Our Perspective
Dirty Laundry Vineyard stands out in Summerland by offering more than just wine; it provides a story-driven experience that draws from local history, particularly its prohibition-era roots. The vineyard’s playful approach is reflected in the names of its wines, such as "Hush" and "Madame's Vines," which add a layer of intrigue and fun to the tasting experience. Visitors can enjoy these wines on a scenic patio under a pergola, often accompanied by live music, enhancing the atmosphere. The self-serve patio, cooled by misters, is perfect for summer dining, featuring a menu with wine, beer, cider, pizzas, and smoked meats.
The wine shop offers eclectic items and made-to-order charcuterie boxes. Signature wines include the 2020 Bordello, 2021 Kay's Syrah, and 2022 Hush Rosé. The vineyard’s focus on creating an engaging and enjoyable experience makes it a popular destination for both wine enthusiasts and those looking to enjoy a relaxed outing. Dirty Laundry’s wine club also offers exclusive access to limited releases and special events, making it a compelling choice for those looking to deepen their connection with the vineyard. The Parlour House provides luxurious vineyard accommodations, and events like Light Up the Vines and Wine & Brine Lobster Nights enhance the experience.
