What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Niche Wine Co.'s spectacular vineyard views and the unique, high-quality small-batch wines. The friendly service, reasonable tasting fees (often applied to purchases), and the charming 'Outside Inn' cabins are frequently highlighted as major draws. Some find the drive up a bit remote, but agree the destination is well worth the journey.
"A little hidden and up the hills, but this winery has fantastic views and excellent wines. We went for a tasting, tried 5 varietals, and got excellent service. It was a hot day but we were comfortable in the shade and still got to take in the truly phenomenal Okanagan lake views! Appreciated one free tasting with the purchase of 2 bottles. Will return!"
A. Mitchell
"Amazing wine, views, and service. This is a small batch winery, locally owned, and so different than other wineries in the areas.
Tastings are only $12 and can be used towards a purchase of a bottle (who is still doing this??). The staff were so friendly and upon purchase of the wine, was surprised there was no tip option on the machine (again, where else do you see that).
My fave was the foch. Quite rich and tasty. All wines are reasonably priced.
Can’t wait to go back to this hidden gem."
Kieren Gale Armour
"We had the chance to stay at Niche for 2 nights + taste their delicious small batch wines. The Rosé was our favourite! The view and the comfort of the container cabin were memorable. Thanks to our hosts and cheers 🥂"
