The wine and cider were both amazing everything we tasted was really good. The service was incredible and gave us choices and recommendation based on what we told her we liked. They even had some of the ciders we liked on sale so we took some of those home!

What an excellent place to go and sample wine and cider. You can grab a drink and sit out in the orchard and enjoy the fresh air. Highly recommend this place, make a stop on your list!

We were here as part of a tour, and this is actually a winery and a cidery operating under different names by with the same owners. Both the wines and ciders are very good.

I’ve been to Wards and the View before for tastings and had a good experience. We brought a friend of ours for a cider tasting since it is fall and I love their fall flavours. This experience was way below what I’ve ever experienced in Kelowna tastings. Not only was the staff who did our tasting completely uninterested and smug with us, he was also completely uninterested in telling us anything about the property or the story, just sticking to the product and the flavour of it basically. We had to ask the questions and pry the information from him, and even then it was delivered in a dry and unexciting way. Sad part is he said he’d worked there for 6 years! We had someone with us who was driving and asked about something non alcoholic to drink and was told they have nothing, all their products have alcohol, which I guess he wasn’t wrong but we did discover that right behind us was a whole cooler full of non alcoholic products from other suppliers he could have suggested to us for our driver to enjoy while he waited. The ciders were lovely and we did purchase some despite the poor tasting experience. This staff needs a refresh, clearly he is burnt out on visitors.

What a delightful 6th generation family affair. The historical building and real knowledge of the staff made for an excellent tasting. We went to taste the ciders, all with 5 variety of apples and no added sugars. We loved the flavors which were complex and truly different one to another. My favorite was Wards original and the ginger apple. My husband choose to taste the wine, and while usually primarily a red drinker, he was over the moon with the dry Riesling. He also enjoyed the 2020 Pinot. We'll be back again with friends.
