My girlfriend and I were on vacation through Okanagan wine country. Over six days, we visited sixty wineries. You can follow our various locations with this disclaimer. That’s sixty wineries, not an exaggeration. We ended the trip with 120 bottles acquired.
On a rather isolated hill just south of Okanagan Falls sits a family of smaller wineries all worthy of a visit. The first two on this list is Wild Goose and Stags Hollow, which is a fifteen-second walk from each other, literally next door. Thus, a visit to one equates to visiting both. But be aware that these wineries are like Anna Kendrick, petite and an acquired taste. But I adore that actress, and I walked away with several bottles that day. The actual tasting rooms are small, and in total, both visits won’t take long, but there is also Liquidity and Noble Ridge nearby, and those wineries are amazing, and it would be crazy to go here without visiting them all, so go do that.

Read moreOur group had the pleasure of tasting here on Saturday. The wines are amazing! The Albariño was my favourite white: crisp, bright, and balanced. The Syrah is amazing (I swear I heard angels sing while tasting it)! The winemaker here knows her stuff and treats each grape with the individuality they deserve. Our tasting made us feel very safe. Very minimal contact. Respectful distances were maintained, sanitizing protocols were exemplary. Our wine flights were pre-poured and presented in 4 carafes, which we poured ourselves. Terry led us through an informative and fun tasting of each, while maintaining the 6 feet physical distancing. The tasting was outside and we were able to drink in the view as we sampled. It makes sense that children cannot be in the tasting room right now. Space is limited due to safety protocols and I made alternative arrangements for my children. Tasting is boring for kids anyway. If you haven’t had an opportunity to visit this winery you really should. The people, the view, and especially the wine make it worth the short drive...
Read moreWe regularly visit Stag's Hollow Winery in the Southern Okanagan, and I must say it exceeds all expectations. This winery is a true gem in the heart of wine country.
From the moment we arrive, we're captivated by the stunning vineyard views and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff's knowledge and passion for their craft shines through in every visit.
Their wines are nothing short of exceptional. Each sip tells a story of careful craftsmanship and the terroir of the region. The Pinot Noir and Albariño were personal favourites, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any selection from their diverse portfolio.
What sets Stag's Hollow apart is their commitment to sustainability and innovation. Their dedication to organic farming and experimentation with unique grape varieties truly sets them apart.
If you're looking for an unforgettable wine experience in the Southern Okanagan, Stag's Hollow Winery is a must-visit. Cheers to Stag's Hollow for crafting some of the finest wines...
