About
Our winery is evidence of what one man with vision, determination, and a little luck can accomplish. Proprietor and winemaker, Ted Kane, developed a passion for winemaking at a young age. Many Alberta winters were spent learning and planning how to accomplish his ultimate goal; owning and operating a winery in Canada's premiere wine producing area, Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. 10 years after acquiring it, this perfect piece of raw land has been transformed into a 7 acre vineyard producing several varieties of high quality fruit, a fully functioning winery with a boutique tasting room and, most importantly, our family home. We specialize in the Bordeaux varietals, but also have a selection of white wines and a unique, full bodied Malbec Rose.

    Outstanding
    Excellent as always. Garden Seating Tasting was amazing and their new Grab & Graze basket was outstanding. Weather was perfect and I’m glad to be a club member as their wines are delicious. Very knowledgeable and made sure all our questions were answered.
    Hi Debbie, Wow, thank you so much for your awesome review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our new Grab & Graze pack and the tasting experience overall. Thanks for being part of our River Stone Family and I'm sure we'll see you again soon! Cheers, The River Stone Team

    Great wines, informative, beautiful location
    River Stone is a beautiful little winery that we explored while visiting Oliver. The wines were great, and Ingrid was really informative, educating us on the winery and wine in general. Afterwards she even provided us with suggestions for food pairing for the wines we purchased. We were so impressed we joined the wine club!
    Hello! Thank you so much for your excellent review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. Welcome to the wine club and I'm sure we'll be seeing you again soon! Cheers, The River Stone Team

    AMAZING Winery and Tasting Experience!
    We visited the winery on July 5th and had an AMAZING experience with Ingrid as our host. She was extremely knowledgeable about the winery and all the wines, very friendly, witty, and she even shared a couple of her favorite recipes with us to be paired with the various wines! Our friends from Calgary said 'it was the best wine tasting experience they have ever had'. This winery is a definite GEM with stunning grounds, excellent wine, and fantastic service. Thank you!
    Hi Kimm, Thank you so much for your outstanding review! Wow! We are so happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience with us and that you enjoyed the wines. Thanks again for stopping by and I'm sure we'll see you again! Cheers, The River Stone Team

    Small boutique winery
    We had a garden view tasting and it was very nice. The woman steward (sorry, I forgot her name) was very knowledgeable about wines. It had turned windy on the day we visited but they also had blankets in case we needed warming up. The charcuterie board was in packages meant to be like a picnic. There were two hard cheeses and two salamis served with rose wine jelly and crackers. We enjoyed a lovely wine tasting with our snack that wasn’t rushed. Their tasting room was a bit small so we enjoyed being outside. A nice surprise was they gave us complimentary Riedel wine glasses to take home. It is a nice souvenir to remember our visit from US. Thank you.
    Hi There, Wow, thank you for your awesome review of our winery! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us and we're thrilled that you had such a great experience. Our charcuterie picnics are new this year and seem to be quite a hit! Enjoy the wines and I'm sure we'll see you again in the future. Cheers, The River Stone Team

The Okanagan winery experience is excellent. The River Stone is a high-quality, small production, family run winery with good wines. The quality of the vinyards, the tasting facility, the family home and the gardens are exemplary.

The problem for me is, the wines are not great. They do not represent value. The prices are medium high, and the wines are only average. The tasting price is not cheap at $10 for four 1 ounce samples.

Still, I recommend a visit. The experience is memorable.

Hi Ricky, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and for visiting our winery! We're sorry to hear that you weren't fond of the wines. Wine is a very subjective thing and we understand that not everyone will enjoy every single wine, and that's ok! Thanks for recommending us and we hope you'll give our wines another chance in the future. Cheers, The River Stone Team

Fantastic tasting experience in the open air hosted by Dave who made us feel very welcome. Beautiful surroundings and the wines .. well they are simply delicious . We like red wines so did not taste the whites and our host was very helpful in tuning our tasting experience in this regard . Dave did encourage us however to taste the Malbec rose and ... yes we loved it ! Thank you Dave! We have never been to a wine tasting where we have really enjoyed ALL the wines tasted .. truly wonderful wines .. we loved the Cornerstone and Stones throw in particular .. but really it was hard to choose our favourites as all the red wines we tasted we thought were delicious, all with their own character. A must visit winery in the Oliver region .. fantastic outdoor hosting experience on a beautiful summers evening , in a beautiful location with really delicious wines . We will be enjoying these wines for many years I am certain and we will be back to visit next time we are in the area .

I went here on a trip with friends and don’t know a thing about wine and am so glad we did! Our guide Ali was extremely knowledgeable about the vineyard and the wines we were tasting and I learned a lot and the wines were incredible, each more delicious than the last! The favourite at our table was the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc hands down, we all ended up buying a couple bottles each to take back home. A wonderful experience overall, I highly recommend River Stone the next time you find yourself in the Okanagan, especially if you’re a wine noob like me :)

The people at Riverstone Winery always make us feel like they are glad we came by. They are friendly and very knowledgeable. The wine is consistently among the best that we have tasted and we never fail to leave without buying a case to bring home

It's pretty here... friends told us this was a charming and great winery to visit. Unfortunately it appears they have grown a lot in size and are now are having growing pains. We had a totally different experience here than our friends described. We will not be back.

Always have a great visit to River Stone. In addition to the beautiful setting and outstanding wine, the RSE Team are a pleasure to deal with. Knowledgeable, professional and fun. They make the experience outstanding. Starting with Leslie and her "What ever you need" attitude to Wes the taster dude, everyone was amazing.

As member of their club I look forward to each year bringing another great wine to experience.

Keep up the amazing work!

With 5 days of wine tasting in the area, this was one of our clear favorites. The wine tastings were varied and interesting, and we were surprised particularly by their sparkling white merlot and their "Stones Throw" red. The server was warm and knowledgeable, and the grounds are lovely.
I honestly can't remember if there was a tasting fee, but if there was, it was very low.

First impression’s matter, what a magnificent setting with the vines running up the hill to the house and tasting room. You are met by a member of the R/S crew who books, you have to book, you in and introduces you to your tasting host who is very knowledgable of both the grapes used in the excellent wines you can savour. It’s so nice not to be put under pressure of either buying or time. After which we decided to sit on the terrace with a box of charcuterie and wine, extra to the tasting, enjoying the view over the vines. We would recommend both a visit and the wine it is excellent.

We had a wonderful tasting experience!!!The wines were amazing. Each wine we tasted was described in detail and the selection was tailored to our requests (ie: no reds please). Ingrid also took the time to ensure that our visit went above just a tasting by educating us on which grapes were grown where on the estate and why!!! She answered all of our questions. Thank you! We will be back and will recommend your winery to family and friends.

Such a beautiful place to spend time outdoors trying fabulous wines. COVID protocols are great, wines are absolutely amazing, and Leah was warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. So many favorites there is not enough space to list them all, bit definitely pick up the Sparkling White Merlot, Malbec Rosé and Merlot Syrah before they are gone.
