About Wild Goose Vineyards
Wild Goose Vineyards operates from 2145 Sun Valley Way in Okanagan Falls, on one of the bench roads above Skaha Lake where orchard ground has steadily given way to vineyard rows over the past few decades. The winery can be reached at 250-497-8919, with a toll free line at 1-877-497-8919 for those calling from further afield, and wildgoosewinery.ca carries current details on what is open.
The benches around Okanagan Falls sit within a wine appellation that was formally recognized in recent years as its own sub-region of the larger Okanagan Valley designation, a reflection of the particular soil and slope conditions found along this stretch above the lake. Visiting any winery on these bench roads takes a bit more planning than a stop in town: routes narrow and climb quickly, gravel sections are common, and it helps to settle in advance whether a tasting fee applies, whether it comes off a bottle purchase, and how large a group can be accommodated without notice.
Anyone hoping to bring wine home, especially across a provincial border, should ask early about shipping, since the rules on what can be sent where change from one province to the next and are not always obvious from a tasting room counter. The drive up from the highway also rewards a bit of patience, since the same grade that slows the trip up the bench is what gives the vineyard its view back down over Skaha Lake, particularly in the last hour of daylight when the water and the surrounding hills both catch the light.
