Meyer Family Vineyards — Attraction in Area D (Skaha East/Okanagan Falls)

Meyer Family is awesome, awesome like many others. So, by saying it’s disappointing is not saying it’s bad.

It’s like saying Return of the Jedi is disappointing compared to The Empire Strikes Back. You still got that awesome speeder-bike chase and that moment Luke flips out and attempts patricide. But yeah, when grading against the other two, it’s not the best.

This assumes I am not counting the prequels.

It’s certainly not The Godfather, Part 3—Meyer Family Vineyard is still a great place, featuring an impressive view, and boasting a broad selection of wine served by a knowledgeable and generous host. It has a welcoming tasting lounge blessed with delicious temptations for one’s next picnic. The issue once again is that Meyer Family Vineyard was neither our first winery nor our last on this day. It wasn’t even the fiftieth for my girlfriend and me in total. We were up to seventy by this point in the Okanagan alone.

And Meyer Family Vineyard is good, worth a visit, but if your time is paramount and limited, it would not be a priority on my list. Meyer followed Nighthawk and would be followed by Synchromesh, both superior wineries. But I won’t attempt negativity as the location is still good. We just didn’t buy any wine.

I did buy crackers. I mean…crackers. That’s something. Right? Another comparison would be someone offering me a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup after I finished sucking on a Lindor chocolate with a bowl of those still tempting me. Sure, I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but when there’s a bowl of Lindors…

…Unfortunately, I’m also overweight, so I’d find a way to fit in both. Hmm, that’s a better comparison. If you like wine and are touring the region, fit in Meyer, and then feel...

We've visited well over 20 wineries in the Okanagan over a series of visits and hands down Meyer is a must visit winery in the Okanagan. A focused portfolio means the wines are some of the highest quality from the Okanagan and are beautifully crafted.

Having recently visited the winery for a premium tasting, we had one of the best experience we've had during a tasting. Steve took us through their premium chardonnays and pinots paired with food to demonstrate how the profile of the wines changes depending on the food pairing. It was a really cool, educational experience, that highlighted how much food can enhance wines when paired correctly.

If you only have time for a few winery visits, Meyer's is one you don't want to...

I first tasted meyer at the vancouver wine fest event where u had 10min with a winemaker and loved the wine. The range of wines and price points are good so i had ordered a 6bottle platinum mixed case for pickup when visiting. So was disappointed with both people hosting. The woman was not super welcoming and hospitable and my wife noted this as well particularly given we had pre ordered some nice wine. And then tasting at the bar the employee serving was really hard to understand the pronunciation but at least was keen and enthusiastic. So both frontline staff did not deliver versus a prior visit with very friendly sommelier hostess.. will keep liking the wines but will avoid the in...
