This is a very pretty area to visit if you are ever in Creston British Columbia. The Kootenay River runs through this valley on its way into the United States and through the Middle of Bonners Ferry Idaho. Enjoy the many paths and all of the wildlife while you're here and don't forget your camera, the scenery is amazing. As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

I bought a six pack of kokanee cans at maverik in Mead Washington last night. I have a sensitivity to soaps and detergents and there was way too much soaps and or detergents in that beer!!! Now Im suffering the consequences. Please have your staff and crew rinse and scrub away the soaps you use much more thoroughly!! There shouldnt be any soap in beer!! Do your employees know the difference between concentrate soaps and non concentrate??? I can tell you it was the most rediculous amount of soaps/detergents ive ever consumed in beers. Get it together people!!!!

Amazing atmosphere and wine. Great way to buy local Canadian products. Staff were amazing. Shout out to our server Lorna who was such a friendly and amazing person explaining the wines beautiful areas of Creston in detail. Keep up the good work.

Was a very cold feeling walking into the tasting room. Donna, the taster lady, was just going through the motions and explaining the wines like she was reading it from a sheet. 4 wines, 5 minutes tops. Felt unwanted and rushed. Bought 1 wine as it was good, but the staff are not personable. I suggest if you like the wines just buy them and skip the interaction with the winery.

Skimmerhorn Winery in Creston is a fantastic destination for wine enthusiasts! The wine tasting experience was exceptional, offering a superb selection of wines that were truly enjoyable. The food was delicious and paired perfectly with the wines, enhancing the overall experience. The scenery from the patio is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views overlooking the valley and vineyards that create a serene and picturesque atmosphere.

I love coming here every year when I visit my parents. The scenery is beautiful and I find this place to be very relaxing. I wish sangria was always on offer though and I miss when they used to have the full bistro for lunch. I think the wine tasting used to be free, but if I’m not mistaken I think they charge now for tastings.

What a lovely place to visit in Creston! We were fortunate to have a sunny day so we could sit on the patio and enjoy a fall day. The view from the patio is lovely with rolling hills stretching south to the border and the fall colours just starting. We had a wine tasting one afternoon and came back the next day for lunch. Lunch is tapas style with several very tasty small plates. The menu was farm to table so you could experience what the surrounding farms could offer. White wines were very nice, no red wines available when we visited. Definitely a place to return to on our next visit.

Cool small museum with lots of amazing old artifacts. The staff were helpful, the artifacts were amazing, and there was even lots of stuff outside! Coming to this small hidden place with basically no expectations, but with the expectations I had, it definitely past them. There was lots of rooms with old artifacts that people put a lot of time making and there were plenty of old cars outside to see like a ford T1 from 1921. Overall, if you are in Creston it is a nice small place to check out, very worthy of your time.
Mark S — Google review
This is a cool place to take the kids while you're in Creston. It's a look back in time and how the people that called this place home survived and the ways they made their living. The old miners tunnels, railroad and lumber machinery is mind boggling to think this is all they had and the ingenuity that they had to build these things. Now look at how modern technology has advanced from where it began. As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

Wide variety of weights and machines in the gym although it's geared a little more towards lighter workouts than hard core body building. The pool is epic for a small town and there's a steam room.

We are so very fortunate to have such an amazing facility in our community. We spent hours in the pool with our grandchildren who are visiting from Alberta. The lifeguard staff are WONDERFUL. They are constantly walking/ counting and checking on the swimmers. They are obviously well trained so thank you for that. Our grandsons loved the Lazy River the most! My husband has also curled in this facility and enjoyed the experience immensely. So happy we live in this community.

This is a very nice facility. The playground outside is one of the nicest I've seen. My daughter thoroughly enjoys playing there. The pool area is nice. Unfortunately, the ice rink was closed for the season. So I will have to let you know how that is in the winter.

Great modern facility. Only wish they still had child minding. I'd go considerably more. Kids love it and the hot tub has a gorgeous view of outside. Kids can go in the pool independently by age 7.

Eloise weas absolutely AMAZING. Solo Albertan touring the BC winery's and had to make this my first stop as we cannot get this maker in Alberta anymore. Felt so welcomed and was an inviting place. Tasting was outside and the conversations and information from Eloise was top notch. Of course I had to stock up to bring back home. All the tastings were extremely enjoyable. Thank you. Sad I wasn't able to do a tour but this experience was well worth the trip

A local gem! A beautiful winery offering tasting tours and everything you'd expect from a top-tier wine destination. The wine flight includes a selection of four wines of your choice—perfect for exploring different flavors. We enjoyed a delicious platter featuring an assortment of cheeses, cured meats, and hummus. I also loved the sweet plate with delightful macarons. They also offer a great selection of local beers and ciders.

Watched the spring cow release. Amazing to see. Lots of people came out this April 2025. They're going to need to put up bleachers. We thought we wouldn't make it for the 11am release because we got caught in lines of cars coming to the event, but they graciously waited until 11:30 so everyone could get in.

I love the products and we are very lucky to have this in our small town. I had an unpleasant in-person experience with his staff member When buying ice cream with my kids. The cashier was impolite to both patrons before me and our group. Otherwise their milk Is delicious and the business seems as ethical as can be.

Wow! Great cheese. We picked up a Crowdie and a chunk of Nostrala, both very delicious. They have other dairy products available in their retail shop, including those from other local producers in the area. You can tour the barns and see the cows and the milking operation. The automated milking system is brilliant.

Kowledgeable, interested caring people always add the secret sauce to any experience. Both Amy and Aaron did just that on my recent stop. Every time people take the time to share we learn a little more about our World, how it works and our many many available options. I was thrilled to learn that many Creston businesses flourished in spite of Covid 19. People stayed home, supported local business and got re-acquainted. Knowing this made by day. I also received the hiking trail info I was seeking and about the local wineries and where to find a place that offered "Upick" options. Our exchange of ideas was inspiring. Thankyousomuch.

Redbird Winery in Creston is a super fun little winery that should not be missed! We had a wonderful tasting experience, enjoying a delightful selection of wines.

One of the best vineyards I’ve ever visited. The wine was incredible, it’s run by a young family, Rémi was incredibly kind, courteous and attentive. Many of the grapes and wines were not what I would traditionally choose, and the wines had so much flavour that I truly enjoyed and purchased wines I wouldn’t usually have. As a British Columbian with French Canadian roots, I so appreciated this young Québécois family choosing to grow and produce fantastic wines in our province. Merci beaucoup à la famille Cardinal, et à Rémi pour jaser et pour nous accueillir! Je vais certainement commander plus de vos fantastiques vins, et j’espère vous visiter à Creston encore. Santé!
