Elephant Island Orchard Wines is a hidden gem tucked away in a 5 acre cherry orchard specializing in fruit wines. We made a stop here to try something a little different from the other wineries.
Tasting Barn
The tasting barn is where you can do a series of tasting, shop for wine and purchase other items.
Since the tasting barn was super crowded, there was barely any room to move, so they opened up their patio for a more comfortable tasting experience.
They also sell cheese too if you want to purchase some to go with your wine.
Patio
With the weather so nice, having a seat outside was perfect. We all sat down and their amazing staff guide us through all the different types of wines.
Our complimentary tasting included:
- Pear Wine
- Cherry Wine
- Black Currant Wine
- Blackberry Wine
- Crab Apple Wine
- Apricot Dessert Wine
- Framboise
- Cassis
All of them were really good and the fruity flavours really shine through. Of them all, Black currant and cassis really stood out to me.
Final Thoughts
Overall, it was one of our favourite wineries during our time on the Naramata Bench. All the tastings are complimentary and they give you a good range of wines to try.
