We were visiting family in Sun Peaks who been dog sledding last year and loved it. We went on the hour long tour and can say it was the highlight of our holiday. Chris collected us from the village and drove us up to the base. All of the dogs are clearly loved and well cared for and enjoy their work pulling the sleds. We had time to meet and stroke our sled team before the tour and then afterwards time to stroke all the dogs and meet the amazing litter of puppies - just adorable!! Travelling through the forest was simply breathtaking and we stopped at the lake for photos. Our guides Tempe and Andrew were friendly, informative and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this experience - thank you all so much for such a special and unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable Dog Sledding Adventure at Sun Peaks– A Must-Do Experience! From start to finish, this dog sledding experience was nothing short of magical! The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a team of energetic, well-cared-for huskies and knowledgeable guides who made us feel welcome and excited for the journey ahead. The sled ride itself was absolutely breathtaking—gliding through a pristine winter wonderland, surrounded by snow-covered trees and crisp mountain air, was like something out of a dream. The dogs were incredible, full of enthusiasm and strength, and it was heartwarming to see how much they love running. What truly stood out was the opportunity to interact with the dogs! Thanks so much for the experience!

We had amazing experience with Mountain Man Dog Sled Adventures. Taryn made a last minute booking very easy. Chris was very friendly and knowledgeable. Liam made our sled ride enjoyable. The scenery was magnificent. But it’s the dogs that steal the show. They clearly love being on the trail and there was plenty of time to interact with them after. Meeting the puppies was also a highlight. We would recommend the experience. Chris and his team clearly love the dogs and the experiences they create for guests.

Joe took us on a fun Jeep tour through the Sun Peaks mountain range, including to McGillivray Lake, and a couple other lake spots. It was beautiful scenery the whole time, and we saw some wildlife on the drive! Joe is very knowledgeable about the area and can answer all your questions. And we appreciate Taryn's help to book us specially before the official tourism season begins - thank you!

Our dog sled expedition was absolutely incredible! The dogs were well-trained and full of energy, and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. The stunning winter landscapes made the ride feel like something out of a dream. Everything was well-organized. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in the snow! 💯💯💯

We had the amazing experience of dog sledding with Chris and Tarin from Mountain Man Adventure Tours in Sun Peaks. Under the guidance of Liam we sledded through the most spectacular mountains with picture perfect views. The dogs are extremely friendly and love what they do - running! Thanks for this once in a life time experience. 🥰🇨🇦

I booked the ‘ Into the Wild Dog Sled Tour’ for a unique birthday experience. This was a great experience! The dogs are so friendly and love what they do! The owners are really passionate about their dogs and ensure they are healthy and well looked after. A great company and experience overall!

Privato Winery & Woodward Cider Co. Had to be a Kamloops visit destination while I was in the area. They have comfortable outside and a rustic inside seating to enjoy the offerings. Skilled and informative staff are happy to describe everything as well. I was informed of the great seasonal events they have.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Privato Winery. Mackenzi and Candace were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable, and they made the wine and cider tasting such an enjoyable experience. We felt welcomed the entire time and truly appreciated how well they explained everything. Would definitely recommend!

Great destination for fall fun and fine wine! The environment is absolutely gorgeous, and the pumpkin patch is always a lovely tradition. While the cider wasn't a hit, the wine is superb. It was a bonus to have a great vendor on site to eat, making it easy pair and enjoy a glass of wine or cider right before or after picking our pumpkins. We'll be back for the wine and the views!

I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to the amazing team at Privato Winery. I had bought a Mother’s Day tasting for my mum and me through their website, but a few days before, I saw a woman selling a gift basket on Facebook Marketplace. I thought I scored a deal—but unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam. The confirmation number she gave me wasn’t even close to the real ones Privato uses… So annoying but my own fault. Sidney and Catalina were nothing but kind and patient. They looked at the message I got and told me they think I had been scammed. And here’s where they completely blew me away: instead of turning us away (which they honestly could have done, because none of this was their fault), they rallied together and helped us. They put together a basket for us right there on the spot and turned what could’ve been a disappointing afternoon into something really special. The wine was incredible, the ciders were so good, the charcuterie was delicious, and the entertainment was just the cherry on top. But more than that, it was the kindness of the people that made the day perfect. Thank you Sidney, Catalina, and everyone at Privato. You went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful. You gave my mum and me a beautiful memory we’ll never forget.

Beautiful winery. Stopped by for a cider and wine tasting. The gardens are very nice. Tasting area is very spread out. Lots of sun and shade options. Pet friendly area. Cornhole and ladder ball.

We had a fantastic time at privato winery! Maya was AMAZING. She was so sweet and talkative and clearly cares a lot about her job. We even signed up to be members during this experience!! Thanks so much!

A delightful vineyard just a short drive from town, offering wonderful wine and cider. Tastings start at $10, depending on your selection. The overall experience and atmosphere are truly fantastic—highly recommend! 🍷🌾

The Monte Creek winery has a wonderful tasting room. The big glass windows really give it a nice atmosphere. The grounds are well manicured. The outdoor patio is a good size. Friendly and pleasant staff.

Awesome wines, beautiful views, and the food totally hit the spot. Everyone on the staff was friendly and made the whole experience even better. A good place to hang out with friends during summer time.

Mmmm, the wine, oh the wine! 4 healthy samples of your choice and a charcuterie board. We ended up taking 4 bottles home. Great selections and all flavourful and tasty. No bombs in our selection and some great stories behind them! Ask about “hands up” and you’ll see a movie in the making.

Great place that you might miss if you're not paying attention. Superb collection of local wines, and the food at the restaurant is excellent. Staff was very friendly and eager to make your visit a wonderful experience.

Plan your wedding here! Not only was it the absolute best spot for an knockout view, the shaded trees and stunning lawn made for a incredible setting for our wedding ceremony! Coordinating with the Event team was a breeze and every detail was taken care of. Our guests enjoyed a perfect afternoon and I couldn't ask for anything more!

I recently had my wedding ceremony at Monte Creek Winery and it was wonderful! They've had some turnover in event coordinators so I worked with a few different people throughout the planning process but they were all very helpful, responsive, and flexible with figuring out all the little details. The wedding was beautiful and everyone loved the wine selections for the cocktail hour. The Living Land Sparkling Rosé in particular was a big hit!

Went to the wine club pick up party last night. Have to say the staff and catering company did an amazing job. Amazing food by Sage & Plate and very friendly and courteous staff. And of course amazing wine. Great job Monte Creek Winery. Another happy member.

Visited in September. BC Wildlife Park was a sweet and memorable stop. Loved seeing the rescued animals—they looked safe and well cared for, which was really heartwarming. Owl Talk was a definite highlight! Getting up close to such a beautiful bird was amazing. The observation hive was super cool too. The spirit bear is the standout, but no luck spotting it this time. Still, a lovely visit overall.

We had such an amazing time at BC Wildlife Park. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Unfortunately, we missed the train ride, but there was still so much to see and enjoy. The park is very family-friendly, with great facilities for all ages. One highlight for me was seeing the cougar laying right at the gate, such a beautiful moment! Also, I absolutely loved the honey in the gift shop definitely worth picking up a jar.

We absolutely love the place. They only have rescued animals and the have signs telling you the story of each animal plus really interesting facts about that animal species. We went in a hot sunny summer day so recommend to bring a hat and a ton of sun screen. The splash zone they have was a blast that gave us some relief from the hot weather. We were able to see so many animals (recommend checking the feeding schedule), we love the bears they have in particular the white one which is only found in BC. They have some timings for you to go a pet some goats and sheep they have, they even provide brushes which are like a spa for the animals, they love to be pet and are super friendly and cute

A bit disappointed by the facilities. Needs renovations. The train 🚂 was not running unfortunately. Off season prices too expensive. When we arrived at 10:30am there was almost no animals out it felt very strange, like an abandoned old zoo. Later on we saw more but some of the cages were not looking very clean. The birds section was great. It is nice to have the story of the rescue of each animal. They definitely should replace most of the fences by glasses. Not that much of “wild” animal.

Visited BC Wildlife Park on Canada Day, and despite the hot weather, we had a wonderful time. We got to see a variety of animals, including the bear, which was a highlight. Though not as many animals as you'd expect from a zoo since this is wildlife refuge. The little train ride was a fun and relaxing way to explore the park, especially for kids. One of the best features on a hot day was the water sprinklers, the kids had a blast cooling off and running through them. The park is well laid out with shaded areas and great for families. A fun, educational, and refreshing day out, highly recommended!

This is such an extraordinary place to go. There's a vast amount of things to learn, and Animals to see. It took about an hour to walk around the park, but was very easy for me even with a bad hip. The grizzlys were super interactive as well. Definitely worth the drive. I'll be coming back with my kids.

We visited late on a hot July afternoon and only had 1.5 hrs to tour. As expected, it was hit and miss with seeing the animals in their enclosures, and at that time of day we had the park pretty much to ourselves. That said, everything appeared to be well laid out, well signed, and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the birds of prey exhibit, and noted there is a family farm where visitors can interact with farm animals. Judging from the sandwich board sign of the day’s activities it is better to arrive in the morning to take advantage of feedings and demonstrations.

The best experience in Tk’emlúps. Sharing an important history that we must never forget. Thank you.

Jackie gave our group one of the best tours we’ve been on. Educational, insightful, meaningful and filled with passion, we are so grateful for our time with Jackie. Thank you Jackie for answering all our questions. Highly Recommend going on a guided tour!

Very interesting exhibition in two galleries with a third one to come (was under construction). One can see the passion and effort going into this museum of Secwépemc history and culture. It's worth a visit for sure.

Very much enjoyed this museum. Two smallish galleries with a third opening very soon. I would definitely go back once that opens as it will be focussed specifically on the residential school. The existing galleries are more specially about pre-contact history. I think it is so important to become knowledgeable about all of this history. I recommend making this museum part of your stay in Kamloops.

Very poor museum... Not worth a dollar... Two small rooms with few items. We were the only visitors and none of the ten people there offered any explanation. And cherry on top of the cake, they managed to drill some holes in the wall while we were there.... Too expensive for what it is... Not to be recommended

A really lovely museum about the culture and way of living of the Secwepemc. The display is great and with a lot of explanations. The 3rd room is all about the time where kids were brought to schools and taken from their families. Which is very sad to read but good explained as well. We really loved this museum!

Enjoyed this museum a lot. Beautiful displays and stories sharing precontact and postcontact events, including the horror of residential schools.

The road into the west campground is horrendous and needs to be fixed. Plus the boat launch is ridiculously shallow and needs some TLC. Love the lake if that's any consolation.

Very nice spot. Peaceful. Serene. Only complaint is sites are not very level. But overall amazing spot.

Friendly staff, and the restaurant has good food. Lovely lake, great fishing. Their tap/drinking water comes from the lake, and tastes of fish and swamp. The coffee and tea are affected as well. Next visit I will bring more of my own water!

Best fishing lake in BC. You need a boat because there are few places to wade and trees stop you from shore casting. In May/June you can't miss with trolls, flys, or bait. Provincial sites are fine and they have a nice boat launch but it is way better if you can get into one of the sites at the resort. $30/night/site gives you a pool, store, hot showers. Great quad trails nearby and lots of smaller lakes to explore. I do a week every year plus a couple of weekends if I can make it work.

Wonderful facilities and fishing. UPDATE: Park Operators, Barry and Paul, are excellent for the 2023 season. I have never seen the park look so well kept, have been attending Roche Provincial for 15+ years.

My favorite medium sized lake in BC. So many amazing fishing trips here. For me it really is a World Class Fly Fishing Lake!! The sites do not get raked and the fire pits do not get emptied. When I PAY for a site I like it to start like I leave it...... CLEAN. With that said there is toilet paper in the outhouses and they pick up the bear proof garbage and your money without fail.

Some of the best lakes in the region for fly fishing. Roche, Black, Horseshoe, all fished very well, but Frisken was slow and high algae bloom with few fish this season. Large open campsites, but very busy. Resort is nice with reasonably good food in their restaurant, and lots of boats to rent.

Christie Falls is not just a destination, it’s an experience. The journey through the forest is adventurous and thrilling, with steep slopes, narrow paths, and rope sections that demand both caution and excitement. The trail is definitely treacherous in parts, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Every step through the rugged terrain builds anticipation, and then, out of nowhere, you’re greeted with the breathtaking view of the falls. The cascading water surrounded by lush greenery is absolutely mesmerizing. It feels untouched, wild, and pure, a perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. It was also amazing to witness rock climbers scaling the cliffs nearby, adding to the vibrant and adventurous vibe of the area. Christie Falls is one of those places that make you feel truly alive. If you enjoy hiking, a bit of adrenaline, and spectacular views, this spot should be high on your list. Highly recommend taking the journey, nature doesn’t get much better than this.

WARNING June 1st 2025. GRIZLY BEAR spotted living in the large cave at bottom of the falls. ANOTHER BEAR (unknown kind) living in the smaller cave at the bottom of the falls.

The hike from the trailhead to the falls is really two separate sections. The first portion is ~1km from the trailhead to the cliff. This portion has had some recent maintenance as numerous fallen trees have been cut and moved away from the path. This portion also contains small creek crossings with some small crafty bridges created to assist. Second portion from the cliff down is a more challenging section. This portion begins with ropes to assist down this steep section. I recommend that you do not bring a big dog or small Children down this portion. This was too steep for my Bernese Mountain Dog to attempt. 4X4 to the trailhead recommended. The road get worse the further you travel, and contains 1 relatively steep uphill section.

Absolutely gorgeous place a little bit of a harder hike in near the end of the trail. The road for the last 20km is worse than a logging road, but worth it.

This was a great hike. Keep your eyes 👀open for a white sign that says "Christie Falls" Just before the turn. Good parking, short walk in over the streem crossings then down a steep short section to the falls. Or stay up top too and walk to the end 🐕. The trail is recommended for people that have climbing gear or are decent free climbers for the short section. Otherwise just amazing. I wish we packed a bigger lunch. 😊

The hike was fun and interesting. You have to climb down to the waterfall using ropes and vice versa. However, the waterfall itself was underwhelming with little water coming down. Probably because it was the end of the summer. Maybe if we go here earlier it might have been better. Still, it’s a place worth to visit. *Update: I went here again in late spring and the waterfall was fantastic!! Pictures below.

The drive in to the trail head was more challenging/off roady than we expected. I wouldn't attempt it unless you have an SUV or other 4 wheel drive vehicle. The actual hike is pretty easy and short bur requires climbing down a very steep clifr with the assistance of ropes that have been tied by previous visitors. Still some amazing views from the top of the falls if you arent up for the scramble down/up.

A great place for hikes and different levels of activity. You can mountain bike, hike straight up to the viewpoint, walk up a paved road or take trails that aren’t as steep. The different viewpoints of the lake and Kelowna are spectacular! Great photo ops!

Peaceful place for hiking. Walking and Bicycle both Hike are awesome. The view from the top of the mountain is just eye pleasing. It's worth climbing after reaching the till the peak. If take apex trail and then follow the ogopogo trail that's breathtaking experience. There are also washrooms 🚻 in middle of trails and dustbins are available in same way.

A very beautiful hike, good for all skill levels. I am relatively new to hiking and tried the apex trail, it was a bit challenging, and the view at the summit is incredible! Highly recommend anyone living in Kelowna to do this hike.

Great view. It has an asphalt portion and rest is well kept trails that are suitable for biking and hiking. Good for short or long walks and you can choose the intensity of your walk by choosing different paths

Wonderful panoramic views! There are two points scenic points for pictures, the first one (below) it's easy to arrive but the second one (up) needs a hike of 30 minutes or bike cause the road for cars is closed. Our hike to the second point of view was really tired since that day was very hot (32 degrees) but worth it because the photos are incredible.

A grind up but very doable and short. The trails down are a ton of fun. The switchbacks can be challenging but overall black diamond. Highly recommend to intermediate bikers looking for a downhill challenge. Lots of other trails to try out and is great to keep attempting the same trails. Never gets old.

The view point is terrific. The vehicle was allowed till the first view point and after that had to trek to the other view points. The view of Kelowna city is amazing. Would love to visit there once more. Even though it was scorching hot, the breeze near the view points made it very cool. Gates close by 8pm. Would appreciate if the timings are extended during summer as this a very beautiful place to view sunset across the Okanagan Valley.

Really beautiful place to hang out. Especially in the warm evenings after dinner. Every time we are out there the waterfront park area is a visit. Really clean, really friendly and just a wonderful place. Highly recommend the area. You won’t be disappointed.

This is a really beautiful place, like a portrait. The roads and walkways are designed beautifully that you can enjoy the nature flawlessly. You can do lots of activities, like walking, biking, boating, etc. Swimming is not allowed in this area, I believe. You will be amazed after visiting this site. Parking is paid and sometimes hard to find a suitable spot.

Truly amazing place to explore. Lots of shops on the waterfront. Great places to grab a coffee and enjoy the views. Appears to have lots of entertainment going on. Beautiful flowers and we'll maintained gardens. You can rent water skis and if you feel like some adventure parasailing. Only down side, there is lots of homeless people wondering around. But never felt threaten or was harassed. There was an abundance of wild life to see. If you are in the area totally worth the trip. Grab a great local coffee and and enjoy the views.

The entire waterfront and park area is a great spot to visit. Plenty of green space to enjoy the sun and amazing water view as well. The water near this specific spot near the fountain stinks a little bit since it's probably not circulated or cleaned regularly. Plenty of cheap parking nearby, so that's a plus too.

Beautiful place located on the Okanagan lake and the heart of Kelowna , Beautiful park with great trails. Amazing beaches in a couple locations for picking the right beach for some family fun in the sun. Many spots for picnicing and relaxing

Great area to spend a nice day. Good scenery, numerous eating places. Boat show was hosted by the yacht club this weekend, which was a chance to explore their newish building.

Very peaceful & serene vibes. Even if you are not a local & just passing by from highway. Getting a vibe of Kelowna through visiting this park is recommended

Overall was a great experience, I wanted to be challenged with the different difficulties they had for courses. Felt like a full body workout but in the most fun way! Had to mentally push myself through the fear, which I thought was cool :). Amazing views of the mountains and the valley, stopped a couple times during courses to take some pictures. Only rated it 4/5 because I thought the zipline part would be more than just 3 short lines. Learned then that this place is definitely obstacle course dominant. Would highly recommend for a good mental booster and workout :).

I took my hiking buddy here on the 8th of August, (did this 6 years ago) we did a lot of adventures but this was another level of adventure for her, she had a blast. What I can recommend is bring gloves to protect your hands from blisters, there's a lot of obstacles, unfortunately 5 were closed cause the tree died but they did put more zip lining to enjoy. Staff were friendly and nice, we had a blast. We wil come back again next year. (From Alberta)

This was by far the best hidden gem no one told us but we just find out in Kelowna... everyone with kids MUST visit this place. I felt like the owner himself don't want to be a millionaire.. 😊no ads .. poor signage and roads.. hats off to the lovely staff..

We attended the Scare Walk for Halloween and let me tell you I have never been so scared in my life!!! It was the best Halloween experience I had, I actually felt like I was in a horror movie….and I don’t get scared easily! The props were great, the walk through the forest was long, and the live actors did a great job scaring the 💩 out of us!

This trail was terrifying! My friend and I screamed the whole way. The staff were incredibly helpful; besides scaring us, they were also very kind and gave us directions. The path was a bit dark, but perfect for Halloween. One of the staff members told us that this haunted park is the scariest in Kelowna. I totally agree! 😂 You definitely have to come here for a unique Halloween experience! 🎃

This place is all about outdoor adventure in the trees. The park has high ropes courses, climbing routes, and zip lines that range from kid-friendly to pretty challenging, so it works well for families or groups with mixed ages. Staff are friendly and safety-focused, which helps if you’re new to this kind of activity. Parking is available on-site and usually straightforward, though it can get busy in peak summer. There aren’t hiking trails or camping here—it’s more of a half-day activity spot rather than a full park experience. No big amenities like washrooms beyond the basics, so plan accordingly. The views of the surrounding canyon are a nice bonus, and it’s close enough to combine with a visit to the Myra Canyon Trestles if you want a full day out.

It was awesome! 7 courses of varying difficulty and beautiful views. Very friendly and welcoming staff!

Huge beautiful lake spanning Kelowna, Lake country and Vernon, BC Lots of boat launches and beaches. Downtown Pier is amazing by the marina and great night life.. good vibe

Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, is a long, deep freshwater lake stretching about 135 km between Penticton and Vernon. It’s a hub for recreation, offering swimming, boating, wineries along its shores, and scenic beaches in Kelowna and surrounding communities. The lake is also steeped in legend, said to be home to “Ogopogo,” a mythical lake creature that has become a local cultural icon.

Honestly speaking, Kelowna has nothing to offer, specifically during the time we went " September end". Price are hiked at hotels but did not give me value for money. Driving along the lake was good feeling, but wont be fun for othera

Very big and beautiful with lots of sandy beaches, lots of beautiful access. If you're into boats, many boat rental places available near by to get on to the lake. We rented an airbnb near the lake and it was wonderful. Very clean, the water looks very beautiful.

Love this area of the valley... It's beautiful no matter where u look.. Stunner! Happy adventures beautiful humans

Very beautiful lake, amazing gardens, fantastic wineries, wonderful water sports

It's a beautiful lake,many beautiful home, boats,planes,from Vernon to pentdition,I paddle the whole in 3 days it was amazing,

There is a beautiful view, a large parking lot. There is a restaurant and a shop where wine is sold, there is a very beautiful interior and polite staff. But the prices seem too high to me. Although there were a lot of people, several buses with tourists from Asia.

Mix feelings about this one. Definitely one of the best views in town. The food was good but quite expensive. Unfortunately, as it is a winery, the wines did not impress me. Located only a few minutes from downtown Kelowna, you'll find a huge, heated terrace overlooking lake Okanagan, perfect to watch the sunset. You cannot beat that. Inside decor is... a tad weird. Not sure what is going on with all the sculptures and pyramid references? We started with a wine tasting. They know their product but, except for their version of a champagne, I did not find anything of interest. The food was a redemption, I must say. Our server was sweet, and we had overall a great night. It is just so expensive for what it is. I guess you pay for the views? I've been told it's a very popular place, but we went on a Friday, and we were maybe nine people total, and our group counted for six. Oh well.

This place offers great views and good photo ops while you visit this winery. Famous for its pyramid cellar, they offer a broad selection of whites, reds, sparklings, and ice wines. They can offer you a tasting of their product free of charge provided you buy a bottle. Additional wine tasting options and a winery tour is optional by reservations.

Me and my family wanted to stop by to have a taste of wine. We were enjoying the view and how nice the place was. Unfortunately, we felt horribly mistreated by the man working at the tasting room. We wanted to have a taste before buying, so we asked what’s something he recommends and what their best selling wine was. We waited for his reply, however, it seems though he was ignoring us on purpose and acted like we weren’t there. A few minutes go by and we see him giving out wine to two ladies who just came by dressed gracefully. I’m not assuming but it felt as if it had to do with the way we look. I hate to be look down upon especially when it comes to customer services like these. Customers should be valued and treated equally, it’s basically called human decency.

This was my very first wine tasting experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The host was extremely knowledgeable, cheerful, and engaging throughout the tasting. She not only provided excellent service but also shared educational information in a way that was easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. Her energy and professionalism made the experience both fun and memorable. I left feeling not only impressed by the wines but also grateful for the outstanding service. Highly recommend!

What an amazing evening at Summerhill! The food was great and the service was one of the best I've had in my life! Thanks to Joey, the best!!! Even during a very busy night we felt taking care of. Not enough people take the time to write a positive review and I really wanted to share my experience. Thanks for the beautiful memory.

Derek was very friendly and explained the whole wine tasting as we had them. The pyramid is very interesting. Excellent location. Will return for sure.

A very well maintained campground. We went here for a night with kids. The campsite is very clean and spacious. The washrooms at the campground are equipped with flush toilets and are hygienic. Night sky view is amazing as the trees in campsite are spaced. The lake has a very nice beach and a great day out picnic spot with groundhogs roaming around in the park. All in all a great peaceful place to be at.

Walking in this beautiful park during off-season is so peaceful and calming. The park attendants have done an amazing job of keeping the place clean and natural. I also love the fact that I am a senior , and they have some outhouses open in each loop.

The campground was so beautiful! The park rangers were super sweet and helpful which made our stay more enjoyable. There was a large group that was VERY loud during quiet hours and playing music late into the night. They were so loud that four different parties had complained about them. They also left food out which is a big no no when camping with the risk of bears. I applaud the park rangers for how well they handled the situation judiciously by removing the group from the campground.

Looking for an amazing Provincial Park camping spot? You have to go visit Monck! We arrived mid-day and the check-in staff was so friendly and kind. We went and set-up our site and we luckily got one with a view to the lake that had a little path down to a beach. Everything was clean and well-kept! The site was on the larger side which was great! The facilities were well maintained and clean. The park staff came by to ensure we were all set-up okay and came around later asking if we needed more firewood. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short as I came down with food poisoning but we want to come back for a full stay soon!

Super nice campground. All the toilets (including the outhouses) are flush toilets and kept very clean (just be aware there aren't showers). The site hosts are all lovely. Unfortunately our trip was very bad timing because it was in the middle of a heat wave (38°!), their water system was having issues so it wasn't clean water (okay for washing dishes but not okay for ingesting) and the lake had toxic algae blooms so swimming wasn't recommended. All of these things are obviously out of their control and not permanent problems. The only reason I took one star is because I wish the spots were more shaded.

One of our favorite places to camp (if not our top fave). Hosts are awesome and friendly, everything is always clean and well cared for, sites have space and trees between, noise curfew is well enforced to make it a great experience for families and those who enjoy a quieter setting. The algae bloom was cleared when we got there which was amazing!

The lake has algae in it that makes it unsafe to swim and fish when it is blooming. If you are planning on booking a site here and want somewhere to fish and swim, I would suggest booking elsewhere. We went while it was about 35°C weather and had to go to other lakes each day which took away from the camping experience. Other notes: - The tap water also unfortunately had manganese in it making it unsafe for consumption. - The campsites do not have many trees so the sites get a lot of sun. I would suggest bringing a tarp or multiple tarps and a lot of rope just to help make some shaded spaces on your site. - The park staff/rangers were very helpful and nice. - The lawn/beach/picnic area is beautiful and would be perfect for lawn games.

Econic winery high on a West Kelowna hillside. Like it's name, it's as though you are entering a missionary. A tall bell tower rings for 5 minutes at noon, and shorter periods every fifteen minutes. To the right as you enter is the wine and gift shop. It has rooms for dedicated tastings, where we had a tasting with hor d'oeuvres, cumulating with a tasting of the iconic Occulus - which received a 100 point rating, and consistent ratings in the mid-90s. The tasting included Sauvignon Blanc, rose, merlot from the Terroir Collection, and Quatrain from the Legacy collection. Our favorite was the merlot - with distinctive merlot on the nose and taste. Our guide Mia was very friendly and informative. The shop had things you don't expect to see in a wine shop - luggage priced at $25 k, a book about Milan,... You get the idea. Classy...More for show. To the left on entering is the restaurant.All the tables in the restaurant have a lake view. We had a wonderful lunch (See the review). The grounds have a number of statues. Lending to the elevated experience. BTW Mission Hills was selected Winery by NWAC, the 7th time in the 25 year history of the awards. sected

I visited Mission Hill Winery because everyone kept telling me it’s a must-see in Kelowna, and honestly, it lived up to the reputation. The service, the interior, and of course the wine were all excellent—everything felt refined and thoughtfully curated. The only thing to note is that the price range is definitely on the higher side compared to other wineries. And while the staff who recommend the wines are very friendly and knowledgeable, I did feel a slight sense of being rushed at times, probably because it’s such a popular spot. There’s also a separate VIP tasting area, and seeing it from outside really makes you want to try it someday. It has that “I want to experience that too” kind of pull, especially because the entire setup is visible from outside. What I loved was how they display a wide range of wines—from premium to more affordable options—all arranged beautifully so you can see everything in one glance. The overall decoration and presentation are incredibly well done. One thing I wished for was being able to enjoy a glass of wine outdoors. There’s a park-like area with a stunning view of the lake, sky, and landscape. It would’ve been amazing to drink wine out there, but even without that, the indoor experience is still lovely. Whether you enjoy it inside or outside really just depends on what kind of wine experience you’re looking for.

Went to the Chefs tasting and pairing dinner for our anniversary and were blown away by the food, service and views. Sean our waiter was fantastic and food was next level. Incredibly paired with Mission Hill wines. Personalized welcome card for our anniversary and signed by the whole staff was really memorable. Well done team!

My husband , my sister and I all had such a beautiful experience at Mission Hill. From start to finish our server named Guy led with such class and poise! Very knowledgeable, friendly and polite service. Simon also popped in whenever he passed our table, topped up waters and overall we had a great conversation and vibe with both of them. We wish them both all the best in their future plans. The Mission Hill property is in top knotch shape and very picturesque. Looking forward to future visits here!

We had an amazing time at the guided tasting tour! Simon gave us a fascinating tour of the winery, showing us the bell tower and the wine cellar, and we even got lucky enough to spot a little deer along the way. Kiran and another lovely staff member led our tasting session. Kiran was especially wonderful, patiently answering all of our questions—some of which were quite out-of-the-box—about red and white wines. As people who aren’t very familiar with wine, we gained so much enjoyment and interest from their explanations. Both Simon and Kiran were extremely well-mannered, friendly, and welcoming. Their passion and professionalism truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I’ve visited several times this year, and I have to say—I was never a fan of Canadian wines… until Mission Hill. It’s an oasis in the desert. I’ve rarely encountered such sophisticated wines, and so consistently so. Even their most approachable bottles surpass many others around the world. Unlike so many wineries, Mission Hill’s pricing truly reflects quality: if the budget-friendly selections are sensational, the upper-tier bottles are nothing short of divine. During my first tasting, I was struck by the quiet depth of emotion these wines evoke for the wine romantic—a gentle stirring of memories, of great bottles shared with special people, of perfect pairings from years past. These beautiful wines are, in every sense, a treat for the soul.

Absolutely stunning winery. The architecture and design is grand. The interior store is warm and inviting - like walking into the living room on Christmas Day. Amazing energy. Shaylin walked us through a wine tasting and was 10/10.

Merritt downtown is a tourist destination. There is a very easy to find Visitor information. They provide a walking map to find Country & Western's Walk of Fame. The stars are framed upright, with handprint & signature (unlike Hollywood where you find them in a sidewalk). Some nice little shops and a bandshell that may have live music on weekends. Quaint little town but don't need more than a day or two stopover. It was 35-38C in July. Stay hydrated.

Super friendly staff! Cute nostalgic place with some souvenirs, local products, and donated knickknacks for sale. They also serve ice cream and have space for picnics out back.

Free charging here for your Tesla if the Tesla Chargers are out of order like today. You just need the standard adapter that came with your car.

we dropped in for information and were offered free coffee, lemonade and delicious home made baking (while it lasts). Lovely and knowledgeable staff, nice gifts made locally. A chance to meet some of the locals and start your trip to the interior with a friendly small town welcome.

Absolutely wonderful people, easily the most welcoming, friendly, and helpful info centre I have been to - which is saying something, as I've only ever had positive experiences with info centres! The ladies here really go above and beyond; they even, very kindly, mailed me something overnight when I forgot it behind after using the centre's bathroom, to ensure I would get it before I moved on to my next destination!

Amazing tourist info place with free lemonade and interesting things to see and buy. Stopped here to use the wash room (single stall) with the family and there was plenty to keep the interest while waiting my turn. :)

Extremely helpful. Benches in the back surrounded by a flower garden. Multiple picnic tables. Free wifi. Nice little spot.

Such an amazing experience! We had a little zipper with us and Fish & Eggs did an amazing job with him! Looking forward to the next time when we can do more lines!

Booked the morning of for 2 of us to do the full 6 line tour. Loads of fun, and the only thing you need is bravery to make the first step off the platform. Things that help are a strap to keep glasses on your face, keeping hair tied back under your helmet so you get a clear view, clothing with zippered pockets to avoid dropping items, and the ability to do a short hike back up to the top when done. Absolutely worth the price, and a terrific adventure to add to your to-do list!

Would recommend this place to anyone. Staff was amazing and was great to see the sights. Lots of beautiful views

Awesome experience! Views were fantastic. Kudos to guides Twig and Vulture! They were great - explained everything in detail, had awesome personalities, even went extra with my son that got cold feet last minute. Highly recommend. Just a heads up that the road is no longer paved about 1km coming up to the location.

Loved it. It seems kinda like a goofy thing to do, but the views are gorgeous, and it's damn fun flying through the air. The staff are wonderful tour guides as well as extremely safety conscious and thorough. I'll definitely bring visiting friends/family on this very cool adventure, at least so I can do it again and again and again. Luv it!

I'm scared of heights so decided to conquer my fear of it by going on the bucketlist lines.. the highest and longest/fastest lines they had. I loved it! And will definetly be going back the next time im in peachland to do all 6 lines.

Great place. Highly recommended. Just be prepared to drive for about 3 km on unpaved road.

Hardy Falls is a lovely spot to visit. The falls aren’t very big, but they run year-round, which makes it a nice stop in any season. In September, you can see lots of salmon swimming up the river, which is really special to watch. A peaceful place to enjoy nature and a nice short walk to the falls.

perfect little easy walk to the falls on a gravel path. You cross over multiple bridges with a beautiful stream meandering the whole walk. Takes approx 20 mins to the waterfall. The falls run all year & in mid Sept to Oct the Kokanee salmon are spawning. Parking is free, no fees & well maintained.

Easy walk. Shaded. Good trail with several bridges over Peachland Creek.

Great stop on the road, falls are about 5 mins away from the parking lot. But the coolest thing is to see the big salmons on the creek, so beautiful!!!

To get to the falls, there is a good little hike that can be done by very young kids or older folks. It's not much of a view really but it's still a nice time to spend with nature.

I enjoy visiting here in the summer and this was the first time going in the late winter. It looks so different with the trees empty and many frozen water formations including the falls. The different winter light also makes the canyon look different. As always a short pleasant stroll.

Very easy walk to reach the falls, it takes less than 15 minutes. We crossed several bridges and took the time to read the tags sharing some facts about the flora and fauna. Be advised that there are very few parking lots available at the entrance to the trail. For more pictures visit my IG (@kelledstyle) :-)

We had such a wonderful experience at Hillside Winery. The wine was excellent - so many great options to taste and enjoy. The customer service was just as impressive: warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the visit even better. We also tried the duck tacos and the scallops with pork belly, both were absolutely delicious! Such a great spot for good wine, tasty food, and friendly people. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful evening at Hillside Winery! We brought the kids along for dinner at their bistro and were impressed with how welcoming and accommodating the staff were. Service was excellent, the plating was beautiful, and every dish tasted amazing. The wine was a perfect complement to the meal, making it an all-around fantastic experience. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!

Went for both a wine Tasting and dinner at the bistro and WOW. Top notch service from both ends. Greg at the tasting room was extremely knowledgeable, funny and kind. Left with 3 bottles thanks to him! Dinner was fabulous with wonderful thoughtful dishes and great views to go along with it. It’s not summer without a trip to hillside.

We had our wedding here on September 13, 2025. Hillside Winery and Lisa were absolutely incredible. I can’t say enough positive things!. From the very beginning, Lisa was so easy to work with and made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it. The food, the service, the venue, the wine - everything was perfect. They made everything so easy and having the ceremony, dinner and evening reception all in one place was so great for our guests. We had so many compliments! Super easy to decorate as the venue itself is already so beautiful. It was an absolutely perfect day that I will never forget!

Amazing tasting, detailed explanation of each wine and the history of each along with the history of the winery, our taster Diane I think her name was, was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to taste some Okanagan wines!

Lovely restaurant with amazing food. We opted for the Thanksgiving menu and it was really tasty! Small portions of several dishes and we loved them all. The desert was outstanding and we kept mentioning for a few days after that. Our server, Sarah impressed us. We were a big group of fourteen people and she was quick to serve us all, did not mix up anything and was so cheerful throughout our dinner!

Went here summer 2024 with my wife. The food was AMAZING and so accommodating for us gluten free folk. The view was next level and we think we had the best seat in the house. We cannot wait to return on our next trip to Naramata.

We had an amazing time at Dirty Laundry ...the food, the wine & the atmosphere were all top notch. We enjoyed lunch with a view and had a great afternoon. Bob was a super host!!! Definitely worth the trip to Summerland!

Our visit was completely lovely from the moment we entered to room. Our tasting host was pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. She managed to host three separate tastings with ease and shared the winery story with the group of us. Her delivery was funny while informative. The winery decor cleverly plays up the dirty laundry theme.

I came up to the Okanagan with a girlfriend and she wanted to visit a winery. Out of all the wineries up here I chose Dirty Laundry for her to visit. I have brought family from Germany here, so I knew she would enjoy this one. The wine tasting was good and for only $6!!! Viktoria was very informative and super friendly, when we were looking to purchase wine she came and asked if we need helping with any of our choices. After we were done wine tasting we sat out on the patio to listen to live music and have some pizza. Oh was the pizza ever good!!! And the views and ambience on the patio were beautiful. When we left my girlfriend said to me, thank you so much for bringing me to this winery, I loved it!! So sounds like my choice of wineries to visit was perfect!

Absolutely incredible place. We arrived on our travels from Ottawa, to find out sadly that no dogs were allowed on the patio. Sherri the Manager was fantastic and found us a spot to accommodate us and Lewis our Golden Doodle. Moreover, she went above and beyond with a bottle of the Vineyards Pinot Gris - gratis. An amazing spot and great customer service Sherri and love the vineyard.

Wow, wuat a hidden gem and concept! Excellent ratings, tastings, wine, atmosphere, pizza and smokehouse. If you wine touring finish here! Smokehouse and pizza are very impressive. Staff excellent and trained, red wines are excellent. We will be back. It's a goto for Summerland wine tastings!

This is one of my favourite wineries, consistently great wine and always a welcoming atmosphere! Recently got to experience their patio and shared a bottle of wine and a pizza and honestly did not want to leave! Can’t wait to go back!!

This was our first time, and I'm totally coming back. The pizza was awesome, and the view from the patio was incredible. We had to wait for a table, so we did the wine tasting, and I'm so glad we did. It was fun trying new wines. I can't wait to go back.

Kettle Valley Rail Trail is a fun way to enjoy breathtaking scenery, learn a little history and get a workout. A newly opened addition to this ride toward Chute Lake is the Adra tunnel. Adra tunnel was built mostly by hand in the early 1900's. It is 483 meters, dark with some motion sensor lights and motion activated train sounds. The trail is rough in some places, however is worth it. We highly recommend this ride.

Lovely historical place to visit! you can spend the entire day here but we chose to be here for over an hour only! You can sense tje train chugging along ages ago and marvel at the labour put in! The trestles were destroyed in 2003 fire but rebuilt by the community! Do not miss!

What a fantastic bike ride. Definitely worth using the shuttle service provided by Hoodoo Adventures in Penticton to Myra Canyon and making it a full day. Or if you are short on time you can take the shuttle to Chute lake and go from there.

Stunning trail around the lakes which I think got even better (I did a short ride!) Lovely wineries for views and tastings along the way

Some parts are great but other sections are extremely sandy and impossible to ride your bike. BC government seems to be very proud of this rail trail and they say it’s suitable for bikes, but the sad reality is they are letting ATVs and motorbikes in the trail, which destroy the the ground. As long as these motorized vehicles keep running in the trail, the ground will become getting worse and worse.

Recommend the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. Know what section you want to go one as some sections can be a challenge.

Nice bike ride, not too hilly. Beautiful views!

Easy access and parking. Great staff. Worth the stop

Thank you for your friendly, inviting, and patient welcome. The staff helped above and beyond , answering every question in explicit detail, taking the time to really help. That was so much appreciated, and I'll be back when I need some more hiking advice. Thanks!

We cycled out purposefully to find out about wine tours. It was challenging to get the information we wanted. One would think that at a place like this you would get advice tailored to your desires. Not so much. And when I told the fellow that I had almost cut myself on some broken glass outside he seemed to take a very nonchallant attitude. We ended up just going on our own - self guided touring. Actually, the best way to tour the vineyards, I think, is to take a bicycle on the trails! That was amazing!!!

Stopped by here to pick up tickets to Fest-of-Ale and was really pleasantly surprised by the friendly and helpful staff. They had lots of helpful advice and some great resources for touring the surrounding wine country.

Eager to help with tailored information

The lady that was working was very friendly .and lots info and good prices .on some souvenirs. And as we where leaving the young man that worked there was coming to work. His co work said look i was just thinking you where going to miss our little dog ...

Awesome. This the BEST visitors centre. They were knowledgeable. Had an up to date list of local activities by day. Asked about our interests and length of time we were in the area. Then gave us a card with activities, date, time and directions.

My dog and I love walking around this park. The views are beautiful. There is lots to do here. The beach is lovely but dogs aren't allowed on the beach. I was very disappointed my last visit, however, as my disabled friends walker was stolen as soon as we left the park. When I drove back to retrieve it, was gone.

Are you having a rough day? Do yourself a favor and walk along the beach. If it's not the scenery, that never fails. It's the people, and don't forget the fury family members that are walking around with smiles, I kid you not. They take care of the park So you can take care of you. Let go of the problems that aren't serving you at the entrance, and take a deep breath. Welcome.

Such a beautiful place to go walking, and enjoy the beautiful views. I loved the exercise equipment, and how clean the bathrooms were, I greatly appreciated the heat in the bathroom. ❤️ This will definitely be one of our go to walking spots, when we visit family.

Nice facilities. Seems like a more secure lot than in post with the gentleman thats posted at the front with park info. Trails are great, views are great. Some property lines are not marked well with signage, possibly can walk onto private land if heading towards lake direction.

This park is awesome! Was here for an outrigger race event. Lots of space and big old trees for shade. The washrooms are pretty good. They have a snack shack by the washrooms. Parking is plenty. There's a spray park for the kiddos. The beach is fairly steep as there's a sharp drop off from shore. Highly recommend for an outdoor gathering.

Great park and beach. Some bonfire pits, volleyball area, Mexican food and Tickleberry's Ice Cream shop. Gondola, out door workout machines, basketball courts, playground, dragon boating, boating launch, soon to have Dragon Boat Pub, paddleboard/kayak rental spot. Lots to do and great place to relax for a bit or the day.

Park is nice and clean. Sand here is better than the okanagan lake. It's peaceful here and you can find some water activities during the weekend. There should be some rides or playarea for the kids.

Great hill, great terrain, and super fast lift lines. The triple chair especially. I have never had more than one person in front of me. Great variety of terrain, with some expert runs plenty of gladed skiing and it is a steep mountain. Ski patrol awesome, my daughter ended up with a spinal compression fracture they took great care of her we have been back many times since.

Hill was more than I was expecting. There were lots of nice steep pitches to keep you entertained. Snows was great, groomers were fast. With lifts in the mid 100s, I'll be hitting Apex up again.

For a skiing area with only 2 chairlifts, the amount of terrain accesed is absolutely huge! It feels more like a larger locals hill, not an international destination resort. The vibe is relaxed, the ticket pricing simple and clear, good steep runs at the top, friendly liftees, old school hand scanned tickets, beatiful views (you can see both Big White and mt Baldy from the top) . Would recommend to ski here for a couple days to try out all the runs.

Nice hill to go to if you are local. Not an easy hill! If you are new to snowsports, this might not be a hill to start on. Mostly groomed runs with lots of powder options.

Awesome rooms, awesome trails. Had a lot of fun definitely would do it again

We stayed for three nights in December of 2023. We could tell it had lots of potential, unfortunately the weather wasn't great for ski conditions at that point in the season. That said, the rooms in ski in ski out were amazing, the tubing was our favorite and the groomers were phenomenal. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious in the base area restaraunts. I hope to return for another trip with better snow and the skate loop open. *Returned December 2024 and had fun skiing the steeper terrain!

We went up at 3:30 wanting to skate in the loop that was open until 10pm. My boyfriend needed to rent skates and they told us that we could but we needed to return them by 4:00pm or 9am tomorrow. Because the skate loop is open until 10 we assumed there would be a drop box or someplace we could drop the skates off when we were finished with them as we were told on the phone. We travelled 2 hours from lake country to get there and with the lack of misinformation on the website and the cluelessness of the rental shop it was completely disappointing. For an activity that is open until 10pm there should be some sort of service open until then as well. We left extremely dissatisfied and disappointed.

A little hidden gem with lots of history to tell. The at producing mine in North America m. The movies section is nice too to learn about how the town could be turned into any other American village

I love the driving in sunshine valley along the Highway 3 from Hope - Princeton- Osoyoos, one of the Most Spectacular Drives in BC

Visited this place twice and loved it, lot of steep stairs but the view is amazing. Nice touch with allowing to go inside the mine.

This is an undiscovered and underrated gem of an attraction. If you’re a travel addict, you would love this place (and the hike up to the mine houses at the very top of the mountain). Unfortunately we arrived just a bit after closing time, but the museum guy saw us wondering around and we talked a bit. Even in the brief history he gave us, it was fascinating to learn about the history of the place and think of the engineering that went into the construction (starting 1903 on a really steep mountain) of the two mines. Mindblowing. It’s a shame more people don’t stop by. The town itself is down to 240 people from 700 at its peak, but we saw some really cute and artsy houses, so even just walking around was idyllic.

Super cool to look at! Can't wait for summer so we can go climb up and look around.

A good tour if you can climb down then up 500 steps. Great history.

What a great museum! Very passionate volunteers. We learned a lot and had fun. Thank you!

If you're making a wine tour stop in Oliver, Tinhorn Vineyards needs to be at the absolute top of your list. This place is a solid five stars, and for good reason! First off, let's talk about the setting. The breathtaking views of the valley from their spot are just incredible. You could honestly spend hours just soaking it all in with a glass in hand. It's truly picturesque and adds so much to the whole experience. Then there's the wine itself – absolutely delicious wine, of course! They have a fantastic selection, and every sip was a pleasure. You can tell a lot of care goes into their production. And finally, the staff. They are truly *knowledgeable. You can ask them anything about the wines, the grapes, the region, and they're happy to share their expertise. They make the tasting experience informative and genuinely enjoyable without being pretentious. They offer the perfect trifecta: stunning scenery, fantastic wine, and wonderful people to guide you through it. It's an essential stop for any wine lover in Oliver!

The vineyard is absolutely beautiful...which is why we went back that evening for dinner. We started out very impressed. We were greeted by the most friendly gentleman, he was both professional and welcoming. We both commented what a nice person he was when we sat down at our table. From there our experience went downhill unfortunately. Our servers name was Sam and she could not have been more disinterested... there was no personalized service explaining any of the wines or entrees, she kept running from the table with comments like " I'll be back". It appeared a couple came in that she knew personally and she spent time visiting with them while we were waiting to be attended to. If it had not been for the pleasant busboy clearing dishes and bringing out our water, wine and food we would have been sitting a lengthy amount of time in between. Very disappointed... our experience and evening ended with us having to ask for our bill and then had to ask another hostess for the machine to pay the bill. Not the experience we expected considering we had been to the Burrowing Owl and Hester Creek Vineyards and were treated with such gracious staff. We do visit Osoyoos often and we will definitely try the restaurant again. Hopefully we have better service next time. Customers spend a lot of money when they go to these type establishments ...service is a large part of the experience. Thanks to the rest of the staff and wonderful food we do recommend trying this restaurant...grounds are stunning!! 🍷🍷🍷

We've been to a zillion wineries over the last 40 years, and I'm not even exaggerating that this is the best we ever went to. We had a terrific time from when we stepped through the door, to our tastings, to our wonderful meal at their restaurant. Betty Ann was terrific helping us with our tastings. We sat outside and enjoyed a very casual environment and terrific view as we were allowed to take our time and savour each selection of three wines each. When we were done, we went to the restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful pizza, possibly the best Marguerita pizza we've ever had. This is a compliment since we've eaten pizza in Italy and this was easily just as good. The tomato sauce, the crust, and the mozzarella were incredibly flavorful. Not to mention the views were absolutely astounding. Jamie was our server and he was incredible, great guy, lots of fun. This was one of the best days of our entire 2-week road trip through BC. Thanks to everybody at this location and the staff for making us a really wonderful wine tasting and meal. We bought a full box of wine to show our appreciation!

Went for the science of stemware tasting. It was wonderful. Very informative and absolutely crazy how the right glass for the wine can make it taste so much better. Thank you for turning me into a true wine snob now!!!

We had an outstanding experience at Tin Horn during a recent wine tasting, thanks largely to our server Pamela, whose warm, welcoming demeanor set a relaxed tone from the moment she greeted us. She paired solid knowledge with approachable explanations, and her enthusiasm was contagious; you could tell she genuinely cared that we left happy and informed, making the visit memorable and highly recommendable.

The building was beautiful, from outside and inside. Did not spend too much time inside the main building as the lady who approached us quickly suggested my wife and I to go for lunch at the adjacent building. Nice suggestion but we were kind of hoping for some wine tasting and walk around in the property before eating something. That gave the impression she did not want to spend time with us, maybe? Anyways, we went to the restaurant. A male server (sorry, won't be able to remember his name) assisted us with a corner patio table facing all the vineyards around, great service and great wine suggestions. This was June 2025.

We were very excited to visit Tinhorn Creek and it did not disappoint. The views on the patio were wonderful and the variety of wines we were able to taste offered a lovely experience for all. I highly recommend making a reservation for the wine tasting and booking a premium tasting is best. Our group was very pleased and left with many bottles at the end of our experience. Thank you Jesse for taking care of us!

Our absolute favorite winery! We always end up buying a full case for ourselves and another for friends — and then keep ordering online, because their wines are the only thing that make those long Saskatchewan winters survivable (honestly, they should be prescribed for it!). Every wine is a gem: the unforgettable Sage white, their exquisite dessert wines, and the excellent dry reds that are impossible to resist. Tastings are free and include everything, so you really get to explore their whole range. Anna and her sister are true enthusiasts who know their craft inside out — warm, welcoming, and full of passion for what they do. Every visit feels special, and you will definitely not leave empty-handed. We absolutely adore this place!

This place was such a cool and unique experience! The wines were really different and we loved it. From the moment we got there, everything was great—the rose gardens and statues were beautiful. Our hostess was awesome and made it a really fun time. Definitely worth a visit!

This winery is the bar every other winery should aspire to. The owner was both entertaining and extremely informative. She is so passionate about her wines! Obviously she is adventurous in her different combinations for her wines. Hands down, the best wines anywhere. Thank you for a fun tasting.

My boyfriend’s family and I had such a wonderful experience here. We went for a tasting, as we found out they have a special selection of wines, specifically fortified wines. John was extremely knowledgeable and had such a great sense of humor. He had us laughing and really enjoying our time there. We were so impressed with the wide selection of dessert wines. Every single one was delicious, and had unique properties, and reflected high standards for their production process. We won’t share how many we purchased ;) They definitely have our business! It was so nice to sit on the bench outside, take in the view, and enjoy the sounds of the water. Thank you John! We will be back!

We stumbled upon this lovely winery for a spontaneous tasting and had no idea what a treat we were in for. The wines were exceptional — beautifully balanced and full of character — but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner. Knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely entertaining, they brought warmth and wit to every pour. It was the perfect ending to an already great weekend.

Silver Sage is absolutely a standout winery! The stunning grounds- with beautiful roses and a tranquil pond- create a breathtaking setting. We enjoyed a generous tasting of 13 fruit-forward wines with no fee, guided by a witty and knowledgeable server who kept us laughing throughout. Honestly, I could have taken home a bottle of every wine…. they were all that good! We ended up buying four bottles. Don’t miss this gem- hands down our favourite winery in Osoyoos!

Love this place! 💛 The team is super friendly and professional, and everything runs so smoothly. Their wines are absolutely delicious — the Pinot Blanc is light and crisp, like taking a bite of a white nectarine 🍑, and the Gewürztraminer with sage is so unique and aromatic. Definitely one of my favorite wineries in the Okanagan! 🍷

We came here as reccomended by several other wineries so our expectations were raised, but the tasting itself fell short. Maybe it's because the tasting was complimentary, but the experienced felt very detached and rushed, as if he was waiting for us to quickly finish each sip so we could move on. We ended up buying some bottles so we definitely enjoyed the wine! Just not so much the tasting experience. They have a beautiful space outside where you can sit, sip, and enjoy a boardgame or two.

We had a great time at the winery during a cooking class. Chef Andrew Scott was fantastic, and the food was delicious. The wine pairing was wonderful! We will definitely be back.

Best time ever This Winery is awesome, Roger has been a staple at this facility, the kids will never forget this trip Amazing time Highly recommended this place to ALL your family and friends

We had a reservation at another winery and found them to be closed on arrival. Upon deciding to reroute to Hester Creek, we told them of our situation and they found time to fit us into a private tasting in their Garland room. The hospitality, professionalism and knowledge of the team was absolutely stellar. Shoutout to Susan for being a legendary host. The wines here are fantastic, there is something for everyone. I personally always come back for the Judge and Garland.

Free samples of white and red wines. Very good. Bought a couple bottles of our favorites

Amazing winery a must stop! Beautiful view and amazing service Pam gave us the best tasting highly recommend. Ask about their wine club 🍷

Recently enjoyed a 2 day stay at the Villas on the property and experienced a premium tasting with Brett. The wines are superb, our service was so excellent and the vibe is incredible. Sincere thanks to the entire Hester Creek winery team from Rob and me 🥂😃

Dachshund Races were so much fun; The staff were friendly and helpful. The wine is good and the weinery food truck provided a tasty dog. The atmosphere was family oriented and we had such a good time

We had the most incredible experience at Road 13 Winery with Leah, Lead Wine Ambassador. Our tasting in the cave was nothing short of magical — the atmosphere was stunning, intimate, and truly memorable. The charcuterie board was beautifully presented and paired perfectly with the sensational wines. Leah’s depth of knowledge, warmth, and easy conversational style made the experience both informative and fun. She has a gift for making you feel welcome while guiding you through an unforgettable tasting journey. I’ve visited this winery 3 years in a row and am always impressed! Thank you again, for another memorable year! Cheers!!

A Premier Wine Tasting at Road 13 Winery Our visit to Road 13 Winery in Oliver on Friday, August 5, 2025 was nothing short of exceptional, offering not only a superb tasting experience but also some of the most stunning views in the Okanagan Valley. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the manager, Sarah, whose welcoming demeanor set a wonderful tone for our afternoon. She expertly guided us to a private corner window seat, which offered a breathtaking, panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards and the rolling valley below. It was the perfect spot to begin our tasting journey. Our Wine Ambassador for the day, Jackson, truly made the experience memorable. His passion for the Road 13 offerings was infectious, and he captivated us with his deep knowledge and engaging storytelling about each vintage. The curated wine selections were a testament to the winery's commitment to quality, and the entire experience felt like a fantastic value, a rare combination of top-tier service and exceptional wines at a great price. As a result, we couldn't resist leaving with a bottle of the 2020 John Oliver 5th Element Syrah, a perfect souvenir to relive the experience at home. As a pleasant surprise, we were lucky enough to visit during a special event featuring The Wienery food truck. The collaboration between the winery and the food truck was a highlight, as it allowed us to enjoy our gourmet hot dogs right in the tasting room. This unique pairing enhanced the relaxed atmosphere and added a fun, unexpected bonus to our day. Our visit to Road 13 Winery was a masterclass in hospitality and a must-do for any wine lover. We can't wait to return.

Came down with our doxies today to race and enjoy the events. With 3 doxies and my wife with a brace on her leg. Your staff including the lovely Croatian lady who was over from Liquidity helping with things, they immediately recognized we could maybe use a little help. With kindness and grace, they stepped up as soon as we got out of the truck and checked if we could use some assistance getting down to the event area. We had a really nice time. Your staff saw to it. It’s a special time when your staff engage with your visitors and clients at the genuine level we encountered. Please see that they get our thanks. They were the treat of our day.

If you haven't been, and looking for a great experience with an amazing wine host. Check out Road 13 and Princess Leah the lead wine ambassador, she's is always a bundle of joy. If you like whites the Viognier is one try.

We continue to be members of Road 13 due to the phenomenal service of Leah. We were there a couple times in August and her knowledge, experience and enthusiasm bubbled up the energy on the whole table. She takes the time to teach, get to know us and tell us how we can pair wines when we return home. The wines are excellent, some of our very favourite in the area. Cheers to Leah and Road 13. Best winery!

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Road 13 Winery, all thanks to Giselle. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. Her energy is warm, genuine and effortlessly engaging. She walked us through the tasting with so much knowledge and passion that every sip felt like part of a story. You can tell she loves what she does and it makes the entire experience unforgettable. She even gave us personalized recommendations based on our preferences and they were spot on. Giselle is a true gem and the kind of person who makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re visiting Road 13, ask for her, you won’t regret it.
