The owners of this winery must have a big head to name themselves Giant Head.
AhemâŚI said they must haveâŚaâŚbigâŚnever mind.
In truth, the winery is named after Giantâs Head Mountain, where the winery is located. They mustâve gotten here first as Giantâs Head is not small and boasts at least three other wineries. So, I guess only one is allowed to take the name of its location. Giant Head is yet another intimate estate winery where you enter a small tasting room and often enjoy a tasting hosted by the winemaker himself/herself. That may come off as an enervated response like I had enough by this point. My girlfriend and I had traveled from Osoyoos to Kelowna, and over seven days, visited 60 wineries, returning with 120 bottles. You would think when I reached Giant Head, number 50 by this point, that I wouldâve suffered wine fatigue.
But no, we never did. We even embarked on a second wine tour nine months later. Giant Head Winery was memorable entirely due to its winemaker, another charismatic personality obviously passionate about winemaking. The winery offers few wines for tasting, understandable since the winery only offers five varietals. Unfortunately, nothing really grabbed me, at least not enough to justify the price (they are slightly on the expensive side). And to emphasize the issue. Giantâs Head Mountain also features several more memorable wineries including Dirty Laundry. That being said, I also found Dirty Laundry too commercial. They were more interested in their brand than their wine. Giant Head was about the wine, and nothing more. In the end, thatâs all that should matter. Itâs worth a short visit, at...
   Read moreHands down my favorite winery! Jinny and her daughter are an absolute delight. I stumbled across this winery while touring the area three years ago and it has become my favorite ever since. I fell in love with the late harvest and the amazing wine collection. I can't believe how well Jinny remembers me as a few years ago we came right before close not knowing if they were open or closed and turns out to be just closing and she insisted that we come in for a tasting and she didn't mind at all. While we were tasting her mother came in and offered us cherries for free and was just a complete sweetheart. When we revisited last year Jinny remembered us and said I think my mom gave you cherries right? I was shocked for her to have such a great memory and such a truly personal experience. This year when I visit I met her daughter and can tell that those great personal traits have been passed on. Truly an amazing place I recommend you add this to your list as its a must go to place for an abundance of reasons but great customer service aside this has the best wine to enjoy and I love supporting such an all around great place who deserves to flourish. Please visit Jinny and enjoy their amazing wines I would give this place a 6/5 stars because truly...

What a gem of a spot! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. The host was absolutely amazing â super friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made the whole tasting experience feel personal, fun, and totally unpretentious.
And letâs talk about the real star: the dog. The cutest little greeter youâll ever meet, casually strolling around like he owns the place (which, letâs be honest, he probably does). He added so much charm and character â we were all smitten!
The wines? Delicious. Each pour had its own personality, and the host was happy to share the story behind each one. Whether youâre a wine nerd or just there to chill, this place hits the sweet spot.
The whole vibe is relaxed, friendly, and effortlessly cool â think great music, beautiful views, and zero pressure. We didnât want to leave. Already planning...
