The view was 5* and so was our wonderful waitress Emily H, who is funny and knowledgeable. In fact, all the servers were really nice. The venue is attractive but there isn’t much convenient parking, and the food is okay, but over-engineered. I’ve had better food at cheaper places.

This was my first time visiting a Kelowna winery, and CedarCreek has set the bar sky-high for any future visits. The property is absolutely stunning, the service was exceptional, and the three course wine-paired dinner at Home Block was unforgettable. From the Italian burrata starter to the famous sticky toffee pudding. Stunning views, incredible food, and a truly memorable experience. Thank you.

We visited this winery while traveling from Vancouver, hoping for something special. We managed to get a reservation, but the overall vibe wasn’t that unique. The patio was extremely hot and uncomfortable to sit in for long. We did a tasting of 5 wines — they weren’t terrible, but definitely nothing amazing. All wines were from 2022 to 2025, so quite young and not very complex. The tasting platter for two was $20, but honestly very small and not worth it. In the end, we bought one bottle of rosé from 2024 for $52. There weren’t many better options — most wines were overpriced for what they were. Honestly, if you skip this winery, you’re not missing out on anything special.

Had the most delicious lunch at CedarCreek. We had the 2 course dining menu with wine pairing and everything was so yum. The best buratta we’ve ever had! The views from our table were beautiful and the staff were all super friendly. Would definitely recommend

If you didn’t arrive by 6 you won’t be able to sit down and enjoy the tasting. Then you will pay 15 for two estate wine tastings. Definitely not the best value around so would recommend making the reservation before coming. Great architecture and view though. Would love to come back one day.

I booked a wine tasting for a group of 6 and i have some pros and cons to Cedar Creek as a local. Pros: it was nice to have a relaxed experience with our friends where we didn’t feel rushed. Our tasting host (a young gentleman - sorry I can’t remember his name!) was wonderful. He didn’t rush us, explained everything well, and we had good conversation with him. I have been to the winery before and it truly is stunning. There was a wedding going on so we couldn’t walk around too much - something to think about when visiting on weekends in the summer. Cons: extremely disappointed with the website and how they explain tastings. They make you think that you HAVE to book a tasting. Which while I would still recommend… it’s quite expensive. $40 tax in and you try the expensive wines (most were around $60+). We were told when we got there that you can actually walk in for a tasting but there’s not a ton of space. I emailed and called before booking and never heard back from anyone in 5 days. I booked out of default because some friends wanted to try the wine. While I do think the $40 is expensive, it was still somewhat worth it. The Okanagan in general has changed so much with wine tasting fees so for something “fancy” it’s not too out of reach. It would be nice if you could book a cheaper tasting for $15-20 and try their baseline wines. They also automatically subscribe you to their emails if you book online (I’m pretty sure I did not check the marketing email box). Overall, great experience with the tasting host. Disappointed in the online/phone customer service for clarification on tastings for the caliber of this winery. As a local I don’t “need” come back here unless someone from out of town really wants to come or is looking for an upscale experience. In addition, there are many more locally owned wineries that you can support vs big city owners.

Came here for the 3 course dinner and it was everything you hope it to be and more. Atmosphere: industrial chic with a quirky personality. Spacious, luxurious. Concrete and steel with high ceilings, and huge windows. Eclectic decor with proper doors on each of the bathroom stalls for excellent privacy but old school subway-station round white floor tiles. I definitely enjoyed the feel of the place. You drive up a winding road to the gates and there are lights all around for a very charming walk as you enjoy the gorgeous view. Service: Very attentive and genuine! I know servers make small talk as part of the experience but some do it better than others. Joel was excellent. Food: It is everything you expect and more. I really appreciate how this fine dining establishment gives generous portions. We had the burrata to start and the flavour pairings were a perfect match. There were 4! wedges of focaccia, a lot of perfectly charred red onions (enough to bring out their sweetness and to get rid of the oniony smell when raw, but still crunchy - this was magic), the perfect amount of cherries. I wish we had more prosciutto because it was so good, I forgot to ration it to last through the whole dish. My mom had the bone-in pork chop (think tomahawk, but pork) and honestly this is a little bit of a flex that the restaurant could cook it so part of it was a little raw. This means that from farm to table, each step of the meat raising and processing was good enough quality to do this. Of course it made the texture so much better and the way the flavours could stand out so much more intense. I had the petit beef tenderloin with giant fries. The cool part about the giant fries is that you get the texture and aroma of fries but also that of baked potato in the middle. Your brain is confused, in a good way. They also give you an entire bowl of roquette with grated parmesan on the side so you feel like you've definitely gotten your (raw to boot!) veggies so you don't feel bad about the giant fries and meat you've / you're about to devour. Dessert : I was so full, I only had my half of the tiramisu the next day, at the end of a long drive to my next destination. It was still very excellent and perfectly balanced after a night in a hotel fridge and a day's car ride in a questionably cool cooler. I also ordered the jelly and custard, and normally I really don't like custard. This was different. It made me rethink every past instance of custard and realise that I just never had real or good custard until now. It was thick and just the right amount of creamy and paired perfectly with the intensely fruity duo of jelly on the bottom and fruit sauce on top. Both the jelly and sauce tasted minimally processed with the fruit sauce being just the right amount of sour so the red berries could shine through. This dessert is not showy and sounds deceptively simple and yet, would be the sort of thing you ask for as a last meal. It is the kind of dessert that you never forget.

Both modern and stately, yet adorned with fieldstone and century-old barn board the idyllic Home Block at Cedar Creek restaurant cleverly mixes the past with the present. Reminiscent of European countryside stone cottages or Romantic Quebec City maisons, it draws the emotions of nostalgia as does the gorgeous menu by legendary Chef Taylor (London’s River Café, Australia’s Catalina Restaurant, Cibo Trattoria, the Badger, Espana). 🇬🇧🍇🥂🍷🏆 The approach is simple: locally sourced, seasonal, harmonious pairing, daily crafted and truly farm to table (as he partners with the best local farmers, growers, ranchers). Argentinian-style wood fire grill using seasoned barrel staves and orchard timber, high quality ingredients and sourcing only the finest, this is a “MUST VISIT”! To complete our impressive culinary experience, Hospitality Manager Jordan paired all of our dishes with the PERFECT wine and cocktail pairing. Such a joyful and gracious host! One of the best experiences in Canada! 🏆 Before leaving we popped in to bring home some wine. Had a super and fun time with Emily!

Crystal was amazing and made our experience incredible. What a great place! Food was insane and perfect. Wine pairing was perfect. The atmosphere there was great. We loved every minute of it, the experience, the food, service was on point. Highly recommend this place. Views are out of this world too.

I came here with three friends for my birthday on Friday, and our amazing server / sommelier Sarah made the whole experience! She was so helpful and kind, it really made everything worth it, walking us through the wines and made the afternoon special. I can't wait to return

Thursday sunset hour tastings & nibbles. We made a reservation for the inaugural sunset wine tasting experience and enjoyed two, 2oz pours of wine with a small plate of nibbles overlooking the lake. The nibbles were delicious, but didn't necessarily pair with the wines offered, which was my only critique of the experience. The views are magical and we ended up purchasing a bottle of their Cabernet franc, which is a silver medalist and has a gorgeous, velvet texture. Would recommend for anything looking for a fun, casual twist to your Thursday evenings!

Cedar Creek Winery in Kelowna produces organic wines made entirely on site with the help of bees, highland cows, chickens and other furry and winged friends on their farm that overlooks beautiful Lake Okanagan. If you're planning a visit, don't miss a visit to their their incredible restaurant, Home Block.

Cedar Creek wine was so so. I am not a wine connoisseur or a sommelier. I don't drink because I have that serious Asian Flush. So this review is based on what B told me. We had a bottle of wine shipped to us during Christmas. We cracked it open at dinner and from what B told me the wine was ok. It was not great. He didn't even want to finish it. He said I could use it in my cooking instead. I guess that sums up how good this wine is. B is from Kelowna and he said that Cedar Creek is over priced based on its quality. He doesn't recommend their wine. Also of course, the better bottles can only be purchased in Kelowna. I did have a sip of the wine and to me, it tasted like all wine. I guess if you are giving it to someone like me, it is fine.

I took my visiting brother to Cedarcreek Estate Winery for a Wine tasting . We ended up in Aspect where comfortable surroundings welcomed us. Doug was our Ambassador taking us on a Wine tasting journey with incredible knowledge of selections and relevance in identifying significant character notes. The food pairings were spot on highlighting the flavourful sips of Wine. A complete appreciation of how grapes are grown and where. Highly recommend a visit with friends or family to enjoy a thorough enjoyable offering.

The last winery on our trip was CedarCreek. Like Mission Hill, it was one of the more expensive tastings, at $22 per person (no discount with a purchase), but it was a nice, relaxed tasting. There were two tasting menus to choose from, the "True North" (Ehrenfelser, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, and two Rieslings) and "South of the Bluff" (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Merlot, and Meritage). I didn't like how you had to pick one or the other, instead of 5 wines of your choice, as I liked wines from both selections, but each person could select which menu they preferred -- the entire group didn't have to choose the same menu. A friend and I chose the "South of the Bluff" menu, and the three others in our group chose the "True North" menu, so we were able to sample a bit of everything. I enjoyed the wines, particularly the Merlot, and decided to purchase a bottle. I was shocked to discover it was $50! I also purchased a bottle of the Ehrenfelser. I would have purchased more, but at their prices, two bottles were enough. Overall a great time, but not one of my favourite experiences. 3.5 stars. [Yelp collections: Kelowna 2020; Wine Time!]

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! Our entire experience start to finish was amazing. The staff were incredibly hospitable, knowledgeable, and kind. The estate was STUNNING, absolutely gorgeous architecture and vineyard. On top of that, the wine was delicious and my mom and I walked away very happy. I can't wait to return to Kelowna just for CedarCreek.

Fantastic views and beautiful buildings... unfortunately the wine tastings were very very poor. I had heard this winery was one of the top rated in the area so booked a reservation. Of all the wines we tasted only one Pinot noir would be considered "drinkable". The others were mainly sour or unfiltered/cloudy. I asked if I could order a glass of their merlot to try and they said that's only possible at the restaurant--- seems very silly. Certainly not worth $60 a bottle though. It's too bad but a $9 bottle from Target beats anything this place has. If this is the best the area has to offer, try other areas like eastern Washington etc.

We had an unreal experience here at CedarCreek Estate Winery! We booked the 5 dinner course experience and it was amazing! I highly recommend checking this winery out whether for a tasting or a meal. The food is fantastic and the wine is delicious!

What a disappointment of its transformation compared to before it was owned by Mission Hill. It used to be classy and refined winery but now it's like high school kids party place with too upbeat music and too young staffs with two inches finger nails (so unsanitary for food/drink service industry) who constantly made mistakes and could not remember orders. There was a structural issue of the tasting room as well; its spacious concrete room echoed sound so effectively, and noise in that space hurt my ear and head especially with their bad choice of music. Quality of foods at the Home Block restaurant was disappointing too...looked good but taste was boring with confusing flavours. Miss Cedar Creek what it used to be.

Bad timing! We pulled up in the same minute as a tour group. We waited for awhile to be served, felt rushed during the tasting and then waited again to pay. Honestly the experience was probably a three star but when they waived the $10 fee because we'd waited so long, it gave them a little bump. For the tasting, you choose five from their extensive list. Overall the wines were quite good. The most interesting of which was 'M' a Madeira-style wine made with spirits. We didn't find anything we feel in love with but nothing we shook our heads at either. They have a lovely property that you can wander around and the sun was shining directly on them in the afternoon. My suggestion of course, watch out for those tour vans.

Beautiful winery but it was impossible to hear ANYTHING in the barrel room. We went outside for the tasting, which made it much easier to hear information about the wine, which for me is the real reason to take a tour. I did not like any of the 4 wines we tried - which is unbelievable to me as I looooove wine.

WARNING - construction. You will have a blocked view... and hear the sounds of saws circulating. Sooo that goes the part about peace and quiet and amazing scenary... HOWEVER... this place has redeeming qualities 1. Unlike the Terrace at Mission Hills - usually you can actually get a reservation 2. The staff here is the friendliest, warmest, most customer conscious people I have ever met at any dining experience. 3. I had the on site made pasta - to die for. Perfectly seasoned.. sauces were just right... Pasta had all the right bounce One note though. The wine here is pretty good... not that I'm a professional wine expert... but not Kelowna's finest! Quail and Mission Hills have wine that fits my palette better.

Ate here today for lunch for the first time, I'd rate it 4.5. Celebrating a special occasion. Very nice place, beautiful location. The look of the place and details are beautiful. Has a beautiful view of the lake as well. We ordered: glass of ehrenfelser and a glass of guwertraminer, oysters on the half shell, house made foccacia bread, artic char and house made pasta done vegan. The wine was really nice. We both preferred the ehrenfelser - very crisp, refreshing and kinda sweet. My fiancé loved his oysters and artic char. We both loved the focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic and my pasta dish with tomato sauce and veggies was good. The pasta was a tad chewy and that could be something that they prefer just like how some cooks like to cook their salmon still medium rare in the centre and some like it well done. Our server was very nice, friendly, helpful and served us with a smile. Overall the whole experience was nice. Beautiful sunny day, beautiful restaurant, beautiful view, great food and great service.

What is it that makes doing wine tours so fun? What is it that makes it so special? Wineries like these have one thing in particular for me. That's the excellent food they create to help show off the qualities of the wines they pair each dish with. Even more so is the fresh legumes, the herbs the vegetables, the local ingredients they source out to create their culinary masterpieces. Each winery has their own style and panache in presenting their menus to the customers. Me I want to try the salads and the vegetables. Almost every good winery will serve a clean tasting vegetable dish and salads to go with their summery young tasting wines. Today I had just that. In season asparagus salad with lentils and seeds and a goat cheese purée lightly seated with lemon. What a perfect clean tasting dish! ( see pictures). I also had their Vegetables plate which consisted of heirloom radishes, BokChoy garlic ramps tossed in something that tasted like a light wine butter sauce that you could just barely taste so that it didn't change the simple flavours the veggies had to offer. Simply another 5 star dining experience with a view and I didn't even start on the wine yet. I'm sure plenty of others will write about that!! Would I come again? Of course!!

Lots of construction going on here when we visited, would love to come back when it's finished and see how this has developed. The wine tastings were plentiful and enjoyable. They sold a lot of cookery books as well as wine and I hear the restaurant there is very nice too. A food and wine pairing sounds like a winner for my next visit to Cedar Creek. Thanks to Experience Wine Tours for introducing us to this one.

The place is beautifully renovated w nice washrooms too, but the resturant was just.... not very tasteful. Both me and my friend ordered the 2 course lunch, we tried different plates so we can share. The salad was very sour and excessive dressing, the other one w mushrooms was weird tasting, the fish was good, but the mash potatoes were normal, the spinach was god, so sour I could hardly swallow it. Also, service was just ok. At least the ice wine tastes good.

I must be losing my mind. I clearly remember visiting Cedar Creek Estate Winery. But in reflection, I can't tell you anything about it. I remember us driving up to it. I remember the construction to one side impeding a normally spectacular view. I have photos of the exterior, as does my girlfriend. We found photos online of the tasting room, but they do not jog my memory. My girlfriend claims the photos on Google inaccurate, and they must have renovated since then. Still nothing. I must have been zapped by a neutralizer from Men in Black. I know you might be thinking that perhaps we walked up and decided for some insane reason to turn around, except I have bottles I bought from Cedar Creek, including a 2015 Platinum "Block" Single Vineyard Riesling sitting in front of me. It's real, in my hand, and it's good, confirming I bought the bottle under my own volition and was not kidnapped and brainwashed to think so. It's not like they pried my eyes open and forced me to watch bottles breaking while being unable to blink. I remembered Oak Bay, Summerhill, Tantalus before we arrived, as well as Monto Creek after. The photos we did take of the exterior reveal a breathtaking winery. Sure, the weather wasn't the best that day, but that didn't detract from the construction. Upon deeper reflection, I seem to remember diamond shelves behind the counter like those seen at Mission Hill. Did I suffer trauma? Seriously, this is weird. This must be one of those situations where because I forgot to take photos, my mind blanked on the event because it's so used to relying on them for mnemonic recall. I actually want to remember this place, unlike Summerhill, which I would have preferred blocked. The building looks amazing, the restaurant appealing. However, what I respect the most is their desire to sell actual wine, not their label or novelties or pseudoscientific mysticism. I've never seen, and I do never, a wine maturation chart on a winery website before. Every single bottle that is worth a damn is laid out with a recommendation of how long to wait in the cellar before opening. Seriously, why don't more wineries do this? We had been told that the deeper the punt, the longer it should age. Naturally, my Riesling has no punt, is not located on this chart, so I assume I can open it immediately and enjoy. By the way, I'll reiterate that I was "told" that, but that doesn't mean it's actually true. I do research these things. And you can also download images as zipped files from their website; have they thought of everything? They haven't thought of a mnemonic deceive so I could remember their damn tasting room. I will believe my girlfriend in that I entered said room and enjoyed a tasting. The bottle in my hand proves that, but I could not recall the gender or age of the host. Maybe it was The Shadow, and he altered my memory with some Jedi mind trick. Perhaps this is how they keep their secrets. You walk in, enjoy yourself, get sold on wine, leave, but then not remember why you enjoyed it, necessitating your return. There is a small chance, upon reflection, the location might have been boring; I must admit that is a possibility. Nah, much more logical to assume something involving aliens.

This was the first winery that I visited on my weekend in the Okanagan. There was a good deal of construction so it took a while just to reach an area to park. But once I was there I was very well received. Their manager, Marilla, was very informative and answered all my technical questions. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wines. From the Chardonnay to the Rieslings to the Pinot Noirs, the Rosé and more. Really quality wines.

We went there this afternoon to check out the restaurant, as we have friends coming to town and wanted to see the patio (which is amazing) in fact the whole restaurant is gorgeous. We had a beautiful glass of wine the Pinot Noir Table 4 - yummy!! The best part is the amazing staff, very friendly, knowledgeable, can't wait to go with our friends and try the food!!!

We had an unpleasant experience without even sitting down to dine. We booked one night prior from Opentable for a 6:15pm reservation. At 3:30 we received a call from the restaurant to confirm our reservation, and that was it. We arrived on time, but first of all, the host had trouble finding my reservation as my name was spelt "weirdly". I don't know how weird it could be, as it's just my own name from my Opentable account. Next, she pointed towards the high tables outside the door, which was right up the entrance stairs and completely outside the restaurant. She said that because we only booked last night, this was all the seat she can offer us. They can put an umbrella up for us if we want, because it is windier than usual. We told them that if we have to compromise, we would have appreciated to be informed during the phone call that confirmed our attendance. The host then asked us to wait to see if she can do anything for us. We waited at the wine shop (as it was the entrance to the restaurant), and after quite a while, she returned with another staff to tell us that they are fully booked. The (seemingly) more senior staff blames us once again for booking only last night via Opentable, and that if we book that way, the few tables at the staircase would count as available. I reiterated once again that we'd just like to have been informed with a phone call a few hours prior. We also said that the wind was not the biggest concern, but the fact that the seats were without shade and right beside their construction site. To our surprise and dismay, her replies were: 1. We booked too late from OpenTable, which prompted the restaurant to mark us for those seats. 2. Construction is all year round, it's "on their website, and everybody knows it." 3. A few hours ago (when they called to confirm), it wasn't windy. We just told them that if everything was normal and customers didn't need to compromise, we wouldn't be having this conversation at the door at the moment. We then left. We were appalled that she wanted to put the blame on us for "booking late" (a day prior) and not reading their website prior to dining. Why were we being shamed by a high end restaurant that we were going to pay money to dine in? Update: Two days after this review, I was contacted by the winery and received a personal apology from their general manager. Unfortunately, we are already out of town and back home. The gesture, however, was appreciated.

CedarCreek Estate Winery recently underwent substantial renovations. The refurbished facility and tasting room is immaculate and seems more fitting to a Mediterranean hillside than the Okanagan lakeshore. The interior wine shop is warm and features an array of other products in addition to CedarCreek's wines. Visitors can take in the view from the nearby rose garden and pavilion, where special functions are held, or they can enjoy lunch at the Vineyard Terrace restaurant, which features an array of Mediterranean and West Coast dishes. CedarCreek released its first vintage 18 years ago after Senator Gordon Fitzpatrick purchased an apple orchard that sloped towards Okanagan Lake. Since then, the winery has gained elite status and widespread recognition for its premium wines, and has expanded its vineyard holdings to a site across the lake at Greata Ranch and a site in the South Okanagan. One gets a sense of the winery's eminence upon entering the drive, where the Fitzpatrick family crest flag flies proudly. Wines: CedarCreek has three series of wine ranging from the premium quality Platinum Reserve Series to the more economical Classic Series. Varieties are varied, especially in the Classic Series. Wines are sourced from the winery site CedarCreek vineyards, the Greata Ranch vineyards, and the Desert Ridge vineyards, which produce big reds. Other valley growers supply over 1/3 of the grapes needed to fill the winery's 30 000 case capacity. CedarCreek currently produces: Platinum Reserve: $350-$500 per case Cabernet Sauvignon Meritage Merlot Chardonnay Estate Select Series: $230-$350 per case Meritage Syrah Merlot Pinot Noir Pinot Gris Chardonnay Pinot Blanc Classic Series: Cabernet Merlot Merlot Pinot Gris Chardonnay Proprietor's White Proprietor's Red Pinot Blanc Gewurztraminer Ehrenfelser Dry Riesling "M" - Madeira style wine Notes on Tastings: Tastings at CedarCreek are geared towards the serious taster and serious buyer, with a $5.00 fee for four wines of the Platinum Reserve. Visitors may also try the winery's "M"- the valley's only Madeira style wine- for $2.00. Though the tasting bar is ample, don't be surprised to encounter crowds- it was very busy when we visited early in the season. Last Word: CedarCreek is a big, serious winery that produces serious, quality wines.

Beautiful winery with breath taking views! We had our wedding ceremony here and our guests couldn't get over the beauty of this place! It wasn't cheap to get married here, but the service was excellent and our pictures are fabulous!

We stopped by for a Thursday afternoon tasting. The place in the midst of a major reconstruction project and getting to the wine tasting room requires the negotiation of some dusty rough dirt driveways and a short walk down a fairly steep dirt walkway. Once inside it's fairly nice and they have temporarily converted the old restaurant into a tasting room. The $5 price for tasting four wines is very reasonable. The ambiance is not as great as it will when the construction is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2018. They had several whites that we enjoyed and I'm sure it will deserve at least another star when the building is completed. The staff was friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable.

Beautiful Architecture and surrounding grounds. Located above Lakeshore Road. They have spent "lots of money" at this location. Very impressive. Our favorites wines: 2012 Meritage ($22.99 CAD) and 2014 Pinot Gris ($15.79 CAD)

Went there on a beautiful August afternoon. Their website says they are pet friendly which is why we went there. Though they do allow pets, tying them to a fence post on a busy sidewalk with no shade is not "friendly", but at least they allowed them in. I tied mine to a big tree in the shade, but I had brought more than a leash so I was better equipped than the other dog owners. Of the four people having lunch, three of us had horrible meals. The pasta special was so salty and soaked in grease. Hardly touched it. The mussels had shredded chorizo sausage in it and instead of being mixed around in the sauce was two big clumps on top and is not a good mix to have with mussels. The chef should know better. Again, this meal was too salty to eat. The one meal that was edible was a salad with just watermelon and greens. There is nothing on their website that said that this restaurant is one big construction site. Nothing like the sound of electric saws and constant hammering during a very overpriced lunch. My greasy, gross lunch, a glass of wine and a shared desert came to $50 with tip. The only redeeming quality was the desert was very good, staff were very friendly and the view is amazing. I don't mind paying for the view and service, but at the very least, the food should be edible. Will not be back, and definitely do not recommend.

Spectacular view from the patio! Gorgeous menu, with wine pairings. I had the risotto and gewürztraminer taster. I recommend adding the oven roasted prawns. Perfectly paired with my wine, it has that totally grown up taste. Perfect way to start an afternoon exploring wineries.

I tasted all of the wines they had for tasting .. I'm not a wine connoisseur but I do have a taste for the good wines ... their wines ranked from vinegary to very acidic to a bitter and foul after taste. I ended up buying 2 bottles since I was shy to leave with empty hands.. next day I opened one of the 2016 Ehrenfelser... and I couldn't believe how acidic and bitter tasting that bottle was. I ended up disposing of it in the sink...Can't believe that people line up to buy this highly overpriced new wines ...

We LOVED our lunch at this place. Gorgeous view, over the top service, and the most amazing food!!! Our waiter was the best waiter I've had in years! The food was to die for. They even accommodated a crazy list of allergies by making a special meal. We had the ling-cod, chicken, and flamboise cherries special. A great way to commemorate our trip to BC.

Excellent wine tasting experience- friendly, knowledgeable folks behind the counter, wide selection, and accessible prices. We took home the Pinot Noir and the Ehrenfelder. I hope to be back to try to restaurant as well the next time I'm in town. The parking lot up top is a little tight, but there is additional space below.

Excellent tasting experience - reasonably priced and comparatively generous. Big selection to taste, from patio whites to fancy reserve reds. We stayed for lunch on the gorgeous patio. Excellent fine dining experience with expansive lake and vineyard views.

Ordered the charcuterie plate, with the suggested wine pairing. A lack of engagement with the guests in explaining the dish or the pairing. I love my wine and food, and know what I'm looking for. A cork tainted experience; figuratively.

Ate at the Vineyard Terrace. Based on reviews and menu/prices we expected much better or something different. The service was OK. Greeted by teenagers and served by young people who were polite but didn't really know the menu, and were slow to offer service or fill water glasses. We baked in the sun in the early evening with no shade or offer to move tables (many were empty) or offer to pull down a shade or anything (not sure if they existed but the owners should think about it). There was no background music and tables were so close together conversations from other tables were the only accompaniment. The hangar steak and other ingredients appeared to be high quality and prepared well however the flavour fell far short. Ultimately left half of it on the plate as it just wan't enticing enough. Desert menu was lacking. The paired wine is only sold by the bottle (?) and the manager and waiter decided to tell me this and present options just after the food showed up. For the prices I expected much more. With finer dining prices I expect finer dining service/food and this place fell far short of that. I wouldn't recommend this place for a dinner but if you're stuck there wine touring anyways stay within the appetizer menu and you shouldn't be disappointed. The mains are far overpriced regardless of having locally sourced ingredients.

Lovely winery in Kelowna. All of the wines are quite good but I have not found anything to stand out. This might be a function of selections made.
