Reviews of TIME Winery & Kitchen (Winery)

Adrian McCluskey

I was recently in Time for dinner with friends and was about to leave a very positive comment because of the food we enjoyed and especially the service we received. Just before I did, I read a review recently left by Eye Tea EffSea. Apparently, this self described local businessman was quite willing to leave a scathing review that could affect someone's livelihood but just a bit too much of a coward to take responsibility for it by doing it under his actual name. Doubtless this gesture speaks volumes to his and wife's level of entitlement. I comment on his whiny review only because my friends and I had the pleasure of having Rose as our server and our experience was polar opposite to Eye Tea's. Rose was simply the best and her level of service helped make for a great night . She had an encyclopedic memory of the menu and the specials, she helped us pick a good wine to match our food and her attention to detail was a pleasure to watch. The food was wonderful as well (I highly recommend the beef short rib!) and we will definitely be back.

Has a great dining experience with Brittney who was a great server and recommended the Evolve Pink Effervescence. It is the most delicious drink I’ve ever tasted .. super bubbly and great for just having friends over on the patio or for special occasions. Thank you Brittney!

Daniel Andrews

WOW the wine, food, and overall experience was exceptional. We visited for a tasting, tour, and lunch and were absolutely blown away. The interior is stunning, the wine top-notch, and food tremendous. Can't wait to come back and learn more from their amazing sommelier Robbie.

Trevor English

Super tasty food with a great ambiance!

There aren't a lot of winery restaurants in Penticton open late so I was glad to find this place. Make a reservation ahead of time as it can get booked full for dinner. Service was excellent. We got some history from the server before ordering. I got the Time Burger and my friend got the Prawns and Peaches. Both were delicious.

(Translated) I loved my experience! The restaurant is really very good, the atmosphere is great fun especially for a dinner or a business dinner especially in a show evening. I advise you to do your tasting with Kelly-Anne and especially your sabrage, it is excellent !! (Original) J'ai adoré mon expérience! Le restaurant est vraiment très bon, l'ambiance est super le fun surtout pour un dîner ou un souper d'affaire surtout dans une soirée spectacle. Je vous conseil de faire votre dégustation avec Kelly-Anne et surtout votre sabrage, elle est excellente!!

We stopped by for tasting and enjoyed the wine and the host suggested to visit later for a meal. We did. 1) noone smiled.2) my wine was slammed to the table. 3) we waited allmost an hour for burgers with some vague explanation that it was because we ordered chicken and beef burgers. there where only 7 tables occupied and several ordered /arrived after us but received food before 4) we got a coleslaw as a chief's compliment, dropped on our table as waitress passed by. 5) burger was overcooked (supposed to be pink as per menu) waitress agreed itwit over but did nothing re burger, did offer a complementary glass if wine (which we refused) 6) atmosphere in restaurant was tense and we, sadly got no enjoyment. It's disappointing as we felt like place had lots to offer. We had a better experience at a local pub the previous. day. Sad.

Margarita Banting

What a memorable burger! The (fresh) ingredients were well chosen to make such a great combination of flavours. I can see how another guest drove from Vancouver for their original burger. Will be back.

No Okanagan wine trip is complete without meeting Robbie! My husband and I first heard about Time Winery as the sommelier, Robbie, previously worked in Niagara and we met through various events. We were so impressed by Robbie that we had to include his winery on our Okanagan wine itinerary. And we were so glad that we did! We were blown away by how friendly and knowledgeable he is about his craft. And the wines at Time were so delicious and interesting! In fact, we loved our first visit with Robbie so much that we booked a lunch and another tasting the next day to bring friends and family back to share with us! Time Winery does both Reds and Whites very well, and they showcase an extensive array of varietals. I especially recommend their 2013 Equity, which demonstrated qualities of mission fig, plum, and leather notes which was unlike most of the wines we tried from the Okanagan. And it's drinking fantastically now. Kudos to the Time Winery team, they have made life-long supporters of us, and we will certainly be watching for what they do next.

Heard there was a new venue in town. Enjoyed the greeting the moment we walked in. Good food, loved their Ceasors. Bought two bottles of wine on the way out. Great wines.......we'll be back with friends.

Tracy Van Wart

Wine was good, food was expensive and not great.

Michael 382

The best food I ever had my entire life.

Julianna R

Great place! Had a tasting and then sat down on the patio to eat. All servers were lovely and helpful. Food and wine were fantastic. We had our server just surprise us and make a up a board of a variety of items and they were all delicious! The Frites were amaze. And we also asked for a second helping of the almond brittle because.. wow!

Casey McCarthy

Kerrie-Anne was amazing, she guided us through the wines on the tasting. Showed immense joy and enthusiasm for the wines of the Okanagan valley. She clearly loves her job and the wine community. It was wonderful to see and learn about this growing region. To top it off, I thought every wine I tasted was AMAZING I struggled trying to decide which wine I was going to take back home. PS, try the bubbles from Evolve as well. They are amazing.

Dariana Garcia

Great wines with an excellent service!!

Mark Dee

We had a lunch there last week, it was amazingly good, everything was made in-house including ketchup!

Dawid Spamer

Time Winery is situated on Martin street in Penticton. This is a relatively new addition to this part of town and a must visit in my opinion. I really enjoyed the well redesigned, modern open space, as this once was the old movie theater. Time Winery offer some great wines amd one of my favourites was their Syrah. If you're a burger lover, do not pass the burger on the menu. It is one of the best I've ever had. I'll be back for sure.

Allan Wingenbach

Nice place, good food and wine. Unfortunate location.

Junko Yoshinaga

Very good foo and service !

Melissa Denise

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday. His sister wanted to surprise him by buying him a gift card, and the staff were so helpful in playing along! We started off with a flight of red wine each. The syrah was our favorite and we ended up ordering another glass of it. For starters we had the pork belly potachos, which is an interesting twist of nachos. It had yummy pieces of pork belly with potatoe chips and drizzled sauces. We also had the tabbouleh which was healthy and refreshing. For mains my boyfriend had the burger with the parmesan fries. The burger was so juicy and tender and we really liked the black garlic mayo dip. I had the pea meal pork chop. The meat was cooked so that it was still slightly pink and juicy. My fave! We also shared a side of salad. For dessert we had Bailey's coffee with beignet donuts. The coffee came with a cinnamon stick, which I've never had with Baileys coffee before. It added really nice flavor! All in all it was a great experience and the patio was spread out so we felt covid safe. Make a reso if you can because the patio only has 7 (or maybe 8) tables!

Nicolas Chevrier

My girlfriend and I went to Time Winery to treat ourselves and got an amazing experience. Great time and good wine discovery from Erika; we loved our tasting! Excellent service from Wendi who make our culinary experience one of a kind. We had the bruschetta (classic and artichoke YUM). The Burger was delectable and my girlfriend had the peach caprese salad. We will definitely come back after a good day of rock climbing. Good luck Time!

Mark Karstad

Good food. Original Burger with mushrooms was huge! Very flavorful. The Bruised and Squashed salad was less substantial than expected.

Mandy

BEST BURGERS WE HAVE EVER HAD. We came twice in one weekend while visiting the area. Great service & great wine too! Love the patio and openness of the place. Will go back next time I visit Penticton.

Frank Castle

Such great staff! Especially Kerri Ann ! Wine was incredible! Our friends took us here and we are sure happy we went! Love their Viognier !

Sandi C

We had a VIP tasting with Kerri-Ann. She was very knowledgeable, personable and all around amazing, (as were most of the wines we tried). Very clean, comfortable and modern atmosphere. We wound up taking home almost 2 cases of wine!! Lunch was also very tasty. We will be back!

Donlea M

Live music(was a bit too loud at times), great wine and food, and the service was perfect.

Russ Philip

The wine here is really good, they have done a great job with the renovations. It is a great place to hang out with an upscale menu.

sherry sun

Fantastic spot for a nice meal with friends; reserved a table for 6 for brunch, and the current layout of the restaurant is very spacious and open (the patio is connected to the inside). Our waitress was lovely and attentive while also giving us plenty of privacy. Charcuterie platters were delicious and a lot larger than expected, and everyone loved their recommended wines.

Tina Rahn

Great place!

Kristin Desrochers

Presented my legal drivers license and due to not having a second piece of ID was turned away and they refused to let me do a wine tasting. According to the BC liquor and gambling commissions, a second piece of ID is only required if the seller is not convinced the first ID is real or legit. She told us it was “the law” that all establishments must as for 2 IDs. This is false. Did you not want my money? No where else in BC or Penticton has ever asked for a second piece of ID and you think they are in the wrong. You are. As a winery you should know these things.

Ali Russell

WOW! Exceptional food and wines with incredible service from all the employees (S/O Britt & Robbie). It was the best way to beat the heat in the middle of the city while also having a high-level dining experience at a very reasonable price. You have to go and get the whole wine and dine experience though! We took a tasting tour with the very knowledgable and entertaining sommelier, Robbie. Our favourites included the Brute, Chardonnay, and Syrah. Afterwards, we sat for lunch and fell in love with the sophisticated atmosphere, but that was nothing compared to our culinary experience. We split the best burger and parm fries I've EVER had, the duck wings which were seasoned to perfection, and the mac and cheese that came with the biggest chunks of bacon! All of it was a DREAM. We sat and dined in the afternoon and were very thankful to have booked a reservation. What is great about this place is the location because it is right in the middle of the city of Penticton close to everything! Thank you for the amazing experience Britt and Robbie! We can't wait to come back and see all the exciting things that are up and coming. We will be back time and time again!

Nick Harris

Excellent: stylish “industrial” interior, excellent food, good service. Unpretentious. Would come again. Thank you.

Valerie Boivin

We had an amazing time at Time Winery. It's very cool as it's downtown Penticton, so quite pratical if you are in town and don't want to go too far or have limited time while exploring the area. We tried the sabering (very cool), and had our bottle our on the patio with delicious burgers! They even make their mayo in ketchup there, it's something else ;) We definetely recommended, thanks to Chelsea for the warmth welcome and Kerri-Anne for the exciting tasting!

Tj Nyce

Time is the Penticton prestige downtown location for wine and food. If you are new to the wine experience, Time will not disappoint with the flavor palate they have to offer. What makes this place so fantastic and worth going to is the food experience. The macaroni and poutine while hearty are off the charts delicious.

Pete Wheeler

In a word, this place is "fantastic". All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was excellent. Great wine selection. We had the beef dip and smoked turkey sandwich paired with a glass of rosé and a glass of cabernet franc. Now, pairing a cab franc with a turkey sandwich may not sound quite right, but for me, it was best kind. We will be back. BTW, they are in a beautiful building.

Boris Kazarez

Awesome wine, we really liked the Viognier and the Chardonnay. The food was also really really good, especially the Time burger and the Pork porchetta. Will definitely come again :)

Andrew Potter

Second time there now. Service was top knotch both times. Food is great, wine is awesome! Worth your time.

Anthony Chiew

Got to meet really nice and friendly people.

Scott Osborne

..Time was an absolute glorious assault on every sense. The building itself is incredible and unique, with beautiful bare wood beams. Our server Wendi was phenomenal; warm, kind and beyond passionate and knowledgeable about the food and wine she served us. Behind the bar, she made me arguably the finest Old Fashioned I'd had, complete with a smoldering sprig of rosemary. The food was amazing to say the least, and worth every dollar. Executive Chef AK delivered at every turn. Well thought out, balanced, and intense flavours, textures, even colors.. this is not your average dining experience. My lamb was perfect, fall off the bone to die for; and we had an in-house made sausage that fiercely rivalled all other sausages. Fiercely. My girlfriend had a burger which she referred to as "the best burger she's ever had". She isn't one to exaggerate.. and after reading some of the other reviews, I'm definitely having the burger next time we go. We had to get the chocolate dessert tray after such incredible food, and it didn't disappoint. I'm not a dessert person, but the bite of each dessert I had was very decadent. It was absolutely a night to remember; I will be eagerly returning and taking all my future out of town guests to Time Winery & Kitchen!

Jeff Fechter

It was good despite the cimpany

Kerry

I was hesitant on going for dinner at Time, but I was so glad we went. This food is awesome!!! I had the Nash-Villian Chicken...what can I say..the best chicken sandwich/burger I have ever had. This food is truly unforgettable. Don't pass this gem up.

Riley See

Amazing. Been to over 10 wineries and vineyards in the Okanagan for tastings and this place blows them all out of the water. Great atmosphere, very fun and very informative. The wines great too. Erika and Kelly were incredible, the amount of fun we had and knowledge we gained was far beyond any wine tasting we've ever done. Well worth a stop

Denton Morrell

By far the best burger in town.The chef was very personable and Wendi our server was knowledgeable and helpful with our wine selection. Chelsea the event coordinate showed us around and made our dinner that much better.

SJ Norie

Not overly expensive as prices go these days, excellent variety and quality of food, reasonable portions, good service. I enjoyed the Duck Confit special with a flight of wines. My favourite to accompany the duck was the white Meritage. I found its "spicy" overtones complemented my meal the best.

Tara O'Connor

Great burger however the appetizers sizes and side options left much to be desired. The manager was on premises and appeared to be too busy drinking and hobnobbing with regulars to address these issues.

Colette Thomas

Had an awesome tasting and lunch at Time. With such a large group the staff were organized and the meals were fabulous. Would recommend the wine and the food.

Michel Leroux

We dined at Time Thursday evening. Aidan Mayes was the invited artist. Things started off great with the gnocchi appetizer. My wife and I had the halibut. The halibut was overcooked. Later that evening my wife and I began to feel sick (food poisoning). As I write this Saturday morning I am still recovering and have not eaten since Thursday evening. The other four guests at our table had the half hen and were fine.

Reuben Lamb

Overpriced, over-rated, overdone.

Dwight Taylor

Outstanding wine and a wonderful lunch.

Nik Lynn

Great wine, and Robbie was the most amazing guide through out tasting. I've been to TONS of wineries and he has by FAR been the most knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions asked. Fantastic experience.

The food is amazing and the wine is fabulous. What a great place with great staff. Thank you for a great evening!

EyeTea EffSea

Great food but pricey and small portions great location, great premises, but horrible service from Rose, totally disinterested in us. I do not want to give my name away as a local businessman hence the throwaway name but we were a party of 6 on Sunday night. We ordered the flights of wine and she totally got those in the wrong order and when describing the wines sounded like a robot. My wife reckoned she was more interested in the chef than us.

Dave Altherr

Great service , great food , I would definitely go there again.

Kim Proulx

We went here for my husband's birthday, Maryice and Karianne served us and they were absolutely fantastic. It was my daughters first time wine touring and they really took the time to understand what she liked and didn't like about wines. They had awesome recommendations and went above and beyond. We will definitely return and bring others!

Alyson Whittle

Beautiful venue, amazing food, and great wine! ♥️

Craig Schindel

My wife and I stopped in for a glass of wine today. We had exceptionally friendly and welcoming service from multiple servers. The wine was great. We will definitely make it in for another visit sometime soon.

Brittany Traynor

Incredible food. The chef here is very talented and creative. You will not be disappointed.

Tyler Legare

The food was absolutely incredible, almost as good as the wine! This Restaurant/Winery is an absolute must! I ate the Duck confit panzanella and I was blown away.

Ross Axworthy

Great New downtown winery. Beautiful articture. Delicious menu and extensive wine tasting

Robert Byers

Food choices were unique and tasty. Wine bar tasting was enjoyable and memorable with unbelievable service. Wine was quite different than every average Merlot and Chardonnay. It was exceptionally good. So good we got home and ordered 10 bottles for Christmas.

Ronny Diack

To The Owner I run a business that substantially larger than Time Winery and Kitchen and I would never respond the way you just did. Thank you for taking Accountability for your restaurant I can see that it was our fault. Kind regards.

Cindy Broda

Kerri-Anne walked us through a lovely tasting of all of the TIME wines. She was extremely knowledgeable, was able to answer all of our questions and was a fabulous conversationalist. She had knowledge and stories of several wineries, the region and its history. One of the best wine tastings we have had.

Danielle Willrodt

Amazing food! Great service. But that chef is talented! Came back two days in a row

Hailee Winger

Simply amazing

Pawel Szczesny

Awesome food great service will be back 100%

Will Dean

A lifelong burger enthusiast, I have eaten burgers across the US and Canada. This place ranks amongst the best burgers AND fries I have ever had. Everything else is solid as well. I can’t recommend this place strongly enough. We will be back!!!!

Chad Hartin

We love Time Winery! It is easily the best burger in town! The 1/2lbs original is our fave. Normally my wife and I share it and it’s the perfect meal. Making what some people call an expensive burger at $20 only equal to about $10 which sure kicks butt over any fast food joint. Plus, the McWatters Meritage red wine is fantastic!!

Marina Shadeck

We've just had a lunch here, and it turned out to be a great success! The food is amazing: various menu options, delicious mushroom bruschetta, one of the best burgers we've had. In short, the food is a blast! Wines are great addition, you have an option for complimentary 5 wines tastings. Ambience and interior design are very beautiful too.

Marla Truman

Although I have not had the pleasure of dining there, the wines are always outstanding. Developed by the Okanagan Father of wine Harry McWatters and his family who have carved out the very existence of the now well known Okanagan Wine Valley!! You will not be disappointed!

Warrant

Great to have a winery downtown, stop in for a taste or have a bite to eat. Just another winner by Mr McWatters.

Jessie

Food and service was EXCELLENT. Thank you!

Jessica Rae

Wow! They have the best beef dip I have ever had in my life! I believe our waitress’ name was Brittney and she was absolutely amazing. Very beautiful tasting room with amazing wines! I highly recommend this place!

Isaak

Had the burger and half-hen, both were exceptional. One of the best burgers around, although that's also reflected in the price.

erik OLSEN

The service and burgers were good but if you’re only going to give a dozen fries with a 21+ plus burger you may aswell not give any the server did go back and give a proper portion but if you need to ask it’s not right.

Kelsey Kotzian

Robby was absolutely amazing. Great tasting and so much information about the wine. As a wine tour driver, I truly appreciated the information he gave to me and my friends. I learned a lot, and that is saying something

Kris Hughes

My fiance and a couple friends were here last weekend and had a blast! The food was fantastic, but honestly we were most impressed with our server Rose. She took such good care of us and made the night that much more enjoyable! Thanks Rose!
