Meyer Family Vineyards

Meyer Family Vineyards is a family-owned winery in Okanagan Falls that has earned a devoted following for doing two things exceptionally well: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Crafting wines since 2006 and welcoming guests at its McLean Creek Road tasting room since 2010, Meyer takes a Burgundian-inspired approach, producing small lots of hand-harvested, hand-crafted wine totalling roughly eight thousand cases a year. The focus on just a few varieties best suited to the site has paid off with consistent critical acclaim, including high scores from national and international wine competitions and publications. Okanagan Falls, the sub-region between Penticton and Oliver at the south end of Skaha Lake, has quietly become one of British Columbia's most respected areas for cool-climate winegrowing, and Meyer is one of the producers most often credited with putting it on the map. Visitors will find the winery at 4287 McLean Creek Road, a short drive from the village of Okanagan Falls, where the tasting room looks out toward the dramatic face of Peach Cliff and the surrounding vineyards. Tastings and wine sales are offered daily, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming rather than formal: the winery is family-friendly, dogs on leash are welcome, and guests are invited to bring a picnic to enjoy on the property. For travellers building a tasting route through the South Okanagan, Meyer makes an ideal stop for anyone who wants to understand how site and restraint shape wine, since comparing its single-vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs side by side is a genuine education in Okanagan terroir. A wine club offers discounts and access to limited releases for those who want to keep the connection going after the visit. It is a small, focused winery that rewards curiosity.
