Business Details
River Stone Estate Winery is a family-owned winery in Oliver known for its Bordeaux-style wines crafted from estate-grown grapes. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings, tours, and stay at their vineyard cottage.
Our Perspective
River Stone Estate Winery, situated in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, offers an authentic and intimate wine experience. The winery is located on a scenic knoll surrounded by hand-tended vineyards. This location was chosen for its ideal grape-growing conditions, allowing the production of premium quality wines. River Stone focuses on Bordeaux-style blends, with varietals including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, as well as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer.
The winery's tasting room, open daily from 11 am to 5 pm, welcomes guests for walk-ins or by reservation. Three unique tasting experiences are offered: the introductory "Taste the Terroir" tasting, the "Garden View Seated Tasting" which includes a more in-depth experience with vineyard views, and the "Vineyard Tour & Tasting" for a guided exploration of the vineyard with curated wine selections. Each tasting provides insight into the winery’s sustainable farming practices and winemaking techniques.
For those looking to extend their stay, River Stone offers a charming cottage within the vineyard. This cozy accommodation allows guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil setting and enjoy the vineyard's beauty. Special events like the weekly happy hour and themed dinners provide additional opportunities to enjoy the wines and connect with the winery team.
