What To Expect
Gray Monk Estate Winery
Gray Monk Winery has a charming origin story, starting with Austrian-German couple George and Trudy Heiss, who swapped hairdressing for winemaking when they moved to the Okanagan Valley in the early 1970s. They turned their orchard into a vineyard, planted Pinot Gris, Pinot Auxerrois, and Gewurztraminer from Alsace in 1976, and became the first to grow Pinot Gris in Canada. Named with a nod to George’s Austrian roots, Gray Monk opened in 1982 with a modest 125-case vintage made in a garage. Today, it’s a celebrated name with over 100,000 cases produced annually and a reputation for outstanding fruit-forward whites! Enjoy 4-5 complimentary wine tastings, with time to shop for your favorite wine!
Ex Nihilo Vineyards
Ex Nihilo’s journey truly began "out of nothing," inspired by Fredrick Hart’s sculpture depicting the creation of mankind. With each vintage, we pour our passion into nurturing the land, embracing the cold winter and basking in the warmth of the Okanagan sun, crafting wines that capture this magical process. Founded by two visionary families and now led by Mike and Janet Azhadi since 2018, Ex Nihilo continues to create extraordinary wines that reflect both the unique terroir and the dedication of our team. The Azhadi family, spanning four generations in the Okanagan Valley, cherishes bringing people together to share in the joy of Ex Nihilo, while giving back to the community in Lake Country. "Out of nothing" comes something beautiful—our wine, and the people behind it. Enjoy 4-5 complimentary wine tastings with time to shop for your favorite wine!

5.00Office team accommodated me as a solo on the dinner tour, just needed to email them to ask if I could join a tour. Tour guide Mike was lovely and even did an awesome video for me. Nick another driver/guide from another group also was lovely and chatted to me while I had my dinner meal as the rest of the group didn’t stay for dinner. Would recommend to anyone.

5.00Amazing! They chose beautiful wineries, a top notch location for dinner (Block One), and Mike our driver was awesome…he went above and beyond taking photos of our group, giving us a video compilation of the day, and coming back to get us when the food we continued to order kept us later at the restaurant. This was the best experience ever!

5.00Nick was the most amazing tour guide for a wine tour that I've ever had (and I've been on many)! He was courteous, accomodating, motivated to help us with anything, and was a great photographer during our time with him! He had knowledgable about history of wine and some of the wineries, as well as the best places to take pics at each of them! Before the tour, communication and booking was super easy. A bit costly without the cost of lunch included, but that's how life is these days. Would highly recommend!
Amazing time!

5.00This was by far the best wine tour we have done! The day was incredibly well organized with more than enough time at each stop for the tasting as well as shop. Our tour guide James really made the day, with plenty of facts/tips regarding wine, history of the area and plenty of jokes. Would 100% recommend this company for anyone looking for day well spent!

5.00My friend and I went on the full day wine tour in Oliver BC area. We visited 5 wineries and ended at the Tinhorn Creek winery for dinner. The tour itself was well organized and the timing at each vineyard was great. We met some great people who were on our tour, which made it fun. Bernie was our driver and he was amazing! Sip Happens sent some great tips via email prior to the tour, which ensured we knew what to expect financially and time wise. My favorite stop was Burrowing Owl.
Exceptional tour, amazing guide!
