River Stone Estate Winery

Our winery is evidence of what one man with vision, determination, and a little luck can accomplish. Proprietor and winemaker, Ted Kane, developed a passion for winemaking at a young age. Many Alberta winters were spent learning and planning how to accomplish his ultimate goal; owning and operating a winery in Canada's premiere wine producing area, Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. 10 years after acquiring it, this perfect piece of raw land has been transformed into a 7 acre vineyard producing several varieties of high quality fruit, a fully functioning winery with a boutique tasting room and, most importantly, our family home. We specialize in the Bordeaux varietals, but also have a selection of white wines and a unique, full bodied Malbec Rose.

Julie was a fantastic host, the best experience we had in the Okanagan. The only winery where we loved all the wines for tasting that day. Joined their wine club and were thrilled to come home to our cases of wine to share with friends and family.

Covert Farms Family Estate

Established in 1959, Covert Farms Family Estate Winery is located in Oliver, BC on 650 acres of benchland. Winemaker Gene Covert is a 3rd generation farmer who worked this land with his father and grandfather. Our certified organic estate vineyards are influenced by the majestic McIntyre Bluff and managed with biodynamic practices. We craft our estate wines with minimal intervention, using natural fermentation when possible to focus on vineyard and fruit. Our white wines display purity of fruit and a crisp natural acidity coveted by growers, and low yields result in terroir-focused artisan reds that are luscious and age-worthy. Those who love recreation dually appreciate our location at the gateway to the iconic Okanagan landmark McIntyre Bluff, which makes a great place to picnic, bike ride or hike. Secrest Organics at Covert Farms operates our seasonal fruit & vegetable stand, and visitors can get their hands dirty in the u-pick section - selecting ripe produce under the summer sun.

Really beautiful family winery and farm. The Epicurean grand reserve tasting was fantastic - the host was great at explaining the wines and the background and philosophy of the organic farm. She also gave us time to enjoy the wines and didn't rush us at all. The charcuterie board that came with the tasting was really great, with local foods and fresh items from the farm. The wines were a little more expensive than some wineries, but were really interesting and unique. We were so happy that they also have a kids farm tour and tasting as well - our kids enjoyed this winery so much more than other ones with no kids' activities! It made for a much more enjoyable tasting for the adults to have the kids busy.

My husband and I were greeted by BettyAnne then we had an amazing wine tasting with Janice, who was knowledgeable and insightful...Eade assisted us with our Club Membership and we will enjoy every bottle. Thank you for restoring our faith in The Golden Mile’s Customer Care after a very disappointing experience at Burrowing Owl. Our entire visit including the restaurant was superb — this winery is a must-do and their wines are excellent quality at reasonable prices!

Kismet Estate Winery

Having grown grapes for the last 20 years we have established ourselves as one of the premier award winning grape growers in the valley. Our story started with our family immigrating from India in the 1990's and making Okanagan our home. We have always worked to establish ourselves as hard working and determined family. The name Kismet is derived from the Punjabi word 'destiny'.

Reviewed By AndreTache - British Columbia, Canada

This winery is situated by the lake which makes it a gorgeous place to visit. It has plenty of parking, a fairly big size of wine-tasting room which is larger than the other wine tasting rooms in Okanagan that I’ve been to, and they have a restaurant which is perfect to enjoy your meal with their selection of wines. But one thing that makes this vineyard unique is that it has this garden by the lake which you can definitely use for your vineyard weeding. See the pictures and judge for yourself how gorgeous this vineyard is. With regards to wine, their icewine is the most interesting to me. It has this unique flavour in addition to its sweetness that makes it quite different than other icewines I’ve tasted. The staffs are so friendly and generous. There’s supposed to be a fee for wine tasting but they waved it after we bought just 3 bottles of wine. Plus they allowed us to capture this areal footage by the lake (see pictures). Always remember, BC is zero tolerance on alcohol while driving so make sure to have a designated driver, or you can join the tour in order for the whole group to enjoy.

Burrowing Owl Estate Winery

It’s All About The Wine Balance is a time-honored goal in the making of premium wines and working toward balance is a way of life at Burrowing Owl Estate Winery. Founder Jim Wyse is committed to balance, well beyond that of the fine, world-class wines being produced. A kind of Hippocratic oath (“to do no harm”) underlies the creative viticultural and enological practices at Burrowing Owl.

What a lovely winery. This was our 3rd stop on a cycling and wine tasting tour from Oliver. We were sat in a lovely area beside the pool in the shade. The tasting was generous and relaxed, and the wine was amongst our favourite the whole trip, hence the wine club membership!!
