We make regular (spring and fall) visits to the Okanagan wine country. The people are outgoing and friendly, plus the vineyards are well worth exploring. It's always interesting to discover a new vineyard and get to know the owners. Once introduced to 8th Generation we immediately fell in love with their wines - and greatly enjoyed the personalities of owners... More

8th Generation may seem unassuming, located right along the highway, but they do exceptionally well with their Riesling (they are after all 8th generation Gerrman wine makers) The staff is very friendly and always excited to tell you about their wines. By far their most surprising wine is their Rose and their sparkling Rose. I am not a Rose drinker,... More

I had hesitated to go there after visiting when the previous owners were running it. Now, I would say that it is truly first class with some wonderful vintages. Some, unfortunately, were sold out but I managed... More

As a local wine tour guide for DKT, it is always an absolute pleasure to stop in with guests for a tasting. They are greeted with friendly smiles and top service! My family's personal favourites are their Pinot Noir and Riesling.

I recently stopped in to see the fine folks at 8th Generation as they had just released their latest vintage of their Pinot Meunier Rosé (2011). This was a real stand-out wine, in my opinion last year, so I was eager to try this year's vintage. I also picked up a couple bottles of their sparkling rose, which I also... More

My way or the highway, I found the owners to be very close minded and unable to reason with.
