About this tour
When Em from our team caught this one in East Kelowna, we found ourselves standing around a proper farm fire pit on a Canadian winter's evening, warming our hands with a mug of mulled wine. The setup's straightforward: a guided tasting through the farm's honey wines, a sit-down by the flames, and the chance to build your own s'mores while the sun drops behind the vineyard. It's a 90-minute wind-down affair aimed at couples and small groups after a day of exploring the Okanagan region. Nothing fancy, just fire, wine, and marshmallows done well.
Highlights
- Honey wine tasting with a guide who knows the farm's production
- Mulled wine served hot straight from the fire
- S'mores kit — roasting sticks, marshmallows, chocolate sorted
- Actual working farm setting, not a tourist park clone
- Wheelchair accessible fire pit and seating arrangements
- Small-group format means no queuing for the flames
- Open flame cooking with proper safety setup nearby
What to expect
You'll meet your guide near the fire pit and settle into a seat — there's proper seating, not just logs. The tasting kicks off with a rundown of the farm's honey wines; they're distinct from standard grape varietals, and the guide walks you through flavours without pretension. Once you've got a sense of what the farm makes, you're handed a mug of mulled wine that's genuinely warming, not lukewarm. The s'mores kit arrives next — marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and a roasting stick. It's DIY from there, and the pace is relaxed; you control how long you stay by the fire.
The farm itself is quiet in winter, so you're not jostling with crowds. Wind can pick up come evening, so layering helps. The whole thing feels more like a mates' gathering than a scheduled tour, which works in its favour. One note: the on-site bistro shuts down at the end of October, so if you're banking on a meal, plan elsewhere.

Good to know
This is ideal for couples after a low-key winter evening, groups of mates after a day's skiing or hiking, or anyone who fancies wine and fire without the resort markup. The accessibility features — wheelchair access, stroller-friendly ground, service animals welcome — mean it's genuinely inclusive. Public transport options nearby take the pressure off driving.
You'll need your own ride to the farm (no pickup included), so factor in a taxi or hire car. Winter weather can be cold and windy; bring a proper jacket and expect to sit outside. The bistro closure means no hot food beyond s'mores, so eat beforehand. The prize-draw element feels a bit promotional and probably won't sway your decision. The 90 minutes moves quickly, so it's an add-on activity rather than a full evening's entertainment.
