About Beaumont Family Estate Winery
The vineyard benches above Okanagan Lake are the reason a great many people cross the bridge in the first place. Beaumont Family Estate Winery works from 2775 Boucherie Road in Lakeview Heights, on the ground that wraps around Mount Boucherie, an old volcanic cone whose slopes are covered in vines. From that elevation the water sits below and Kelowna spreads out along the far shore.
Estate wineries are seasonal businesses in a way that catches visitors out. Tasting room activity swells from late spring through the harvest and thins considerably once the vines are cut back for winter, and properties along the benches adjust their pattern accordingly. Tasting fees, whether groups need to arrange a visit ahead, whether a seated flight or a walk up counter is on offer, and what can be shipped out of province are all worth confirming before you build an afternoon around a stop. A call to 250 769 1222 answers those quickly, and beaumontwinery.com is the place to check current releases.
Boucherie Road itself rewards an unhurried approach. It runs the length of the bench between Casa Loma and Westbank with other tasting rooms strung along the way, so one stop tends to turn into three, which makes a designated driver or a booked tour the sensible plan rather than an optional extra. Parking at bench wineries is usually gravel and fills on summer weekends. Come in a hat and comfortable shoes if you intend to walk any of the rows, because the afternoon sun on these west facing slopes is relentless from July into September and there is very little shade among the vines.
