Nighthawk Vineyards

Enjoyed a nice tasting with the owners’ son. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The location is lovely and a nice alternative to some of the larger more known wineries in the area,

Nighthawk Vineyards Having visited over 100 wineries in the Okanagan region over the course of a year, I hope my opinion carries some weight by saying Nighthawk Vineyards has the best view in the entire Okanagan. There’s a valley with a lake sitting at the base. Vineyards crawling up to the winery. A solemn log house fringing freshly cut grassy hills—look, I got photos, just check those out. It’s a narrow margin, I will admit. I mean, when you consider Bench 1775 or Arrowleaf, second place is not that far behind. But at the end, I must admit that Nighthawk takes the top prize. We would have remained longer if we hadn’t enjoyed a picnic at See Ya Later Ranch the hour previously or if it hadn’t been hotter than the surface of Venus that day. Yes, I am exaggerating; it was like 32 degrees, but I am from Northern Canada, so there. Nighthawk is further out than See Ya Later, so a further diversion down a road you probably were unsure about being on. You certainly cannot drive past it. It’s a destination. My group and I had figured since we were out this way, we might as well hit up another one. And you should to—this place is incredible. Admittedly, there is bias—we were the only ones there that time, so we had the grounds to ourselves as well as the host’s undivided attention. The wine was good as well, obviously a requirement. While my friends bought wine, I scored a 2016 Late Harvest “Gew”. Yes, “gew”. A host referred to a Gewurztraminer as a “gew” and I’ve been doing that ever since. Yes, it annoys people, and I don’t care, like whenever I laugh my head off each time I refer to a Crate & Barrel as “Craate and Baarrel” (long story). If you ever need help pronouncing it, just remember “girls are meaner.” Nighthawk is a great place and if you are coming out here for See Ya Later Ranch, another must-see location, making it two, justifying the diversion even more.

This is an amazing place! It should be part of everyone's wine tour adventure. Amazing wines and scrumptious food you won't want to share.

A gem in the Okanagan Valley! Pictureque setting, friendly staff and owners! The food was outstanding - recommend the sandwiches - ham hock and brisket. Carson (chef) provided the finishing touch - dessert with Gurz custard, blackberries and choc ganche! We will be dining here on a regular basis! Up next, the wood fired pizza!

Nighthawk Vineyards is AMAZING and the scenery was beautiful. I hosted a bridal shower luncheon there for about 15 people and it was a dream! Daniel and Christy made the whole experience effortless. The setup was gorgeous and the food was amazing. We ordered all three appetizers, the family roots salad, the Mediterranean, phoenix and orchard pear and brie pizzas. We also had the merlot, gewürztraminer, and chardonnay. Everything was perfect and delicious. I cannot speak highly enough of the service, kindness and quality of this winery. Please visit if you have a chance, and I will definitely be returning!

We really enjoyed the Winemaker’s reserve 2020 Gewürtztraminer with our pizza and charcuterie board. The outdoor kitchen and dinning area was fantastic with an unbeatable view.

Beautiful scenery up here at Nighthawk! Delicious wines and that wood fire pizza #amazing We paired our delicious pizza with the 2017 Gewürztraminer. Nicely done :) Definitely recommend checking out this boutique winery when in the area.

This winery is GREAT to say the least!!! It was recommended last minute and, after a long day of biking, we decided to try it out on our way back into Penticton! YUM! The wine is absolutely delicious and the food is phenomenal!!! They serve pizzas that are cooked in an outdoor pizza oven at 900⁰ and literally takes 90 seconds to cook! Mouth watering! Not to mention, the staff are amazing and do their job extremely well! They are super friendly and very experienced! Thank you guys SO much, we cannot wait to come back in the next couple of months! See you soon! Highly recommend!!!
