Spectacular winery, with the most knowledgable staff I've ever experienced. Pleasure to meet the winemaker who answered all of my questions. The bang for the buck for their Rieslings are unmatched in BC, imo. Also the beautiful carvings and artwork in the winery made this a most memorable experience.

Modern winery with a good range of wines. We were well looked after by an Ulsterman who had a good knowledge of the wines and of the vineyard production. THe views of the lake are stunning with fantastic wines to match. This was a really good visit.

I have visited this vineyard a couple times now and have found I enjoyed and learned even more the second time round. Our tour guide Jane was very friendly, and informative and helped make our visit a very fun experience. The Tantalus Reisling is a favourite mine and would recommend all to visit this vineyard and sample all their wines.

Your comments are very much appreciated. Our tours are private for the simple reason we want our visitors to experience the vineyard and winery in a relaxing and unhurried manner, with time to discover the true essence of what it takes to make great wine. More

Upon arriving, we were met by Jane who proved to be a very accommodating, knowledgeable host. She toured us throughout the vineyard and winery. Great tasting wines, with my favorite being their 2011 Riesling. This forward thinking winery is a very worthwhile stop while in the beautiful Okanagan.

Driving up to the vineyard one cannot but notice the rolling hills full of orchards and vineyards. Upon arriving in the courtyard you notice the spectacular view of Okanagan Lake and the city of Kelowna nestled below in the valley. Entering the winery one notices that there is some different going on here as compared to other wineries. The white... More

I have just found my new favorite white wine. Lots of apple notes but wonderfully balanced. We had the wine at lunch today at the Yellow House and we are looking forward to a visit to the winery this weekend. If the rest of their wines are as good, the wine cellar will see a few more bottles added.

Weve been to this winery at an earlier time and like the upgrade. The wine label and consistency of the Reisling are world class. A wonderful wine to share but one must enjoy it too. The shop has a great view (few gifts) and is a lovely quick visit.

The tasting room at Tantalus is designed as a gallery with the lake view as the picture window and would be ideal for a small wedding party. The host (canadian wife of owner) was very knowedgeable of her wines and took us through the range slowly and in detail. It was apparent from the taste of the wines and her... More
