Très belle endroit, nous sommes arrivés à 10:15 😒un peu tôt mais nous sommes en vacances. Le personnel est super gentil et nous décrit bien leur produit…

Pas le choix de repartir avec de belle trouvailles, Merlot / Syrah très bien fait!

Such great wines, and amazing customer service at this hidden gem. If you love good quality red wine don't just drive past, do yourself a favor and stop here. The price point is slightly higher on the wines, but the quality is unmatched in the area!

Wow - it tastes like Napa Valley wine!! Best reds in the entire region. They come at a steeper price-point than most starting at $43.99 for the Merlot & Syrah but worth every penny in my opinion and the value is there. Gorgeous venue.

Had a great experience at the winery with friends. The wines are spectacular and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, letting you explore at your own pace and level. Can’t wait to open the Large format CO-FERMENT! Howard and Wendy Soon are awesome ambassadors for the brand and the Okanagan-Similkameen wine industry!

Our second time here and the service is always amazing. The first time we came to the winery was last year, and we met two couples while waiting in line. They didn't have a wine tasting reservation so we told them they could join ours. Unbeknownst to us, they sneakily asked us which were our favorite wines and then secretly bought us two bottles. We only found out once they were gone so we didn't get to thank them!! Fast forward to today and we are back for our second time. We felt very safe during the tasting and lots of covid protocols were in place. The wines all tasted spectacular, and its not a surprise that Vanessa is one of our favorites. The lady who led our wine tasting was really friendly, approachable, and educated on the wine selection (I am so sorry I forgot your name). I ended up getting 3 bottles of the Syrah plus a Reidel wine decanter made just for Vanessa Winery. We will be back again for sure!

2nd time back to this gem in Cawston. If you're eve in the area, probably one of the best in the area!

Beautiful tasting room with minimalistic décor with the exception of the gold bottle walls.

The first we had was lovely as the hostess really did take her time to go through the wines with us and even went to pour a few vintages that was opened for staff to taste. With that, we left with a case of the delicious 2013-2014 vintage Meritage. Note this trip was back in 2018. I just opened the 2014 this past Christmas for dinner and it was divine.

The second from August 2022 and the winery finally brought in some whites, although not their grapes but sourced from the area.

Will be back if I ever find myself in the area again.

Wonderful visit, excellent wines! Tia(?) was our hostess - she did a great job of pouring and discussing the wines and the winery history. She introduced us to Howard Soon - Howard is high energy, engaging and clearly passionate about wine-making. Very much enjoyed the conversation and the wines! Thank you!

In August, we stopped at the winery on our way out of town after a week long wine tasting vacation. To our delight, this tasting had some of the best wine we'd tasted all week.
We bought several bottles of wine and someone even carried it out and loaded it in to our vehicle for us.
Yesterday evening, I tried to buy more Vanessa wine online and ran into a tiny snag on the website. I left an email message well after what I thought was normal business hours and received a message back shortly after.
The problem was resolved very quickly and the service was fantastic!

Looking forward to my shipment and Vanessa will not be just another "stop" on our next visit to the valley, it will be a destination.
