I visited Ricco Bambino with a couple friends and was blown away by this hidden gem. The decor is beautiful and the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the wine they were selling. Definitely a must visit spot if you’re coming to Kelowna! Try a taste of their award winning “Very Troubled Child” rosé brut and guaranteed you’ll be leaving with a bottle!

The St Hubertus & Oak Bay Vineyards were originally planted in 1928 By J.W. Hughes during a time when agricultural land was plentiful.Since 1984 the Gebert Familys use sustainable farming practices on their 76 acre vineyard to produce wines that reflect the terroir of the north Okanagan Valley under the St Hubertus & Oak Bay Label. In 2003 the Okanagan Mountain Wild Fire destroyed the original winery and over 200 houses.

This review is a little late but I had to make sure to write one! Back in August my partner & spent a day wine tasting in Kelowna. We specifically chose wineries that were dog friendly - we were so excited that Cedar Creek was on that list! We pre booked a tasting & upon arrival our server explained that there were pairing options we could add on (so of course we did!) Although this was definitely pricey it was so so worth it. We loved Cedar Creek - the wine was amazing, the tasting room staff incredibly knowledgeable, the property is gorgeous and most of all our dog was treated like a queen by every staff member in the place! We joined up with the wine club & will certainly be back for another visit soon. Highly recommend!!! I also wanted to say that the gentleman helping us out was beyond fabulous. I can’t remember his name but longer blonde hair. Please give him some extra kudos!

Had stopped at another winery, saw signs for House of Rose so started driving....and driving. But once we got there, we were so glad we made the trip. The staff were so friendly and chatty, shared some lovely wines with us, and made recommendations to other wineries based on our tastes, even took out a map and highlighted other wineries. A real gem, we hope to be back.

Enjoyed a VIP tour with Clarissa, and got to walk the vines, and see great integration of sustainable practices, and investment in wine made in harmony with nature. Whether its the bees, the deer, birds, or pests, these folks are the winery of the future, reducing the carbon footprint, and producing some unique wines, where, after touring the land, I understand better than ever, how the terroir comes through. Look for this winery to make an impression.

If you are looking for a fun experience, something abit different, this is a must. I enjoy ciders very much so was only interested in trying them. The View offers some unusual but delicious ciders to taste. The creative setting also enhanced the tasting too. Small creative businesses need our support and based on our experience I recommend a stop here.
