About O'Rourke's Peak Cellars
Wine bought close to where it is grown is the appeal of an address like this one, and O'Rourke's Peak Cellars keeps that address at 2290 Goldie Road, on the slope above Okanagan Centre at the southern end of Lake Country.
A shop trading under a name like this one is likely built around wine, though exactly how deep the range runs, and how much of it comes from the surrounding benchland rather than elsewhere, is worth asking about directly. Private liquor retailers in this valley differ a good deal in floor space, in cold storage, and in whether staff will special order something not already on the shelf. Small production wineries along this stretch often need a call ahead outside the main summer season, since staffing a shop like this can be lighter once the harvest rush is over.
Ahead of a trip, 250-766-9922 will settle the practical questions, and orourkespeakcellars.com is worth a look before you set out. Getting here means a climb off the lakeshore road, with Kelowna south along Highway 97 and Vernon up the same highway to the north, so it works comfortably as a stop from either city. Okanagan Centre itself is a preserved early settlement of heritage buildings on a quiet road above Okanagan Lake, the southern edge of the district. Goldie Road carries several small producers along the same stretch of benchland that climbs above Okanagan Centre toward the ridge.
