Very spacious and lovely picnic area. Had a kids basket with toys and books to keep them busy so the adults could finish the tasting. Ice wine selection was fantastic

We really appreciated Dee's service. She is knowledgeable about the vineyard products as well as the region and it was nice to chat with her. It is a very nice place to visit and the tasting is not too expensive. We had a great time and would definitely go back!

We visited Volcanic Hills Estate Winery in July, for a too-short but impressive visit. We did set tastings and then tasted some late harvest wines with Roger guiding us. Roger was an incredible host - we can’t say enough here. Knowledgable, welcoming, down to earth, and the perfect person to explore your palate with. While this was my first opportunity to taste at a vineyard in Kelowna, it compared favourably to tastings in Niagara, Tuscany, Paris region. Keep an open mind about the variations on varietals, terroir, process and try these wonderful wines. Can’t wait to return and taste and buy lots more of these great wines- hoping they’ll have an ice open to try.
