My husband and I joined the wine club membership we liked so many wines we tasted. The tasting was a sit down experience with some snacks which we all really appreciated, not rushed like so many other wineries are. Our new favourite place!“

“We recently moved to Kelowna from Wpg. One of our neighbours here took us to Crown & Thieves for an afternoon wine tasting. My wife and I absolutely loved it. Definitely not what we were expecting. It was a very eclectic and unique experience. The staff was very friendly. We even got to meet the wine maker and owner Jason. We were so impressed that we purchased a wine club membership. We often get guests visit us from Wpg and of course they want to go wine tasting. We always ensure that we take them to Crown & Thieves. Everyone we have brought there have absolutely loved it as well. Like us, not what they were expecting from an Okanagan winery but they were so pleasantly surprised. This is the best wine club membership in the Okanagan. With our membership we are also included in memberships from the fol wineries: Crown &Thieves The Hatch Black Swift as well as Truck 59 Cidery. The atmosphere at each establishment is different but very unique in its own way. But, the one thing that I did find similar though is the staff is very friendly and seem to take great pride in working there. If you have just moved to the Okanagan and would like to get a membership to a wine club, this is is the best value and most enjoyable club to be a member of. Very highly recommend this membership.“

“Wow so surprised at the whites! Really quite lovely as are the hostesses. Ally was so wonderful and explained about the black swift bird and just so friendly❤️ we also met Carley and handsome Tony the winery mascot ❤️

“We love FRIND, the hosts are awesome and the wine is great! Right on the lake so you can buy a bottle and sit on the beach. Best pizza around!“

“What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived at the winery, we were made to feel welcome—literally—with a glass of welcome wine while we waited to be seated. The setting was stunning, and the patio is the perfect place to relax and soak it all in.

The food and wine were absolutely outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and paired perfectly with their selection of wines. The team was knowledgeable and passionate, answering all our questions about both the menu and the wines with such care.

A special shoutout to the manager, Nicky, who was absolutely lovely and made our visit even more memorable. Her warmth and hospitality really stood out.

We’ll definitely be returning to enjoy that beautiful patio again soon!“

“👏I love Mission Hill. The ambience and location are unmatched. The wine is excellent too. On this occasion I wanted to particularly recommend the Iconic Oculus wine tour. The tour itself is well structured and the wines are fantastic. What made it really special was our Guide, Robbie. He is incredibly well read and knowledgeable not just about Mission Hill Wines, but wine in general. He shared so much historical and geographic knowledge, from around the wine growing world. Information about the industry, the historical contexts and the wine itself. He is also warm, engaging and really fun and funny! I've been to a number of tours at Mission Hill, and yet Robbie managed to impart lots of new information that I'd never heard before. Quite a feat! I highly recommend the Iconic Oculus tour, and Robbie the guide!“
