Ex Nihilo Vineyards & Tasting Room

Driving up Highway 97 toward Lake Country brings you to a cluster of agricultural properties overlooking Okanagan Lake. Among these hills sits Ex Nihilo Vineyards & Tasting Room, an active estate focusing on regional grape varietals. The property operates as both a manufacturing facility and a public tasting space for wine enthusiasts touring the northern end of the valley.

Beyond pouring glasses of their latest releases, the site functions as a restaurant. The kitchen focuses on pizza, providing a casual dining option to pair with the agricultural output of the surrounding vines. Guests sit near the vineyards, taking in the steep slopes that define this part of the region.

The tasting room opens daily at 11:00 AM, making it a reliable stop for afternoon tours. It rests a short drive from the Kelowna boundary, operating until late afternoon for those seeking a meal or a few favourite bottles to take home.
