With four generations of agricultural heritage and more than a quarter century of experience, we have pursued perfection and produced some of the valley's best wines resulting in CedarCreek being twice recognized as "Canada's Winery of the Year".Mother nature has been kind to CedarCreek with breathtaking views and excellent growing slopes also making it a gorgeous wedding venue. One can enjoy wine tastings at our year round wine shop, explore the vineyard trail, join in on an educational winery tour, or savour lunch at our seasonal Vineyard Terrace Restaurant.

“Absolutely astounding !”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

I visited this winery in July, 2012. This is situated on the east bank of lake Okanagan. Access to this winery along Lakeshore Road is not impressive. But once you pass through the gate, you find yourself surrounded by stunning scenic beauty. I cannot imagine a place that can be better maintained than this. This winery is one of the... More

“One of the best in the area”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

The Kelowna area is packed with wineries, and this is one of the top tier in terms of quality of wine. Must visit if hitting the wineries in the area. Quality and selection of the wines is superb. Did not try the restaurant.

“Must Visit”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

An estate winery that still has a free wine tasting room with a knowledgeable staff. You will most definitely walk out with at least a couple of bottles. They have a very fine "Ehrenfelser" Rieseling.

“Most consistently good wines top to bottom!”

Had a fantastic tasting over the easter weekend. Tasted at a fair number of wineries up and down the valley last weekend and was most impressed by Cedar Creek's wines. Excellent quality across the board. Always impressed by the bang for the buck of their merlot and like the last writer I loooooooved the "M". Enjoyed it with some nuts,... More

“Not Bad at All!”

Reviewed 29 October 2012

Stunning view from the winery, parking beside aisles of grapes is pretty cool too! The wines here were very good, however not the varieties I typically drink so I won't say comment on them much. The white Madeira they make here is delicious though! Wow! Platinum 'M' is its name and I would highly recommend paying the $60 or so... More

Hello Jenks303, We are the only winery in Canada to make Madeira style wine! Its a long process, with a min 5 year of barrel again required to be done directly under the summer sun, so we haul the barrels out each summer, in if it rains, back out when its hot and then back in for the winter.

This restaurant has nice seasonal indigence and features local cuisine, but the menu is limited and a bit expensive for what you get. We tried the Sunday brunch. For two, our bill was $70 and we each had a breakfast sandwich style meal. On the plus, the outdoor patio has a nice view of the lake and the staff do... More

“Best wine in the okanagan”

Reviewed 6 October 2012

Not much to do here except try some of the best wine in the Okanagan, and my personal favourite their Pinot Noir. Unfortuatly tours are rare and there is no resturant open whenever i was there. I dont think there is one but I am not sure.

“25-Year Tradition, They Must Know Something About Fine Wine!”

Reviewed 28 September 2012 via mobile

Cedar Creek Winery hosts summer concerts, dinner series, and wine festival events. The grounds are impressive with a spectacular view overlooking Okanagan Lake. They also make some of the best wines in the Okanagan Valley. Twenty-five years in the business, they must know something about wine! I highly recommend sampling the 'Platinum' wines, you'll find them pleasing to the palate!... More
