Because it was so hot we had some of their refreshing Harvest Rose, which really hit the spot!The charcuterie box had some nice meats cheeses, fresh local cherries, some olives and a nice jelly to spread on the crispy crackers. It was delicious and a great way to spend the afternoon!
My friends and I tried coming here for a tasting.Unfortunately, they discourage Splashers and Dashers and I believe the price we were quoted was $25 or $40 per person.We declined, but were allowed to go downstairs to check out the wine cellar area which was cool.Plus, it 's a castle. That 's just cool.I never tried their wine, but every business is free to export wine as they please. Although us Splasher and Dasher folk are discouraged from coming here, I can respect they are aiming for a specific atmosphere.
An amazing location with great views. Their specialty is red wine, especially the John Oliver collection. Love the mediaeval look of the production facility. There is lots of outdoor seating here as well.
Road 13 Vineyards is not your typical winery. It's a family-owned operation that focuses on expressing the terroir of the Okanagan Valley, a region that has been producing wine for over a century. The winery is located on a strip of land that runs along the western slope of the valley and has a unique microclimate and soil composition. The winery grows mostly Rhone varieties, such as Syrah, Grenache, Roussanne and Marsanne, as well as some old-vine Chenin Blanc that dates back to the 1960s.I have visited Road 13 Vineyards on several occasions in the last 7 years. On a sunny and extremely hot afternoon in August, and was greeted by the friendly staff. We were offered a tasting of four wines, each representing a different aspect of the winery's philosophy and style. $22 per tasting fyi) There are deals for groups.The first wine was the 2019 Honest John's White, a blend of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and Viognier. It was a refreshing and aromatic wine, with notes of citrus, peach, lychee and ginger. It had a crisp acidity and a slight sweetness that balanced well with the spicy and floral flavors. It was a perfect wine for a hot day, or to pair with Asian cuisine and that is saying a lot for me since I mainly dislike Chardonnay and Riesling due to the fruit forward aspects.The second wine was the 2018 I forgot the name, a blend of two white Rhone grapes that are rarely seen in Canada. It was a rich and complex wine, with aromas of honey, apricot, almond, and white flowers. It had a full body and a creamy texture, with flavors of ripe stone fruits, nuts, and herbs. It had a long and elegant finish, with hints of minerality and spice. It was a wine that could age well or be enjoyed now with roasted chicken or creamy cheeses like cambozola.The third wine was the 2019 Syrah Malbec, a blend of two red grapes that are known for their intensity and color. It was a dark and powerful wine, with aromas of blackberry, plum, pepper, and smoke. It had a full body and firm tannins, with flavors of dark fruits, licorice, and tobacco. It had a long and rich finish, with notes of leather and earth. It was a wine that could stand up to any meat dish, or be savored on its own.The fourth and final wine was Seventy-Four I believe. It was a dry and elegant red wine, with notes of cassis, and mint woven through a matrix of soft, silky tannins in a medium frame. The overall impression is of a seductive wine that is carefully crafted to drink well now and for the next few years.I have and continue to be impressed by the quality and diversity of the wines at Road 13 Vineyards. I would recommend anyone who wants to taste the very best that Canadian wines have to offer. Of course, your tastes may differ, but I always visit Road 13 when I tour the vineyard in Ossossys, and you should too.
This was our first time in years coming back here and we had heard great things about the new ownership. Very disappointing experience, for starters I’m not sure the tasting experience was worth the $40 unwaived fee for 4 reds…. Not to mention our taster hounded us about membership the entire time and didn’t seem to know much about the wine. If I’m paying $40, I do expect an actual experience.
