a week agoWe visited this winery while traveling from Vancouver, hoping for something special. We managed to get a reservation, but the overall vibe wasn’t that unique. The patio was extremely hot and uncomfortable to sit in for long. We did a tasting of 5 wines — they weren’t terrible, but definitely nothing amazing. All wines were from 2022 to 2025, so quite young and not very complex. The tasting platter for two was $20, but honestly very small and not worth it. In the end, we bought one bottle of rosé from 2024 for $52. There weren’t many better options — most wines were overpriced for what they were. Honestly, if you skip this winery, you’re not missing out on anything special.

in the last weekIf you didn’t arrive by 6 you won’t be able to sit down and enjoy the tasting. Then you will pay 15 for two estate wine tastings. Definitely not the best value around so would recommend making the reservation before coming. Great architecture and view though. Would love to come back one day.

3 weeks agoHad the most delicious lunch at CedarCreek. We had the 2 course dining menu with wine pairing and everything was so yum. The best buratta we’ve ever had! The views from our table were beautiful and the staff were all super friendly. Would definitely recommend

a week agoCame here for the 3 course dinner and it was everything you hope it to be and more. Atmosphere: industrial chic with a quirky personality. Spacious, luxurious. Concrete and steel with high ceilings, and huge windows. Eclectic decor with proper doors on each of the bathroom stalls for excellent privacy but old school subway-station round white floor tiles. I definitely enjoyed the feel of the place. You drive up a winding road to the gates and there are lights all around for a very charming walk as you enjoy the gorgeous view. Service: Very attentive and genuine! I know servers make small talk as part of the experience but some do it better than others. Joel was excellent. Food: It is everything you expect and more. I really appreciate how this fine dining establishment gives generous portions. We had the burrata to start and the flavour pairings were a perfect match. There were 4! wedges of focaccia, a lot of perfectly charred red onions (enough to bring out their sweetness and to get rid of the oniony smell when raw, but still crunchy - this was magic), the perfect amount of cherries. I wish we had more prosciutto because it was so good, I forgot to ration it to last through the whole dish. My mom had the bone-in pork chop (think tomahawk, but pork) and honestly this is a little bit of a flex that the restaurant could cook it so part of it was a little raw. This means that from farm to table, each step of the meat raising and processing was good enough quality to do this. Of course it made the texture so much better and the way the flavours could stand out so much more intense. I had the petit beef tenderloin with giant fries. The cool part about the giant fries is that you get the texture and aroma of fries but also that of baked potato in the middle. Your brain is confused, in a good way. They also give you an entire bowl of roquette with grated parmesan on the side so you feel like you've definitely gotten your (raw to boot!) veggies so you don't feel bad about the giant fries and meat you've / you're about to devour. Dessert : I was so full, I only had my half of the tiramisu the next day, at the end of a long drive to my next destination. It was still very excellent and perfectly balanced after a night in a hotel fridge and a day's car ride in a questionably cool cooler. I also ordered the jelly and custard, and normally I really don't like custard. This was different. It made me rethink every past instance of custard and realise that I just never had real or good custard until now. It was thick and just the right amount of creamy and paired perfectly with the intensely fruity duo of jelly on the bottom and fruit sauce on top. Both the jelly and sauce tasted minimally processed with the fruit sauce being just the right amount of sour so the red berries could shine through. This dessert is not showy and sounds deceptively simple and yet, would be the sort of thing you ask for as a last meal. It is the kind of dessert that you never forget.

3 weeks agoI booked a wine tasting for a group of 6 and i have some pros and cons to Cedar Creek as a local. Pros: it was nice to have a relaxed experience with our friends where we didn’t feel rushed. Our tasting host (a young gentleman - sorry I can’t remember his name!) was wonderful. He didn’t rush us, explained everything well, and we had good conversation with him. I have been to the winery before and it truly is stunning. There was a wedding going on so we couldn’t walk around too much - something to think about when visiting on weekends in the summer. Cons: extremely disappointed with the website and how they explain tastings. They make you think that you HAVE to book a tasting. Which while I would still recommend… it’s quite expensive. $40 tax in and you try the expensive wines (most were around $60+). We were told when we got there that you can actually walk in for a tasting but there’s not a ton of space. I emailed and called before booking and never heard back from anyone in 5 days. I booked out of default because some friends wanted to try the wine. While I do think the $40 is expensive, it was still somewhat worth it. The Okanagan in general has changed so much with wine tasting fees so for something “fancy” it’s not too out of reach. It would be nice if you could book a cheaper tasting for $15-20 and try their baseline wines. They also automatically subscribe you to their emails if you book online (I’m pretty sure I did not check the marketing email box). Overall, great experience with the tasting host. Disappointed in the online/phone customer service for clarification on tastings for the caliber of this winery. As a local I don’t “need” come back here unless someone from out of town really wants to come or is looking for an upscale experience. In addition, there are many more locally owned wineries that you can support vs big city owners.
