Silkscarf winery — Attraction in Summerland

Tasting fee price is excellent. Wines were good. Unfortunately for us they had obviously a good season and were sold out of over 50% of their wines which left us with none of our favourites to taste. We decided to give it a try and see if we would like the others. The lady serving us was nice but I really didn’t enjoy any of the wines enough to buy. Really not anyone’s fault because the wines were really good but just I am a stickler for the ones I truly enjoy. The moment I said I would just pay the tasting fee the lady’s demeanour completely changed and she became rude and dismissive to us. So much so that I tried to explain it was because she is sold out of my favourites and it isn’t in any rudeness to their winery or their wines... still she just dismissed us. Just put a bad taste in my mouth. Won’t be back sadly. But congrats to them for having good sales this...

I visited Silkscarf this past weekend for the first time, with a Bachelorette party. The wines were excellent, however I found the service and overall experience left something to be desired. For such a small boutique winery, I can understand it's not particularly suitable for a larger group like ours (8-9 people) which was also more of an issue with our tour operator, but still I would expect that the staff would still attempt to make our experience an enjoyable one. The person who served our tasting didn't bother to talk to us about his winery, their processes, the property or even any of the wines. He limited his conversation with our group to telling us the varietal we were tasting and whether it was sweet or not. Despite the disappointing service, I did purchase a bottle of the Pinot Blanc as it...

We decided to stop in for a quick tasting at Silkscarf Winery. Beautiful tasting room with a couple of stools to sit at. Our pourer wasn’t the friendliest and impatient.

Tastings are $7.00/person for 4 pours but only waived if you buy two bottles. Nutty. Good thing is you can select any of their 16 wines. Wine bottles are $26.97 to $39.95.
