Reviews of Harper's Trail Estate Winery (Winery)

Olga Lissey

Delicious wines and a beautiful location. You must try their Chardonnay if you were previously not a big fan. To be honest, all their wines are surprisingly phenomenal.

Garth Sylte

Harper's trail was a very generic winery but very refined if that makes sense. They at face value appear to be a very average winery. However this is just to set the stage for the experience that is soon to follow. The staff are great, the wine is exceptional and the setting is pleasant. A definate must visit as regardless of what you look for in a winery you will be VERY glad you came. Definetly the perfect winery for everyone in your group.

Mickael Maddison

The location is quite beautiful and the wine is surprisingly diverse and enjoyable. We were very happy to take on the tasting and buy some Kamloops wines.

Dian Verwey

Good customer service however I feel the product is not great. Wines, in my opinion are thin and uninteresting.

Thaddeus Tondu

Allana Fantin

Tasting was wonderful and was well thought out due to Covid 19 to keep everyone safe. The staff were extremely knowledgeable with the wines that are produced and very willing to take the time to answer questions. Overall, great wines and great staff! I didn’t leave empty handed.

Good service and great wine.

Heidi Cannell - Morton

A great experience all around. Impressed by many of the wines and especially enjoyed our bottle of the Dry Riesling. Excited to see it won gold the day after we were there! Hope to come back and share a bottle of the Rose next time!

Annette Glover

Great spot, easy to get to & great tasting room staff. All whites were great, but, the Rieslings won us over!

Colin Lyons

Vicky and Ed have such big hearts. They put so much into their winery as well as their community. The experience at Harpers Trail is missed this spring except when you have a delivery arrive from them with some of tour favs. Thank you Harpers Trail. Amazing Wine! Amazing People! Amazing Experience!

I loved our visit to the Harper’s Trail Estate Winery. The wines were lovely and the staff were so incredibly welcoming.

John Cooper

Though a bit down a bumpy road from Kamloops, the trip is worth it. With roots as a working ranch, the Western theme fits right in. The whites, pinot noir were a delight and loved the 2018 Rose. Nice outdoor seating with great views. Bring a picnic in season.

Peter LeGresley

Great wine and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great winery and wine ladies are more then willing to help

Trevor Bergfeldt

We made a detour to visit this revered winery. Upon arrival we were greeted by a chained gate. Closed for the season! It would be nice if they posted hours on their website like most businesses. We won’t be coming back because who knows what their business hours are? Thanks for your prompt reply Vicki. I just went back to your website to check. Still can’t find the tasting room hours. Here’s a view of the menu

Nice place for a cheap but good wine tasting with friends in Kamloops! There is also a spot where to enjoy your own picnic.

Adam Payne

My friends and I were very excited to visit Harpers Trail, as we heard great things. However, we were very disappointed with the customer service. The server was inattentive, not personable, and did not make an effort to communicate with us. She was not interested in serving us or discussing the wine, she was preoccupied with telling her co-worker about her day. The sample sizes were extremely small, and in combination with the poor service Harpers Trail was certainly not worth our time.

D'arcy Hodge

after tasting we bought the pinot noir, white field blend and the gewurztraminer

Robert Fifik

Great service with friendly staff. And great wines.

Lorraine Westman

Love this winery, definitely a frequent visit for our family!

We attended one of the music and wine events here this past summer. Really nice location, great music and delicious wine. We paired with our own picnic food so that was pretty good too :) surprised to hear that they are selling... ? hopefully the new owners will maintain the high standards.

Fun place to go wine tasting ! They have quite a large tasting room, I always feel welcomed by the friendly staff and they provide really great service! And a bonus for me is that they’re only 5 minuets down the road from where I live! ????

Best Winery in Kamloops

Leanne G

Nice patio to enjoy a picnic with some wine.

Tina Burridge (MsTLB)

Great tasting experience. Very helpful. Next time we'll bring a basket and take advantage of the picnic area.

Down the road from the impressive and imposing Monte Creek is another winery proving that Climate Change is greatly expanding the potential of British Columbia to sow grapes. This is Harper’s Trail, and I must first thank them for even being open on a chilly March afternoon. Another winery whose name escapes me (obviously) had yet to open for the season. Unlike Monte, Harper’s Trail was unknown to me. I had not seen or even heard of them before. I appreciate their use of traditional grape varietals, proving their sustainability at this latitude. And given the human race has ignorantly walked past the tipping point to stop global warming, this sustainability will be easier in a region growing each year. Yes, hundreds of millions of lives are in danger across the world given our irresponsibility towards manmade climate change, but at least we’ll be able to grow grapes in Alaska eventually. The winery itself is unpretentious and effective, a pastoral country theme with exposed natural wood all around. The view from outside is almost ominous, with distant mountains and massive empty blank fields. I enjoyed the wine as well, especially given they’re reasonably priced. There’s even a fantastic picnic area I wish we could have taken advantage of. Not only that, but my girlfriend got her bead (long story, she’s obsessed). Harper’s Trail is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming, and I recommend visiting Harper’s Trail after Monte, only because Monte can be a little overwhelming

Richard Viventi

Fantastic experience Very relaxing Great wines!!

Timo Karjalainen

Very nice place and enjoyable wines. Very much liked the whites, must be the soil that gives them such rich taste. Definitely worth a visit.

Melkalver Melkalver (Johnny D)

Winery with some history to it in Kamloops. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Found all the wines to be very crisp. Large fields surrounding the building are beautiful, however the building is very uninteresting.

Irina Nikiforova

Having a great time at Harper’s winery! The location is amazing, they have great views over the valley and tranquil atmosphere. Wine is great, would recommend Field Blend White, really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for welcoming atmosphere, will definitely be back!

Alex Taylor

Wow. Great wines, great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and when you go to pay and realize they're great prices too - it's all in one package! If you can only stop at one winery while driving through Kamloops, make this your stop!

Debbie Anne

Sadly detoured too and met with locked gates - even when advertising being open!

Good wine. Friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

Jenelle Dempster

Had a great evening here! I'll be back for sure!

(Translated) It was a great success to come to this place. You have several tasting options. We choose the one that includes the least amount, which later turned out to be quite a lot and if you buy a bottle they no longer charge you. The best thing is that you can take your own picnic and buy there the bottle that they put the glasses and the ice there and you take in a very pleasant patio. But this is just one option, there are others. They are very friendly, highly recommended. (Original) Fue todo un acierto venir a este lugar. Tienes varias opciones de cata. Nosotros elegimos la que incluye menos cantidad, que luego resultó que era bastante y si compras una botella ya no te la cobran. Lo mejor es que puedes llevar tu propio picnic y comprar allí la botella que ellos ponen las copas y el hielo y lo tomas en un patio muy agradable. Pero esta es tan sólo una opción, que hay otras. Son muy amables , muy recomendable.

Heather Alter-McGrath

Harper's winery was very cute and small. The space was kind of the stereotypical winery and the tasting room was simple yet elegant. What really wow'd me was their wine!!!!!! I normally prefer red wine over white, however, I walked out with six bottles of white wine. The Chardonnay was remarkable. I could not help myself so I ended up purchasing four bottles! The prices were very economical for the quality of wine.The lady who conducted the tasting was really sweet and outgoing with great energy. Overall I highly suggest you visit this winery their wine won't let you down!!

Brennen Smith

Good winery (but not our favourite on our 3-stop winery tour in the area). The tasting sizes were a little smaller than the other wineries and the selection was much more limited (5 tastings but only 5 wines on offer to taste; the others had selections of 8 at one and about 12 at the other). If you're going here, don't miss the winery 4 km down the road!!)

VALERIE Flood

Beautiful place with good wine!

Julia N.

Pet friendly tasting patio. Friendly staff and great wines!

vidhi kanpara

Great experience and excellent customer service. We got to know a lot about wines. We would definitely visit again.

Taylor Hopper

Very shockes that they do not redeem tasting fees with a purchase of wine, considering no other wineries in the kamloops area or Okanagan do this. The wines aren't bad, but are not nearly as good as sage wood or Monte Creek.

Mike George

Wine tasting available from mainly estate grown grapes. $5 tasting fee per person, waived if you buy a bottle of wine. Plenty of on site parking. Can be busy in the weekend.

Barb Bawlf

Cabernet Franc fantastic!

Gail Hutchison

Great wine tour event today.

Kyle Jack

This was a cute little winery. The wine they produce is fantastic! We really enjoyed the dry reisling. By far my favorite wine. I was a little disappointed we weren't able to tour the winery, but the taste of the wine made up for that. We will definitely come back to visit!

Amanda Boehlke

Everything i tried at this winery was amazing. I am not a fan of rosé, but theirs was amazing! The usual wines i love (pinor noir and reisling) were some of the best i have tried. They had two kinds of reisling one sweeter than the other, both were delicious. The staff were friendly. I think this is my new favourite BC winery.

Jessica J

Overall this winery is really great! The wine was amazing, the prices were amazing, and the customer service was really good. The front area when you drive in is super cute and the background scenery is beautiful. It's quite small and there's not a ton to see like there is at Monte Creek winery, but it's definitely worth going! No complaints at all. It's close by to the Monte Creek Winery too. It was a great experience!

Jessica Sowdesy

Love the layout and wine!!!

Cristine Hill

Great patio area and amazing wines! Love the fruity notes and bitter Rieslings.

Lowell Williams

Excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Great music on a friday evening. Highly recommend.

Glen Morris

Great wines served by an awesome crew. Bring a picnic and hangout on the patio after a tasting!
