I loved our wine tasting with John C! It was well done-despite covid- and I wanted to package him up and bring him home to my mom! Loved the wine and will continue to purchase their wines.

"The dirty laundry," became the whispered subject of ridicule among the local businessmen and their wives in the late 1800's. The upstairs waiting room at the laundry in Summerland BC, was a place where the working men could get their clothes cleaned and enjoy an illicit drink, play a game of cards, or spend time in the company of a woman. My friend Sharon and I popped up to the Dirty Laundry Vineyards on a warm Friday afternoon for pizza and wine on their outdoor patio. With the COVID19 protocols enforcing social-distancing between tables, the restaurant was busy and had a waitlist of guests. But, we didn't have to wait too long, just enough time to check out the fun merchandise in the company store. The restaurant concept is self-serve with one kiosk to order freshly made pizza, another for beer, and a third of course for ordering their own wines to enjoy with your food. The view from the patio overlooks the vineyards, the remnants of the Kettle Valley Railway, and Okanagan Lake. The food was great, the atmosphere relaxing, and the wine good.

Took my husband for a treat, he loves trains. This is a very pleasant and relaxing thing to do. It lasts only 90 minutes and the history and scenery was so interesting. The conductor was funny, knowledgeable and now I might have to admit I like trains too. They provide blankets on board if you get chilly, this train goes all year with special rides at Halloween, xmas etc…. They also have a train robbery and BBQ certain times of the week. No food sold on board but when the train stopped to turn around there was a local lady selling fresh raspberries. This was Oct and they were so big and juicy I couldn’t believe it. Really a great activity for anyone in any age group. Note there are picnic tables at the station where you can sit and eat if you have brought along food.

My wife and I visited the winery this month. We were very impressed with not just the wines but also with the way the tasting was conducted. All done very cordial and yet professional. Mrs.Stefanie Schales is a great host and their Riesling is an absolute winner, it’s an amazing wine. But then, their Pino Noir is also excellent. Meine Frau und ich besuchten das Weingut im Oktober dieses Jahres. Wir hatten das große Glück das die Chefin persönlich, Frau Stefanie Schales, die Weinprobe vornahm. Euer Riesling ist einsame Spitze, einfach herrlich aber der Pinot Noir ist mindestens ein Kauf von 2-3 Flaschen wert.

We came here yesterday to buy wine for friends. The place has a great lookout from their patio. Very quiet there on this visit since it is off season.

Great hike up to the top with an amazing view. No matter the weather, great exercise. The drive up to the parking lot is a little nerve wracking for someone who is afraid of heights. But still a great and fun place to visit.

We arrived at Lunessence without a reservation and they accommodated our party of 5 on the patio, which has an incredible view. We ordered a delicious charcuterie platter with our wine tasting and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The wines were amazing - I picked up a few whites despite having a preference for reds. Our server was friendly and attentive but it would help if she had a bit more information on the winery. I would definitely come back for another visit.
