The Vibe

Intrigue Wines is the winery that local residents call their favourite — and that says everything. Founded in 2008 by two Okanagan families who simply loved wine and wanted to share that passion with their community, the winery has grown into one of the Scenic Sip trail's most beloved and consistently praised stops without ever losing the warmth and accessibility that defined it from day one. The tasting room is cozy and full of personality — a curated gift shop, comfortable indoor seating, and a back courtyard picnic area that draws guests in for longer than they planned. Staff are consistently singled out by name across hundreds of reviews for their genuine enthusiasm, food and wine pairing knowledge, and ability to make absolute beginners feel as welcome as seasoned collectors. Unpretentious, charming, and completely without edge — Intrigue is the winery that wins over the non-wine drinker in every group.


The Experience

Intrigue offers one of the most flexible and inclusive visitor experiences on the Scenic Sip trail. Standard tastings are just $10 per person, making it one of the most accessible stops on the entire route. The Barrel Room Private Tasting accommodates up to 16 guests year-round and is one of the better-kept secrets on the trail for groups wanting something more intimate than a bar tasting. The seasonal dog-friendly picnic area is a perennial favourite — guests regularly bring their own snacks to enjoy alongside a bottle, with staff happily accommodating outside food in the courtyard. The Wine and Yoga experience — a 75-minute yoga class followed by sparkling wine in the vineyard — has developed a loyal following, while summer live music evenings on the outdoor patio turn the winery into a genuine community gathering place. The gift shop, stocked with thoughtful local artisan products, wine accessories, and charming souvenirs, is worth an extra 15 minutes of anyone's visit.


The Wine

Intrigue produces a broad and genuinely approachable portfolio of sustainably farmed cool-climate wines that prioritises accessibility and consistency without sacrificing character. The whites are the backbone — a crisp, food-friendly Riesling, aromatic Pinot Gris, and the legendary Social White, a house blend that has developed a devoted following across the Okanagan for its clean, refreshing character and universal appeal. The Sparkling Rosé — nicknamed I Do by devoted regulars — is the most celebratory bottle in the lineup and a perennial sell-out. On the red side, the Cabernet Franc and Merlot-based blends offer approachable structure and genuine Okanagan character, consistently surprising visitors who arrive expecting only whites. The wine slushies, available in season, are the most Instagrammed item on the menu — and rightfully so on a warm Okanagan afternoon.
