Sage Hills Estate Winery and Vineyards — Attraction in Summerland

Apart from the beautiful view and award winning wine the experience was very disappointing. The server was a bit belittling and presumptive about our tastes. That may sound pretentious of me to say but we were in a party of multiple people and they kept saying to us and others that the wines were liked my ‘millennial’. I’m a millennial and I was with a few others and our parents, our parents liked them better. I suppose that complaint may be a ‘you had to be there’ moment, but we felt a bit put down by it.

All of the wine was really underwhelming, EXCEPT for the pinot noir. That was the best red wine I have ever had, but it was $60 ($15 off with the tasting). The merlot was quite good so we bought a bottle of that.

The server, as I said, was pretentious and seemed to not have time for us. We were waiting forever, which would be fine if it was because of the COVID precautions but it was not. He was up selling another party of customers on the club membership. I understand it’s a business but we were left sitting a long time then had quick explanations, less than an ounce pouring, and long gaps between pours.

My party is explaining our server as ‘cold’, and ‘too cool for school’. We were so happy when we drove up to the amazing vista in the parking lot, the beautiful new building, and the gorgeous interior, then felt snubbed with the service. Onto the next winery I suppose! I would recommend just going into buy a bottle of red, but don’t bother going in for a...

Sage Hills Vineyard is a Family owned and operated Summerland BC boutique winery extraordinare. Renee and I with friend Steve visited Summer 2017.

A short drive into the Winery opens onto spectacular lake, mountain and rolling vineyard vistas. Very cool.

The cozy Tasting room’s perched hi atop lake hillside. Our Tasting experience with host Tobe was fun and informative. She explained the concept and process for each wine. A few favorites ; Brut Savage - Everyday happy hour should begin with Sage bubbles. Delicious.

Syrah Rose - refreshing flavors we enjoyed and shared with friends this Summer. Lovely to sup.

Rhymes with Orange is unique in color and flavorable. One of my chilled favs.

Syrah- flavor depth is mysterious. Add to my cellar to drink now or lay down for next year cheers.

Sage Hills Pinot Noir winning awards for good reason.

Sage Hills - rising star of the Okanagan wine scene. We've been a big fan of Sage Hills wine for the last four or five years, starting with the Pinot Gris and the Pinot Noir. We love that they are a family run vineyard, produce in small lots, and are fully organic. We were thrilled when they opened their wine tasting room, which has amazing views of Lake Okanagan and gives us a chance to speak to Rick and Toby personally when we visit. You get a wonderful insight into the passion that they bring to their vineyard. They are dedicated to controlling the entire wine making process from farming, pressing, aging and bottling, all on site. And of course the bonus to be able to taste all of the new and exciting wines they have to offer! Sage Hills is, in our opinion, a first class operation and a must stop on your...
