Taste, Savour, and Indulge

Beautiful Scenery, Exquisite Wines, & Delectable Cheeses

We will pick you up at your location at approximately 10 am then we will enjoy a relaxing and scenic drive along the north bench to Lake Country, where we stop for tasting at one of our newest wineries, Intrigue Wines. Then we are off to indulge in a Blind Tasting  at Gray Monk, Its so much fun and informative too.

After the tastings,  we enjoy a wonderful lunch at a Gray Monk. You will order off the menu, but be sure to let us know about allergies so we can inform the restaurant in advance. Lunch and the gratuity for lunch service is included in your tour cost.

In the afternoon, we visit three additional wineries. Usually, they are Arrowleaf, Ex Nihilo, and O’Rourkes Family Vineyard. Clients love the charcuterie platter overlooking Okanagan Lake but if the weather is inclement we will enjoy a wine and cheese tasting to end the day.We do have some choice depending on traffic and guests preferences. The itinerary may change depending on the availability of reservations at the time of booking. We will experience 20-25 small tastings at five wineries in Lake Country.

Please call for last minute bookings.
