Rollingdale är en familjeägd farm gate-vingård i fantastiska West Kelowna, B.C., där landets historia är rotad i fruktträdgårdar med äpplen, persikor och körsbär. Efter att ha legat bar i flera år, planterades vinstockar först 1999, inklusive Marechal Foch, Pinot Gris och Pinot Blanc. Vingården öppnade 2004 med sin debutårgång och utökade med tiden sin vingård till att omfatta Merlot, Chardonnay och mer Pinot Blanc. Certifierad ekologisk sedan 2007, Rollingdale är stolt över sina ekologiska metoder, odling av druvor och hantverksviner som återspeglar deras djupa engagemang för hållbarhet och marken. Skål på vin med samvete! Njut av 4-5 vinprovningar, med tid att handla ditt favoritvin!
Off the Grid Organic Winery har varit i Paynter-familjen i över 100 år! Ursprungligen från Alnwick, England, kom Edwin Paynter till Kanada 1909 med drömmar om jordbruk och köpte 80 hektar på Västbanken. Efter en snabb återkomst till England för första världskriget kom han och hans fru tillbaka 1919 och började odla och så småningom delade landet mellan sina sju barn. Idag driver Edwins barnbarnsbarn, Travis, Sheri, Nigel och Hayley, stolt Off the Grid, och håller familjens jordbruksarv vid liv med en modern twist! Här kommer du att njuta av 4-5 provningar med tid att shoppa ditt favoritvin!
Välkommen till Frind Estate Winery på 3725 Boucherie Road i West Kelowna, BC, där historia och vin smälter perfekt! Denna natursköna plats var en gång hem för BC Premier Bill Bennett och hans familj, och den är genomsyrad av arv, med Bills pappa, W.A.C. Bennett, som har varit premiärminister och president för Okanagans första vingård, Calona Wines. Varje flaska Frind Estate-vin har stolt en gyllene tallkotte, som symboliserar vetenskap, Bacchus vinmagi och de vackra Ponderosa-tallarna som inspirerade den. Grundaren Markus Frind, ett matematikgeni, hämtade inspiration från Fibonacci-sekvensen som finns i tallkottar, som också finns i Kelownas stadslogotyp. Skål för en klunk historia och en nick till landet vi vårdar! Njut av 4-5 vinprovningar, med tid att handla ditt favoritvin!
Kalala Organic Estate Winery, eller "Miracle Place", handlar om harmoni med naturen, och tillverkar prisbelönta viner från ekologiska druvor i vackra West Kelowna. Karnail Sidhu, en tredje generationens ekologiska bonde, förvandlade sin passion för hållbart jordbruk till en blomstrande vingård efter att ha flyttat till Kanada 1993. Karnail började på Summerhill Pyramid Winery och planterade så småningom sina egna ekologiska vingårdar och öppnade officiellt Kalala 2008. Med en rolig och välkomnande atmosfär, kan du promenera i vingården, njuta av provningar och chatta med Karnail själv medan du njuter av skarpa vita, djärva röda och deras berömda ekologiska Icewines! Här kommer du att smaka på 4-5 viner med tid att handla ditt favoritvin!
Familjen Slamka satte sin prägel på West Kelownas vinscen efter att ha flyttat från Tjeckoslovakien och planterat sin första vingård 1969. Ursprungligen planerade de att sälja druvor till stora kommersiella vingårdar, men 1996 hade de tre Slamkasönerna lanserat Little Straw Vineyards! Deras debutsläpp 1994 fångade essensen av West Kelownas sommardruvor, och sedan dess har deras viner speglat årtionden av passion och tradition. Med nya vingårdsblock och moderna vinframställningstekniker har deras 12-acre paket producerat unika viner som fan-favoriten Auxerrois i deras Frizzante och Tapestry, såväl som deras läckra Foch-vin. Efter över 50 år skickade familjen Slamka facklan till Kalala Organic Estate Winery 2021 och lämnade efter sig ett bestående arv i varje flaska. Njut av 4-5 vinprovningar, med tid att handla ditt favoritvin!
Fantastiska viner kommer från platser där vinmakare lägger sina hjärtan och själar i att tillverka flaskor som verkligen speglar deras unika omgivning – där vin handlar mer om konstnärskap och mindre om bara en annan produkt. Gå in i Okanagan/Similkameen, ett vintillverkningsparadis där druvor trotsar oddsen i vinvärldens norra utkant. Här gör utmaningen med en kortare växtsäsong att vinstockarna arbetar hårdare, vilket resulterar i viner med en distinkt brittisk columbiansk stil. Med magin i våra sjöar, kullar och jordar är det inte konstigt att våra druvor trivs och producerar något alldeles extra! Njut av 4-5 kostnadsfria provningar och tid att handla ditt favoritvin!
Sarwan Giddas dröm om att tillverka viner i världsklass började med hans far, Mehtab, som anlände till Kanada 1958 med bara $5 och en uppsättning metallservis. Mehtab, en erfaren mangobonde från Indien, bosatte sig i Okanagan Valley, och anpassade sina kunskaper till äppelodling innan Sarwan och hans fru Sudarshana gav sig in i druvodling 1978. De levererade till toppvingårdar som Grey Monk och Mission Hill samtidigt som de gradvis förvandlade sina fruktträdgårdar till vingårdar. Även om Mehtab har passerat, fortsätter hans arv med Sarwan och hans familj som driver vingården Volcanic Hills Estate, som grundades 2010. När du besöker kommer du att mötas av Sarwans barn, Christina, Bobby och Amit, som alltid är redo att dela deras familjs vinframställningshistoria. Njut av 4-5 gratis vinprovningar med tid att handla ditt favoritvin!
Redan 1980 köpte Kirstin och Natashas föräldrar en tomt som hade en gammal, övergiven vingård, utan att veta att den en dag skulle bli The Gallery Winery! Snabbspola framåt till 2013, när saker och ting blev allvar – att jämna ut landets knepiga terräng startade äventyret. 2015 planterade de sin allra första vinstock och, på hösten, tog de sin pålitliga traktor och bytte officiellt penslar mot jordbruksredskap! Ladubyggnaden startade 2018 och förvandlades efter några kreativa uppgraderingar till The Gallery Winery 2020. Deras första skörd rullade in under 2018, och 2021 planterade de ett underbart Cabernet Franc-block och avslutade vingårdens renovering lagom till kl. falla. Heja denna konstnärliga, vinälskande duo! Här kommer du att njuta av 4-5 provningar med tid att handla!
The Modest Butcher ger dig rätter från jord till bord utan anspråk och den bästa matstämningen i Okanagans vinland! Med en fantastisk cocktailmeny, hantverksöl och viner från hela världen (plus deras egna prisbelönta Mt. Boucherie-plockar), är det den perfekta platsen för alla tillfällen - snygga eller avslappnade. De köper lokalt kött när det är möjligt, men drar sig aldrig för något fantastiskt, de har "ätit med Reckless Abandon" sedan 2020. Så, oavsett om du firar eller bara umgås, kom in och #DineRecklessly medan du stannar lite # BeModest! Här äter du lunch (kostnaden för lunch betalas direkt till restaurangen) Observera att vi kan välja en annan restaurang på vinleden beroende på tillgänglighet.

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!

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!
