The Tasting Room at Painted Rock
The tasting room sits artfully on a picturesque bluff overlooking our estate vineyards and Skaha Lake and offers a view and a line-up of premium wines that are not to be missed when visiting the Okanagan Valley. It was built and opened in 2013 and was designed locally by Dominic Unsworth.
Let our knowledgeable and passionate staff guide you through our portfolio of wines. Learn about our vineyards and winemaking processes and enjoy a glass of wine and a locally sourced cheese and charcuterie plate on our sun drenched patio.
Note: we are dog friendly. Please don't leave your pooch in a hot car, they are welcome to join us on the patio.
Tastings & Experiences Offered:
Patio:
Our patio is open daily from 11-5:30pm, offering Rosé, Chardonnay and Red Icon by the glass and by the bottle, along with a rotating list of local beers and ciders, and our cheese & charcuterie boards for the remainder of the summer.
BOOK YOUR TABLE. Reservations are sincerely appreciated.
Tastings:
Starting July 7th, we will begin offering a limited number of Library Series tastings. These will be the only tastings available due to the majority of our current vintage wines being sold out.
There will be four different themes, each featuring unique vintages and wines from our library. The seated tastings will include five back vintage wines and we estimate they will last one hour. We will offer two tastings per day at 11am and 3pm for up to 10 people per session. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a bottle of one of the wines they tasted. Due to the extremely limited quantities of these wines, the maximum will be one bottle per person. Reservations required; no walk-ins will be able to be accommodated.
