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.

Hillside Orchards U-Pick and Farm

Reviewed By philo2017 - Edmonton, Canada

My wife and I always go to Hillside Orchards when we visit the Okanagan. This year we stayed in our trailer on their property for a week's stay. Such a gorgeous spot! Heide made a concerted effort to ensure we were looked after. Whether it was delivering fresh eggs and fruit to us, or just stopping to talk, she took time out of her busy day to befriend us! We were able to enjoy their wonderful vegetables and fruits every day. Parking our trailer was easy, had water and power supplied. There are also 2 yurts next to us, one of which our daughter and her husband stayed in for one night with their dogs. Heide and her family are genuinely nice people, who made our stay there so enjoyable and comfortable! Will definitely return!

My title of this review says it all. The owner is the one who helped us out and was great. The red wines are what we tried and they were amazing and priced great.
