Reviews of Rollingdale Winery Inc (Winery)

Greg Abramoff

Wow! One of the best experiences we have had tasting wine here in Kelowna. It is a small quaint winery with no BS. We had an excellent tasting and tour from Brennan. He really made our time there great. He was very friendly and quick to answer our wine questions and improve our wine knowledge. This is not a flashy winery but absolutely worth the time to check it out!

Tess Brilling

Neil was an absolute gem! He was so friendly and informative on the organic wines of Rollingdale. All the staff were nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend this winery for its homey atmosphere and great vibes

Mic Show

Such a hidden gem!! Loved this organic winery! The chardonnay is my new favourite. Will be back for more!

Wayne Lin

Amazing staff and great wine, it is a smaller winery but definitely a great place to check out.

Thomas Husemann

(Translated) Great Winery! Very nice wine tasting, in the end even went to the house. You can talk really nice with everyone and taste very delicious wines. Only to be recommended! (Original) Großartige Winery! Sehr nette Weinprobe, die am Ende sogar aufs Haus ging. Man kann sich richtig nett mit allen unterhalten und probiert sehr leckere Weine. Nur zu empfehlen!

Elisa Aguiar

Best customer service, the nice gentleman was helpful and very knowledgeable. They were enthusiast about making organic traditional and artistic wine. For sure a must visit (hidden gem) in the Okayama Valley.

Joe Crump

This relatively small batch wine producer presents as both conscientious stewards of the environment with their organic focus and happy to share information about their operation with the consumer. Not a fancy facility, the tasting happens in their air conditioned quonset hut. Staff are very personable, and on our second visit this year we picked up their 2016 Sauvignon Blanc and their 2017 Cabernet Franc. Very sad they ran out if their 2016 Organic Estate Pinit Gris; it was unusual, delicious and reasonably priced. We like a dryer white, and a full bodied red with medium tannins. We cherry pick our purchases in this region, often not buying anything after tastings of they are not remarkable. Mission Hill is a cattle-drive like operation, and while the location is beautiful and their samples generous, we only found their most expensive wines as interesting but over priced. Summerhill was friendly and also generous, but we left without purchasing anything.

Reeta Shandil

What a gem! We were passing through the wine trail and decided to stop by; so glad we did!! This is a small winery with a variety of organic options. It was by far the best customer service and most delicious wine we have tried. We ended up purchasing all the wines that we tried. Neil was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He is an asset to the business!

Alyssa Neis

Chardonnay is fabulous. Has hot bottling guys half of the time. Highly recommend.

George Yeulett

The wine was great and our host, Pebble was awesome!

Cynthia Rougoor

We thought we would try to do a tasting at the modest winery. We were delighted to have such a knowledgeable and pleasant host. The wines were exceptional and we left with almost a full case of wine!! We will be back to restock next time we are in Kelowna.

Peachland Taxi

Not the prettiest tasting room, but certainly the best information on wine and how it was made. Great wines great presentation by John.

ANTHONY MARTIN

Rollingdale Winery is all about “The Experience”... As soon as you walk through the front door, immediately you are immersed in this positive, relaxed environment. Steve and his staff are extremely knowledgeable in their organic wines and ice wines. The staff are not pretentious, thus always making a wine tasting fun and educational. More than once I have purchased a glass or a bottle of wine and headed up to the picnic tables on Rollingdale’s acreage to enjoy the view. Many thanks again Steve to you and your staff. Cheers Anthony

Kathleen Lochhead (Kate)

What a lovely experience. Quaint and rustic area. Staff was so fun and friendly. The wines are unique and taste great. Will be going back.

Livvy Dee

Ashley you rocked our tour! You were so knowledgeable and fun, thank you!

Damian Herman

Came in for a tasting today and was blown away by the Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and the ice wines. The wines here are great!

Mark Procknow

Fantastic boutique organic winery. The Estate Merlot is a winner every vintage, and they are known for the Marichel Foch. You will find this gem, A short hop off the Westside Wine Trail. Enjoy.

Paul Campbell

Great wines.

Leo Poon

Best host ever! Came to rollingdale with uncorked wine on a slow day. The host gave us amazing test tour and walked us through on the fantastic stories about how rollingdale's wine are made. Bought couple ice wine right after we tasted it, simply just irresistible !

Eoin Brady

Great as always

Jeff Mcfarlane

Had a great tasting experience. Knowledgeable staff and good wine.

Armand Rashid

Really knowledgeable tasting team that was fun and relaxed. Their chardonnay was our favorite and we really enjoyed their pinot noir. Definitely looking forward to the wines they produce in the future. Be sure to check them out if you are in the area they are certified organic.

Lynn Cochran

Lovely little winery with very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Shelly Windsor

So friendly! Took the time to explain the process of wine making and the wines were wonderful! Certified organic made them extra special

Mark Tilbury

Pleasant staff, one or two of the nine wines were very nice (bought some).

Michaël Tremblay

Great wine tasting experience and very informative. It is a small winery plus we went in the winter so we really had a personalized experience. Good selection of wines and icewine. If you are planning your own winery tour, I would recommend stopping here.

Michaël Tremblay

Went in for a bottle of wine. The lady in there was very nice and provided us with some good information about the wine. I liked how they put the residual sugars besides the wines so you could really relate the sugar to the taste. For us we are white wine drinkers and they had a good variety and even some red ones that drank like white with no tannins. It doesn't have the glitz and glam like some of the other wineries in the area and that is what we were looking for.

Mike Thomas

Easily and by far the best winery of today's 4 visits. Peble is the greatest wine tasting experience, you just want to take her home she's a living joy. If she isn't a part owner she should be... The port style Fort wine was a real treat and their merlot is a shockingly complex and explosively tasty product. Their blush wine puts rose types to shame.. and it's a really authentic atmosphere.

Danielle Harshenin

My fiancé and I visited Rollingdale Winery for the first time yesterday. Rollingdale was one of 12 West Kelowna wineries participating in the “Sip with your Sweetheart” self-guided wine tour event. When we arrived, we were a little unsure of what to expect because the tasting bar is located inside a windowless, dome-shaped metal building. However, once inside, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and got a glass of wine in our hands ASAP. We sampled quite a few different Rollingdale wines, all were delicious. We also enjoyed the Purdy’s chocolate station – which had 3 different chocolates to select from and a Purdy’s staff member to chat with. The chocolate paired nicely with the wine and added something special to our overall experience. Highly recommend this winery!

Korisa H

What a great find today! We had exceptional service, and discovered some new favorite wines. I highly recommend you make this a stop. The adorable dog that greets you is an added bonus.

Alyssa Deville

Love this winery . Stop by when ever I'm in the area

Hayley N

Rustic winery. Great wine and service - not a sit-down place, so it’s a good quick stop on a winery tour.

Faby Martinez

Best wines in the area and Robert was the best helping us out! ❤️thank you!!!!

Erika Benacka

Absolutely top notch experience, great wines, friendly and knowledgeable staff. We got to know a lot about the wines. Were able to taste many of them and they were so good we left with 6 bottles despite being on a budget!

Konstantin Neykurs

you have to stop here, try their unique wine and chat with the owner! on our wine route this is first winery that offered quite distinct flavour of merlot and others! definitely recommend!

Rick Windsor

This may be the best kept secret on the west side of Kelowna. Shhhhh... don't tell anyone else! Their certified organic wines are a hit with everyone. Their port is a treat beyond description, and in extremely limited supply. The staff here has as much an organic disposition as their wines. A tasting here is more fun than one can imagine, so don't try, go do it.

Jeff Siemens

Great experience and great wine! Very friendly and helpful staff!

Taylor Reid

Really warm welcome at the wine shop! Very informative about the wines. Not doing tastings at this time but we purchased the Rose which was fantastic!

Ash Dixit

Neil was amazing and very friendly, he managed to explain the qualities of each wine to our group, which consisted of people ranging from wine novices to experts. Highly recommended

Ellie Hogan

This was by far the best sampling deal we came across: 4 whites, 4 reds, a Fort and an ice wine all for $5? Yes please! Our server was lovely and knowledgable, and even though most of the wines we had were unremarkable, the ice wine was very tasty.

David Proulx

Great wine, particularly the Whites.

Hilda Lemus

Loved our experience at Rollingdale and we are so happy we discovered this hidden gem. Try the “Fort” if you’re a port fan. You’ll love it and the bottle is very reasonably priced.

Holly Zhou

Awesome white wines and delightful service!

Jason Mahara

Great little winery. Host was super knowledgeable and friendly. Awesome wines.

Sarah Watson

Amazing wines and amazing staff. Love the merlot and Pinot Blanc. It's obvious they really care about their wines here.

Meena Gill

By far the worst wine tasting I've had. Though we tasted a lot of wines we were barely given a sip to taste. I understand it's a small operation, but I'd much rather taste fewer wines so I can get a better feel for what the wine actually tastes like. Would have bought much more wine if I could have at least gotten a few sips. A shame the tasting process is so silly. Other wineries we went to on our tour def did not give us the same experience.

Jessie Elizabeth

Amazing owners with unreal tasting wine!!! I’d come back here any chance I get!

Vrinder Sangha (vSangha)

Great winery, I would recommend this to everyone coming to Kelowna. Plus it's organic !!

Tim Mah

Great customer service. They offered my son a juice box since he was waiting at the wine tasting. They have a picnic area with a view for the non taste. ????

Chan Chan

My favorite wine!!!!!

Pongo

The standout of the tasting was definitely the 2017 Estate Pinot Gris! It tasted like icewine-lite. Rollingdale also offers a good variety of whites and reds. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely visit again!

Ty Brandt

My favorite winery, we 1st visited in 2016 when we evacuated from our home due to wildfires and have been coming back to stock up every since

Lisa Zhang

A small winery with a big passion for organic wine. The staff at Rollingdale are wonderful. The tastings were informative and didn't feel rushed which is appreciated.

Britt Fingzies

Rollingdale was fabulous! I wish I got the gentleman's name who guided me through the tasting here because he was so incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the wine here. The wine itself was delicious and the covid protocols in place made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Peter Boyd

Had an awesome wine tasting experience! So friendly and personable! Great tasting wines. Good prices too! Overall, a really great place to go and enjoy!

Robin Soon

One of my favourite winery in Kelowna.

Melissa Brooks

This was one of our favorite wineries we visited on the west side. Will be returning. Thanks so much to the owners to helped us! Do not miss this stop on your tour!

Brittany Sapiuk

Great wine tasting! Knowledgeable and charming staff!

Bridget Benoit

Stellar wines. Intimate, organic wiinery. Love it!

Charlie Kemp

Absolutely loved this little place! Our wine connoisseur (I didn’t get his name) was so lovely and passionate about the wine, and was able to answer all our questions with such enthusiasm! We loved every single wine we tried and walked off with the most amount of bottles of wine we have bought from a winery. Very much recommended!

A C

This is a winery tucked away in the hills in the area. Definitely a must to check out, their wines are pricier compared to some of the other nearby wineries but they are amazing to go to for tasting at least. They gave me a proper introduction to ice wines which were new to me. If you have a pooch feel free to bring them, as their sign in the front says, "Dogs are welcome, people are tolerated."

Heather Martin-Detka

Visited Rollingdale during a girls' weekend, and all three of us agreed that this was our favourite winery from our tour.

Jackian Chow

Nice ice wine collection. Well-educated staff that taught us a lot about wine. Was allowed to come with our dog, which was fantastic.

Alexis MacMillan

A must stop on a West Kelowna winery tour - turn Left off Boucherie Road and make it your first stop of the day. Wine tasting is right in the winemaking area so you feel like you're walking right into the operation. Staff and owners are happy to share their wines and tell you all about the process while you enjoy their wines and icewines. And they love dogs!

Ilya Makarov

Amazing wine, amazing service, highly recommend visiting!!!

tinny tso

Like others have said, the staff here are super friendly! We were (still are) very new to wines and the staff here was very patient and explained everything to us. It was a very educational wine tasting tour :) and we enjoyed it a lot

Alexandr Byelan

We were only customers on Victoria's day first thing in the morning and got amazing test tour. Had bought few bottles and Chardonnay become a favorite one. Highly recommend to go there. You wont be disappointed.

Sydney

If there were more stars, I'd give them. These are the friendliest people of all 12 wineries we visited this past Easter Weekend. The lady gave us such a warm welcome, and took care of us like we were old friends. I told her I didn't really like dry white wines, which were all that were available at the time, but she took me outside for an exclusive tasting of the wine that was still fermenting in the giant tank outside. Best experience in Kelowna I've ever had out of the handful of visits/stopovers over the past decade.

John Bozich

OMG...we are visiting from Washington and North Dakota. The lady was so knowledgeable and so friendly and funny. Bought some great wine there. Totally worth the visit!

Jay Graham

Best one we visited! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Art Gagnon

We went here for happy hour, and sunset time. We were not disappointed by the view because it was beautiful. We ordered several glasses of wine and my friend ended up getting a bottle since she found her favorite. We also got some appies ($5 each) but the food was just ok. The service is fast and efficient. Overall, we would come back here again.

dustin penner

Such a great experience! The tasting was delightful and Peble was great. I wish it went on longer but that’s my only complaint. They also allow you to purchase a glass and go walking around the vineyard or up the hill to enjoy the view.

Vee Cee

Great selection of wines for tastings. Very friendly staff

TF

Rollingdale was the first winery we visited on our ladies weekend in Kelowna. Giles was an expert in all matters of wine; sharing his wealth of knowledge and history on grapes and wine making. We had so much fun during our tasting and found it hard to narrow down our favourites. We left with certified organic varieties such as Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, Foch and “Fort”and returned again a few days later for another visit and to restock! Excellent wines, priced well, casual atmosphere and INCREDIBLE service. I urge you to visit Rollingdale Winery if you are in the area to see for yourself. Thank you’s to Giles from Winnipeg and Thunder Bay!

Paul Bailey

Great place Fun wines

Ilya Shoimer

They will let you try 5 wines, or all 8 with smaller pours. Great tasting wine. Good service.

Shannon Hussey

This was my favorite winery in Kelowna. They had the least pretentious vibe, but hands down the best wines. For flavour alone, 10 stars. Made it really hard to only get a few bottles instead of going broke here. Staff was really passionate about the wines. Great stop on your winery tasting list!

Kelvin Chan

Amazing. Love the staff here, their wines are tasty and they have very unique and creative processes in their organic winemaking

Tyler Harasymchuk

always a great time at this little gem of a winery

Stone Honed

Great wines, charming atmosphere, and passionate tasting staff who seem really involved and care about their product.

Judy Ediger

Had an awesome time wine tasting today... Brendan was so informative and was so fun... cant wait to go back. The Estate Pino Gris was my favorite. Thanks again rollingdale ( Brendan) for a great time... love this place..

Suzanne Walters

My fiance and I stopped here on the way back from Kelowna to Westbank. My father had passed away the day before and I wanted to do something uplifting. I was not disappointed. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who did our tasting, he was fantastic. We didn't buy a lot, but they treated us like we did. A must stop, very kind and lovely wine. I'll be sure to send friends and family when they visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Rob Benzie

Fun fun fun

Mikaila F

SO amazing!!! Fantastic wines, laid-back space, fun and helpful staff, and exactly how a Winery should feel! It wasn't pretentious at all, as so many places around here can be. The views were stunning, you can go check out there estate grown grapes, and the wines are the perfect expression of the Okanagan Valley. We laughed and had a great time, and I will absolutely be back! My favorite Winery so far in the region!

iphilk

Great small winery with good wines

Bernie LJ Huang

Friendly staff and nice wine

Kayleen Hughes

Peble was so friendly, informative, and personable. Every wine we tasted was fabulous!! We will definitely recommend this to friends and family, and will be back!

Nicholas Beck

Super small and intimate winery. Highly recommend coming here for a much more personalized and interactive wine tasting as opposed to the larger more commercialized operations.

Francesco Singh

Nice staff, building isn't fancy but their wine is good

Lucy Andrews Koropchuk

Very friendly & welcoming despite being at the start or finish of the "posh" West Side Trail.

Ashley Haak

Amazing as usual. Thank you! Great hospitality.

Greyson Chen

There are great wines and very kind employees. There are amazing service the wines are absolutely amazing. Very recommended????

(Translated) I bought it once last year and it is delicious. In a few days we will go to buy (Original) 去年買過一次，好喝。過幾天我們將要前往購買

kat Stirling

Very informative and very tasty!

Andrea R.

Great organic wines, try the Port

Allen Lou Burke

I hate to tell you about this place. Then everyone will go and we may not get our favorite wines as they will run out. But seriously. You Neeeed to try them!

Nick Klobenstein

(Translated) Very familiar and welcoming (unlike some other vineyards which appear so rich that the atmosphere is impersonal). We were well received and the tasting is $ 4.95 instead of $ 10 or $ 15 in the other large, more commercial vineyards. And if you buy a bottle, the tasting is reimbursed. In addition, since we were the only ones there, instead of having us taste 4 wines as planned, we were given a little less wine per glass, but we were able to taste the entire menu, i.e. 11 different wines. Then, it is one of the only two certified organic vineyards in the valley. (Original) Très familier et accueillant (contrairement à certains autres vignobles qui apparaissent tellement riches que l'ambiance y est impersonnel). Nous avons bien été accuillit et la dégustation est 4.95$ au lieu de 10$ ou 15$ dans les autres gros vignobles plus commerciaux. Et si on achète une bouteille, la dégustation est remboursée. De plus, étant donné que nous étions les seuls sur place, au lieu de nous faire goûter 4 vins comme prévu, on nous a mis un peu moins de vin par coupe, mais nous avons pu goûter toute la carte soit 11 vins différents. Puis, c'est un des deux seul vignoble certifié bio de la vallée.

Paul S

No fuss, easy going, and good wine.

Ying

Glad we stopped by this winery! Beats those big fancy wineries any day! The experience was personalized. We learned so much about wine. 10/10 recommend

Robyn Rodocker

Very welcoming, knowledgeable! Too bad we don't live here to go more.

Ching Yin Ng

Its the best to see my Auntie's winery

Kelly Hall

AMAZING- the quality and knowledge is unmatched- must visit

Anita Warren

Rollingdale Winery is the epitome of grace and charm! We have gone on numerous wine tours in the Okanogan Valley, and keep returning to this charming little winery. It is always the first stop on our wine tours and we make sure that we load up on a great selection. A lot of times we will go to the bigger wineries only for tastings but will walk away empty-handed and head back to Rollingdale to make our final purchases. The reds are amazing! We also love their selection of ice wines - a perfect pairing for evening entertainment around the fire with some great Brie or Camembert.

Gina R

We went on a wine tour that included a couple of the larger companies nearby. Although those places were nice, they did not compare to the welcoming environment of Rollingdale. Neil was very knowledgeable and made recommendations based on each person's preference, as opposed to a set offering of samples. He also made restaurant recommendations in the Kelowna area. We went to one and it was great! (Salt & Brick)

Noel Abraham

This place is awesome! The wine of course Is delicious but man oh man the customer service was TOP NOTCH! And that shout out goes to Neil and another associate I do forget her name but she was absolutely fantastic. Every interaction was as personable can be, and even though I didn’t know much about wines she really helped me understand it better and made me feel special and like all that mattered in that moment was myself. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Highly recommend this winery to everyone! It may look simple on the outside and not like your typical fancy wineries but it’s so far from that! The customer service is amazing and the wine is incredible!! And at the end of the day it’s not what the building looks like it’s how you are treated and how the product is! Well done rollingdale!

Kira Wolf

We visited Rollingdale on our Teehouse wine tour. The staff at Rollingdale was nothing short of fantastic. They were knowledeageble and extremely welcoming to their industrialized winery. The staff at Rollingdale even stayed open late for us so we could swing by and get an extra box for our wine at the end of our tour! Highly recommend Rollingdale and Teehouse Winetours to everyone!

Travis Smith

Knowledgeable staff and brilliant wines, can't wait to go back!

Trevor Seaman

Great wine and even better people. My favourite winery. Don't need a fancy building to make guests feel welcome and the organic wines speak for themselves. I will be back again and again.

Shimei yu

My favourite winery in Kelowna. Compared with some big commercial wineries and other small wineries. The people are very knowledgeable and nice. And the wines are awesome and tasty. The price is great too! The hidden gem in Kelowna that I will check out next time! Thank you for the great experience!!!!! Love it!

Anna Collins

Excellent wine made by excellent people. The owner is usually around and gives generous tastings! and it's organic!

Mike Abrams

Fantastic wines and tremendous staff. A hidden gem not to be missed.

Donna Martin

Absolutely loved this place. We met the owner and did our tasting with him. Loved the wine, the experience at this winery. Would recommend stopping and buying.

Carolina Collao

Rustic little plave with excellent service and wine. One of the best priced and tasty icewine!

Britt Fingzies

This may be the best kept secret on the west side of Kelowna. Shhhhh... don't tell anyone else! Their certified organic wines are a hit with everyone. Their port is a treat beyond description, and in extremely limited supply. The staff here has as much an organic disposition as their wines. A tasting here is more fun than one can imagine, so don't try, go do it.

isabelle verville

(Translated) Despite our basic English, we have a very good description of the wines which are also excellent (5 to buy out of the 6 tasted). Also, lots of fun with the staff! (Original) Malgré notre anglais basics, nous avons eux une tres bonne descriptions des vins qui sont d'ailleurs excellent (5 d'acheter sur les 6 dégustés ). Aussi , beaucoup de plaisir avec le staff!

Gail Smith

Staff was very friendly and and very knowledable, amazing wines that are all organic and compete with big wineries in prices

Brenda Cholette

By far this was the worst wine tasting that I have experienced. As soon as we walked through the door the rude girl behind the counter gave our driver trouble for being late, his schedule said that he was on time, clearly there was a scheduling conflict, but our group of 11 did not need to know any of this... It was super unprofessional and it was very awkward for all of us to be a part of this interaction. We were given some very stingy tastings with out much of any explanation, at one point I had to ask what I was trying. This put a bit of a damper on the rest of our day, such bad energy here! The only good thing about this place was the puppy, he gets 5 stars.
