Wineries Included in the 2025 Tasting Passport
Backroads Brewing
Located in the Watermark Hotel, Backroads Brewery brings a cozy, backroads cabin feel with wood tables and a selection of games to play while enjoying a pint (or two). This small batch brews beer at their Nelson location and on site, ensuring a fresh taste with every sip.
Tinhorn Creek
Situated in the heart of British Columbia’s Golden Mile Bench, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is a pioneer of the South Okanagan wine scene. Established in 1993, the winery spans 150 acres across two distinct vineyard sites: The Golden Mile Bench and The Black Sage Bench. These locations offer unique terroirs that contribute to the winery’s diverse and high-quality wine portfolio.
Lakeside Cellars
Nestled along the eastern shores of Lake Osoyoos, Lakeside Cellars is a family-owned winery that honors the region’s rich agricultural heritage. Lakeside Cellars specializes in crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of the South Okanagan, offering a diverse portfolio that includes both bold reds and crisp whites.
Black Hills Estate Winery
Located 13 km north of Osoyoos, Black Hills Estate Winery is renowned for its Bordeaux and Rhone varietals. The west-facing vineyards benefit from hot, dry days and cool nights, producing bold and flavorful grapes at harvest.
Stoneboat Vineyards
Known as the “Pinot House,” Stoneboat Vineyards’ vines thrive in the rocky, calcareous soil of the Black Sage Bench. The heat-retaining stones ensure that the soil and vines remain warm well into the cooler autumn temperatures, allowing the grapes to fully ripen and develop a rich, enduring Pinot flavor.
Liber Estates
Just a four-minute drive from Watermark Beach Resort, Liber Estates is a family-run organic winery situated along the river. Their wines are delicately aged in stainless steel or French oak, and for convenient enjoyment, the winery provides wine by the bottle or in individual-sized cans, perfect for sipping on the go.
Corcelettes Estate Winery
Located in Keremeos, Corcelettes Estate Winery is renowned for its Bordeaux varietals, Syrah, and Pinot Noir. Guests can enjoy a seated wine tasting on the patio, which offers breathtaking views of the Similkameen Valley.
Church & State Wines
Perched on the edge of the Coyote Bowl in the Oliver-Osoyoos region, you can enjoy your tastings on the patio with a view of the Golden Mile or inside looking into their barrel room. Unlike many wineries in the area, Church & State provides a relaxing atmosphere and welcomes walk-ins, offering you flexibility on your wine journey.
Nk’mip Cellars
As the first Indigenous-owned winery in North America, Nk’mip Cellars embodies the rich culture of its creators, the Osoyoos Indian Band, in every aspect. The winery is driven by the belief that they are “inspired to capture time in a bottle.” Nk’mip Cellars also features a world-class restaurant that serves locally sourced dishes on an expansive patio overlooking Okanagan Lake.
Nostalgia Wines
Nostalgia Wines is a hidden gem off the beaten path in Oliver striving to make memorable wine experiences. This female-owned and run boutique winery invites guests to pause and make moments to remember while exploring the wines.
15 Park Bistro
Situated within Watermark Beach Resort, 15 Park Bistro is dedicated to using regional and seasonal ingredients. The restaurant features over ten wines by the glass and boasts an impressive wine cellar for those who prefer to order by the bottle. If you’re in the mood for something different, try one of their seasonal inspired cocktails, such as The “Big Dill” Caesar or the Bourbon Maple Fizz.
Supporting BC’s Wine Community
Watermark is a proud supporter of the local wine community, with strong relationships with owners, wine makers and wine lovers.
With the recent hardships the wine community faced, the BC wine community needs your support. Every visit to a local winery and every bottle purchased becomes a gesture of solidarity. By partaking in tasting experiences and exploring the richness of BC’s wine country, you make a difference to the winemakers, their families and the Okanagan region.
