The View Winery & Vineyard

The View Winery & Vineyard is a family-owned estate winery in the hills above Kelowna, in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Perched on the East Kelowna benches overlooking the city and Okanagan Lake, the winery is run by a family with deep roots in local agriculture, having farmed the area for generations as orchardists and grape growers. The estate vineyard is planted to cool-climate varieties, and The View has become particularly associated with Pinotage, a relatively unusual grape in Canada, alongside aromatic whites such as Gewurztraminer and Riesling and a focus on sparkling wines.

Visitors to the tasting room can sample the estate's hand-crafted VQA wines while taking in the elevated views that give the winery its name. The View is known for its fun, fashion-inspired branding, including playfully named wines and eye-catching labels, which gives the tasting experience a relaxed and approachable feel. Beyond wine, the property has also produced cider, adding another dimension for guests to explore. The East Kelowna location places it within easy reach of the city while still offering a quieter, scenic vineyard setting away from the busier lakeshore routes, making it a pleasant stop on a day of touring the Kelowna-area wineries. Guests can typically expect guided tastings, bottles available for purchase, and a warm welcome from a family-operated team. As with most Okanagan wineries, tasting-room hours vary by season, so visitors are encouraged to confirm current times and whether reservations are needed before planning their visit. The View offers an enjoyable mix of distinctive wines, family heritage, and memorable Okanagan scenery.
