Rollingdale er en familieejet farm gate-vingård i det fantastiske West Kelowna, B.C., hvor landets historie er forankret i frugtplantager med æbler, ferskner og kirsebær. Efter at have ligget bar i årevis blev vinstokke først plantet i 1999, herunder Marechal Foch, Pinot Gris og Pinot Blanc. Vingården åbnede i 2004 med sin debutårgang og udvidede med tiden sin vingård til at omfatte Merlot, Chardonnay og mere Pinot Blanc. Rollingdale er certificeret økologisk siden 2007 og sætter en ære i sin økologiske praksis, dyrkning af druer og fremstilling af vine, der afspejler deres dybe forpligtelse til bæredygtighed og jorden. Skål for vin med samvittighed! Nyd 4-5 vinsmagninger, med tid til at shoppe efter din yndlingsvin!
Off the Grid Organic Winery har været i Paynter-familien i over 100 år! Oprindeligt fra Alnwick, England, kom Edwin Paynter til Canada i 1909 med drømme om landbrug og købte 80 acres i Westbank. Efter en hurtig tilbagevenden til England for Første Verdenskrig, vendte han og hans kone tilbage i 1919 og begyndte at drive landbrug, og til sidst delte jorden mellem deres syv børn. I dag kører Edwins oldebørn, Travis, Sheri, Nigel og Hayley, stolt Off the Grid og holder familiens landbrugsarv i live med et moderne twist! Her vil du nyde 4-5 smagninger med tid til at shoppe din yndlingsvin!
Velkommen til Frind Estate Winery på 3725 Boucherie Road i West Kelowna, BC, hvor historie og vin blander sig perfekt! Dette naturskønne sted var engang hjemsted for BC Premier Bill Bennett og hans familie, og det er gennemsyret af arv, med Bills far, W.A.C. Bennett, der er den længst siddende premier og præsident for Okanagans første vingård, Calona Wines. Hver flaske Frind Estate-vin har stolt en gylden fyrrekogle, der symboliserer videnskab, Bacchus' vinmagi og de smukke Ponderosa Pines, der inspirerede den. Grundlæggeren Markus Frind, et matematikgeni, hentede inspiration fra Fibonacci-sekvensen fundet i fyrrekogler, som også optræder i Kelowna-byens logo. Skål for en tår historie og et nik til det land, vi værner om! Nyd 4-5 vinsmagninger, med tid til at shoppe efter din yndlingsvin!
Kalala Organic Estate Winery, eller "Miracle Place," handler om harmoni med naturen, og laver prisvindende vine fra økologiske druer i det smukke West Kelowna. Karnail Sidhu, en tredjegenerations økologisk landmand, forvandlede sin passion for bæredygtigt landbrug til en blomstrende vingård efter at have flyttet til Canada i 1993. Startende på Summerhill Pyramid Winery plantede Karnail til sidst sine egne økologiske vinmarker, og åbnede officielt Kalala i 2008. Med en sjov og indbydende atmosfære, kan du slentre rundt i vingården, nyde smagsprøver og chatte med Karnail selv, mens du nyder sprøde hvide, dristige røde og deres berømte økologiske isvine! Her vil du smage 4-5 vine med tid til at shoppe din yndlingsvin!
Familien Slamka satte deres præg på West Kelownas vinscene efter at have flyttet fra Tjekkoslovakiet og plantet deres første vingård i 1969. Oprindeligt planlagde de at sælge druer til store kommercielle vingårde, men i 1996 havde de tre Slamka-sønner lanceret Little Straw Vineyards! Deres debutudgivelse i 1994 fangede essensen af West Kelownas sommerdruer, og lige siden har deres vine afspejlet årtiers passion og tradition. Med nye vingårdsblokke og moderne vinfremstillingsteknikker har deres 12-acre parcel produceret unikke vine som fan-favoritten Auxerrois i deres Frizzante og Tapestry, såvel som deres lækre Foch-vin. Efter over 50 år gav Slamka-familien faklen videre til Kalala Organic Estate Winery i 2021 og efterlod en varig arv i hver flaske. Nyd 4-5 vinsmagninger, med tid til at shoppe efter din yndlingsvin!
Fantastiske vine kommer fra steder, hvor vinproducenter lægger deres hjerte og sjæl i at lave flasker, der virkelig afspejler deres unikke omgivelser - hvor vin handler mere om kunstnerskab og mindre om blot et andet produkt. Gå ind i Okanagan/Similkameen, et vinfremstillingsparadis, hvor druer trodser oddsene i den nordlige udkant af vinverdenen. Her får udfordringen med en kortere vækstsæson vinstokkene til at arbejde hårdere, hvilket resulterer i vine med en karakteristisk britisk colombiansk flair. Med magien i vores søer, bakker og jord er det ikke underligt, at vores druer trives og producerer noget helt ekstraordinært! Nyd 4-5 gratis smagninger og tid til at shoppe efter din yndlingsvin!
Sarwan Giddas drøm om at lave vine i verdensklasse begyndte med hans far, Mehtab, som ankom til Canada i 1958 med kun $5 og et sæt metalstel. Mehtab, en erfaren mangobonde fra Indien, slog sig ned i Okanagan-dalen og tilpassede sine færdigheder til æbleavl, før Sarwan og hans kone Sudarshana vovede sig i drueavl i 1978. De leverede til topvingårde som Gray Monk og Mission Hill, mens de gradvist forvandlede deres frugtplantager til vinmarker. Selvom Mehtab er gået forbi, fortsætter hans arv med Sarwan og hans familie, der driver Volcanic Hills Estate Winery, etableret i 2010. Når du besøger, vil du blive mødt af Sarwans børn, Christina, Bobby og Amit, som altid er klar til at dele deres families vinfremstillingshistorie. Nyd 4-5 gratis vinsmagninger med tid til at shoppe efter din yndlingsvin!
Tilbage i 1980 købte Kirstin og Natashas forældre en grund, der havde en gammel, forladt vingård, uden at vide, at den en dag ville blive The Gallery Winery! Spol frem til 2013, hvor tingene blev alvorlige - udjævning af landets vanskelige terræn startede eventyret. I 2015 plantede de deres allerførste vinstokke, og i efteråret fik de deres trofaste traktor og byttede officielt malerpensler ud med landbrugsværktøj! Byggeriet af ladet startede i 2018 og blev efter nogle kreative opgraderinger forvandlet til The Gallery Winery i 2020. Deres første høst rullede ind i løbet af 2018, og i 2021 plantede de en smuk Cabernet Franc-blok og afsluttede vingårdens renovering lige i tide til kl. falde. Skål for denne kunstneriske, vinelskende duo! Her kan du nyde 4-5 smagninger med tid til at shoppe!
The Modest Butcher bringer dig retter fra jord til bord med nul prætention og den bedste spisestemning i Okanagans vinland! Serverer en fantastisk cocktailmenu, håndværksøl og vine fra hele verden (plus deres egne prisvindende Mt. Boucherie picks), det er det perfekte sted til enhver lejlighed - fancy eller afslappet. Indkøber lokalt kød, når det er muligt, men de har aldrig viget tilbage fra noget fantastisk, de har været "Spisning med Reckless Abandon" siden 2020. Så uanset om du fejrer eller bare hænger ud, så kom ind og #Spis Recklessly, mens du bliver lidt # BeModest! Her vil du nyde frokost (udgifter til frokost betales direkte til restauranten) Bemærk venligst, at vi kan vælge en anden restaurant på vinstien afhængigt af tilgængelighed.

Great experience with the group. Appreciated the smaller group size and relaxed feel. Our tour guide was also very kind and captured great moments for my friends and I. Thanks SIP!
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the relaxed vibe and small group experience—it’s the perfect way to sip, chat, and take in the views. We’re especially glad your guide helped capture those special moments with your friends; that’s what it’s all about! Thanks for choosing to tour with us, and we hope to see you again for another fun day of wine and good times!
We had a fun day guided safely by our knowledgable guide Nick. A good variety of wineries were chosen and we had enough time at each location. I would recommend this tour company to everyone.

We had a great time on our Sip Happens wine tour. Harry was great! A great day visiting some great wineries!! Highly recommend Little Straw and Crowns and Thieves!
Thanks for the fantastic review! We're so glad you had a great day out with us, and that Harry helped make it extra memorable—he’s definitely one of the best at mixing fun with great wine stops. Little Straw and Crown & Thieves are both awesome picks, and we’re glad they hit the spot. Here’s to more wine adventures ahead—we’d love to have you back for another round!
Awesome guide and experience with Dustin! We had a terrific day and booked the bridal wine tour. Highly recommend booking with this tour company!
Thanks so much for the glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a terrific time on the bridal wine tour—what a fun way to celebrate.

Cheers to good wine, great company, and memories worth toasting to. Hope to see you again soon!
We love Sip Happens! This was our fourth year and each year gets better! The drivers have been wonderful and quick to figure out what our group will appreciate. We will for sure be back!
Four years and still loving it—now that’s what we call a true fan! We’re so glad our drivers keep hitting the right notes with your group and making each year better than the last. We can’t wait to have you back for year five and beyond. Cheers to many more great times together!
This is our 4th year touring with Sip and they continue to surpass expectations! We visited some more new wineries which gave us now opportunities to taste the many wines of the Okanagan. What a treat! Lofty, our driver and guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, the wineries and the stories of the Pacers we visited. We're excited to have him show us around next year for great #5! Thank you Sip!
Four years and still going strong—now that’s what we call loyalty! We’re so happy you enjoyed discovering new wineries and tasting even more of the Okanagan’s best. Lofty will be thrilled to hear he made such a great impression with his friendly style and local knowledge. We can’t wait to have you back for an epic fifth year of fun, stories, and great wine. Thanks for being part of the Sip Happens family!
Our expereince as a group of 8 on this specific day. Did a full day tour with sip happens on June 7th 2025, We had pre booked a few month in advanced and asked for a spefic tour as there was 8 of us going and it was confirmed for the tour and places we wanted to visit all not being unresonable asks and all near each other.on the west side We started off the trip with having to double back across the the bridge to go pick up people who where not at there pick up point when the driver went to pick them up, which put us behind on the tour by around 40 minutes.Which in our booking does say that they won't do. This changed the order in which we did the tour which would'nt have been a big deal , but the tour guide ( more like just a driver to be honest) told the tasting room at our first place to speed up the tasting because we were running latebecasue of traffic (not true), which was accurate but not from the fault of us. We were rushed through the first tasting, which really was to bad as the winery was lovely with a very cute story and we did'nt get to really enjoy the wine as it was more like chugging. Some of the guest bot a bottle of wine and all put in a box behind the van, the driver was going to drive off without putting the box in van. the vibe was off for sure adn he didnt sem like he wanted to be there! We did 2 more wineries before lunch and the driver did'nt have boxes for the wine or a marker to mark the bottles on the top for easy identification after the tour. We stopped for lunch and a few of our guest did not continue on the tour they chose to go back to the resort as they were feeling to rushed. The way that our group had chosen the wineries we went to was very specific unfortunately they decided to switch one of the wineries out without our knowldge after lunch and it was not a good swap, disapointing really. When asked about it I was told that they were booked up a month in advance but I had booked well over a month in advance and was not told anything when they confirmed my request. The driver did not create a fun expereince and was not attentive. We did a tour the day before with the same company different driver and it was awesome, He had boxes for our stuff came and grab the bottlesd marked them and reaaly created a fun chill vibe, so who your driver is really does make a huge difference! We have used the compnay a few time before but this tour on Saturday was not the best tour we have had that's for sure.
Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback. We really do appreciate you taking the time to outline your experience, and we’re sorry to hear that this particular tour didn’t meet the expectations you had based on your previous positive experiences with us. We’d like to clarify a few things from our end, because we truly believe in transparency and giving credit where it’s due. On the morning of your tour, our guide arrived at the exact pickup location that had been confirmed both in writing and again the night before via Text. Unfortunately, the other party was not only at the wrong location, but in a completely different city from the one they had provided. They not once but twice confirmed an inaccurate address, and we cannot control what clients provide us and wholly relay in correct information or who are we do know. While this was outside of our control, our guide went out of his way to go and pick them up—something we normally avoid as stated in our policy, specifically to prevent delays like the one your group experienced. We did our best to fix the situation and keep the day on track, even though the mix-up was entirely due to incorrect information given to us. We understand how frustrating it must have been to feel rushed at the first winery. It’s not how we want our guests to experience a tasting. While the guide tried to keep things moving so you could still visit all your requested stops despite the late start, we recognize that the vibe and pacing didn’t meet your expectations. As for the wine boxes and marker, you’re absolutely right—those little touches can make a big difference, and we’ll make sure that standard is met across the board. Regarding the last-minute change to your winery itinerary, we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication. While some wineries do fill up unexpectedly and we try our best to make substitutions that still offer a great experience, you should have been informed, and we take full responsibility for that oversight. You're also spot-on that the driver can make or break a tour. We’re glad to hear your previous guide created a fun, relaxed experience—that’s exactly the energy we aim for every time. We’ll be using your feedback to ensure better consistency in guest experience, regardless of the guide. Thank you again for being a returning guest. We’re disappointed this tour didn’t live up to what you’ve come to expect from us, but we hope you’ll give us another chance to make it right in the future.
Amadeus was a knowledgeable tour guide. The 5 wineries served us a variety of wines. All stops were on time. The views are worth it! The van was comfortable and full of new acquaintances by the end of the day. Recommended!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that Amadeus made your experience enjoyable with his knowledge and that you had a great time at the wineries. It’s great to know the on-time stops and stunning views added to the experience, and that you made some new friends along the way! We truly appreciate the recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back for another tour!
Had a fantastic tour of five great wineries. We really enjoyed visiting some of the smaller vineyards, and places we wouldn't have visited on our own turned out to be our favourites. Our guide James was terrific, very patient and knowledgeable, and he had lots of great stories that added to our trip. Everything ran smoothly and on time. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for taking the time to send us such a lovely review. James is indeed one of the best, and we will be sure to let him know of your lovely comments. We cannot wait to see you back in the Okanagan and here at Sip Happens soon!
