This venue is stunning. Once you step foot on the property you feel transported to grecian/roman style inspired architecture. The vistas are amazing as well. We visited the winery for a two course wine paired lunch. My husband and I tried four different dishes and two of them were extremely disappointing and fell extremely flat on flavours. The "Unearthed Farm's Greens" and the "BC Wild Sidestripe Shrimp & Fresh Durum Rigatoni" recipes should be revisited. The salad was missing salt and acid; the pasta dish was missing acid, flavour complexity, and presentation. The kale pesto did not enhance the dish and overall, the pasta was so overpowering that the meal tasted like plain boiled pasta. From a visual standpoint, a contrasting colour to the green dish would also help. After the meal, we purchased a bottle of 2016 Reserve Iced Wine Riesling. The day we were heading home we dropped the bottle on the driveway and headed back to the winery to re-purchase a bottle on our way out of Kelowna. When we got to the winery we were told we could not re-vist the wine shop because we did not have an appointment. We were told that at best we could wait around for an hour for the wine shop to "reset" and maybe we could go back in. That was extremely disappointing. We understand that these COVID times are tough and we are all trying to do our best but there could have probably been a way to allow us to re-purchase the bottle of wine rather than have us wait around for an hour in hopes that we would be allowed access. We were extremely disappointed and unfortunately, overall our experience was sub par.
