Okanagan Wine Festival 2009 Hester Creek Winery

This was a very popular winery on the day we chose to visit their tasting room. The tasting room was so busy that we were not able to get to the bar for the tasting. We decided to leave and return later in the week but unfortunately, we never made it back. Hester Creek Winery may be one of the oldest vineyards in the Golden Mile of the southern Okanagan Valley. They produce Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Semillon/Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Trebbiano, Cabernet/Merlot, Merlot, and several reserves wines. They are located on the Road #8 south of Oliver on Hwy 97. Ph# 250-498-4435 or 1-866-498-4435

The Tasting room and wine shop were beautiful with a gourmet kitchen to die for. They regularly invite gourmet chefs to cook and pair wine with various dishes. A must see on my next trip to the Okanagan Valley. Maybe, I will return in April when they release their latest white wines. I think a stay at one of their Villas may be just what I need to evaluate their new wines.
