Cute little winery off the main road in Oliver. Have visited many times for their charcuterie which comes with a lovely champagne jelly that I highly recommend. The wine is mediocre but there’s not much like this in the area which is why we come back.

This is a gem right along the 93. We’ve been to many wineries in Oliver and Osoyoos over the years, and we think this newer winery is a must if you’re travelling through the region. They have great French style wines, charcuterie, a wonderful litte gift section, and the staff (family) behind the counter was knowledgeable and so nice. Hidden in plain sight is right!Also, they’re open until 8!

We arrived having been on a very hot bike ride with 4 children and were greeted with smiling faces offering freezies and cold lemon water. The kids also enjoyed juice boxes and crackers with salami while we were eating charcuterie. We were so amazed as most wineries aren’t very child friendly.The charcuterie was very special, with incredible cheeses and cured meats (one duck the other with truffle!) and the Pinot Gris (a grape which has never excited me) rocked my world. They even had dairy free soft herbed cheese in a tub for those of us who couldn’t eat dairy. Some of the party had to stay while some of us left to drop off bikes. They provided games for the children to play with some of the adults while they waited to be picked up.Thank you so much for the wonderful service today!

Wonderful experience as always, I love the unique wine and people here (Barbara in Accounting was very informative on the local music scene too). Today Jess was great and we focused on the wonderful Chansons ( all day long) , Chardonnay (omg) , and Gamay Noir (wow!). . I’m only in 3 clubs, this is one of them. Great patio, vibe and the best place ever . Warning: if it’s over 35C make it a quick tasting under 30 min. For your sake. Make this one of your must-see wineries for serene BC wine vibe. Great people. And that’s not the wine talking..

Went for a tasting and it was lovely! Jessa is very charming and knowledgeable, and the outdoor area was comfortable and relaxing.

Awesome spot! Our introduction to BC set the scene for Canadian wine and hospitality. Great outlook, accompanied by an individual charcuterie board and awesome wine. What more could you need?

You can skip all the reviews (even this one) and just go here. The wine is incredible, they serve a variety of local beverages, the atmosphere is authentic and welcoming, but most importantly, the staff and owner(s) are outstanding. I managed to show up just as their trivia night was ramping up, and the place was packed. Immediately, Catherine (the winemaker and I think owner) recognized that I was a little overwhelmed and brought my wife and I to a more open space behind the bar to do a tasting. She made great conversation, asked where we were from, how our trip to wine country was going, and overall just made us feel like old friends. Even when I admitted to not knowing anything about wine, she told me the most important thing was if I liked the taste. I ended up buying a Gamay Noir and their Compass blend, both of which were fantastic, and Catherine even gave us a box to start our haul for our trip. Go to vinAmité and experience the authenticity of their name. Great wine and friendship abound.

Had a great experience in the lounge. Emily was a great hostess as we did a tasting and then had some fun cocktails. Then the winemaker showed up and we chatted with her for quite a while. A fun relaxed place with great wines and friendly staff! Will be back when we visit the area again!
