Our Perspective
Sleeping Giant Fruit Winery is perfect for those who appreciate the vibrant flavours that only fruit wines can offer. This winery takes advantage of the Okanagan Valley's abundant orchards, using locally grown fruits to craft wines that are filled with natural sweetness and character. Unlike traditional grape wines, fruit wines at Sleeping Giant offer a different tasting experience, one that is refreshing, approachable, and full of the essence of the fruit itself.
Their lineup includes a diverse range of options, from classic apple and pear wines to more adventurous choices like blackberry and rhubarb. The "Blackberry Wine" is one of our favourites for its rich, deep flavour and just the right amount of tartness. Another one is their "Strawberry-Rhubarb Wine," which balances the sweetness of strawberries with the tangy kick of rhubarb, creating a perfect summer sipper. For those looking for something different, their "Pear Wine" offers a smooth, mellow profile with a subtle sweetness that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
Visiting Sleeping Giant Fruit Winery is a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The tasting room is inviting, with a friendly staff ready to guide guests through the diverse selection of wines. It's a place where you can take your time, explore the different flavours, and perhaps discover a new favourite. The emphasis here is on enjoying the simple pleasures of life—savouring a glass of wine that truly reflects the fruit from which it was made.
