So much great art, exhibitions change every 6-8 weeks and there is a mix of community, members, group and solo exhibitions. For a small gallery the variety offered is fantastic, they also host numerous events throughout the year including the under 100. Also there is a coffee shop next door so treat yourself to a beverage and a delicious slice of carrot cake while you are there.

Very COVID protected. Wines fit the long term standard of Gray Monk. Disappointing but understandable that family winery has sold out to a major company in Pellar. Still one of the good large volume wineries and has a great restaurant

Intrigue Wines

When we were deciding what to call our winery we wondered; "What is it about wine that captivates us, that keeps us coming back for more, and that still interests us after all these years?"Some people like to know where the wine comes from. Others like to know who made it or how it will change with time. The foodies want to know what flavours they will find in their glass and how it will pair with a certain dish.We're all intrigued about wine. It's constantly changing and evolving. That is part of the excitement and allure of winemaking.We came together as partners out of a passion for wine. The strength of the partnership is in the complimentary experience that each of us brings to the table. A winemaker, an accountant, an internet entrepreneur and a business advisor

We stopped in while touring area wineries and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wines. The size of samples was appropriate and the price of the wines very reasonable. Keep it up and we'll be back!

This small winery ( 50 th Parallel Estates) in lake Country BC has one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. I am not an expert but I do know what is great and the meal we had today was great! Awesome service, delectable oysters, fabulous crab cakes, and at the risk of sounding small world the best ever carrot cake dessert , ever, pretty sure it was chef made vanilla ice cream. In house ketchup and hot sauce and horse radish. You need to eat here! Go at happy hour and try things out!

A very nice winery on 300 acres with gorgeous views. Staff are friendly and the food looked really good. The bistro was packed! The estate-grown portfolio showcases Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Rosé, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and Pinot. The Gewürztraminer was my favorite so I picked up 8 bottles and the price was reasonable!
