As a gin drinker, I have been enjoying Noteworthy gin for some time. I can’t belief I zipped by the distillery on my adventures in the south Okanagan on several occasions. Glad I finally stopped and was introduced (and purchased) some new producers. It was great to learn more about Grant Stevely and how he created this outstanding distillery. And Happy Days Gift Shop just down the street has great retro items!

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!

Quinta Ferreira Estate Winery

Reviewed By Akuyek - Tallinn, Estonia

Unplanned, we turned into the driveway of this winery in the attempt to get a bottle of wine to give a friend before hitting the main road back to Vancouver. What a PLEASANT surprise: to be welcomed into a cool, elegant wine tasting gallery filled with classical music and art works; then the friendly wagging tails of a little dog followed by a bigger dog who seemingly offering their heads to be pet; the charge was $5 for 9 kinds of wine including a port. The port is excellent. We definitely will recommend Quinta Ferreira to our friends and will plan to visit them again on our next trip to Oliver.

Castoro de Oro Estate Winery

Family owned and operated! Award winning wines –always made in small batches from pure South Okanagan, British Colombia grapes. Rose, white blends Heart of Gold and Radiant Rhapsody, a bold red blend Crimson Rhapsody, pure varieties of white and red wines and a unique style of dessert wine. With a hands-on approach, the owners facilitate every step of the process, from grape to glass. Castoro de Oro welcomes both children and pets to its fun, cozy atmosphere. Castoro de Oro Estate Winery’s name and label pays homage to its vineyard’s terroir and the founding of Canada. The 35-year-old (planted in 1980), eight-acre vineyard is located on the Golden Mile and blessed with a unique soil combination and a small lake located at the base of it. This terroir provides an ideal foundation for growing superior grapes and a longer growing season than many other Golden Mile vineyards. Beavers helped to create the small lake during their manipulation of earth and water. And early settlers’ search for gold led to the beavers’ vast contribution to the history of the nation; the then-booming fashion industry’s need for beaver felt and fur ultimately allowed settlers to thrive, formally establish the country, and choose the beaver as Canada’s national animal. Now, deservedly so, the dapper mascot appears on every old-photograph styled label.

Gehringer Brother's Estate Winery

One of the earliest and still family-owned estate wineries in the Okanagan Valley. Very consistent and highly-awarded wines.

Reviewed By vancitycyclist - Vancouver, Canada

The folks at Gehringer Brothers Estate easily provide one of the top tasting experiences in the Okanagan. For this estate, it's not just about the quality of the wines, it's about celebrating life. Gehringer makes excellent product using uncommon grapes in the region — and makes it accessible too. The team of Yvonne, Bonnie and Fatima in the tasting room made my birthday visit all kinds of memorable. Thanks again!
