About Tantalus Vineyards
Behind the Lower Mission the ground lifts away from the lake shore into the orchard-covered benches that give this end of the Okanagan its shape, and Tantalus Vineyards keeps its address at 1670 DeHart Road, within that established residential district running south along the shore, close to the beaches, schools and quiet streets near the Mission Creek greenway.
The name points to a wine business, though what a shop like this actually stocks and how it operates can vary a good deal from one address to the next. Liquor stores in British Columbia range from small neighbourhood outlets with a general selection to specialty shops built around a narrower focus such as VQA wine, craft beer or spirits, and the stock, hours and any in-store tastings all depend on the individual licence. Anyone after a particular label or vintage does best to call ahead and ask what is actually on the shelf that day, since availability shifts with each delivery.
The number to call is +1-250-764-0078, and the website is at tantalus.ca. Summers in the valley are long, hot and dry, and the roads through this end of the Lower Mission see extra cottage and beach traffic in July and August, so calling ahead before making a special trip is worth the extra minute at any time of year. Arranging a driver in advance is worth doing too, especially if a stop here is combined with other errands in the district.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
