After driving by for many years, finally stopped for lunch. What a great change form fast food down the road. Very relaxing. Great views. Food was good and fresh. 2 tastes of fruit wine. A overall great stop.
Nice wine - lots to choose from. Knowledgeable folks. Good atmosphere.
We stopped at Bonaparte Bend Winery for Friday lunch. The corner spot on the patio left us with a beautiful view of the surroundings and the property. The food tasted great and was obviously made in house! The chicken sandwich had pieces of real chicken that obviously came from a chicken that was roasted as opposed to anything processed. The kaiser bun was also soft and super tasty and we were told they were baked in the shop. We also tasted 8 of the wines. They were very good fruit wines that were generally not too sweet at all. There was a range in terms of sweetness and dryness. They all had a distinctly fruity flavour and I came away with a rhubarb wine!
We decided to stop here for lunch. The food selection is limited but very tasty. Not much for kids but really who takes their kids to a winery for lunch (besides us and our kids eat anything so it worked out fine and they even split the dishes up for them so we didn't have to order 3 full meals). Wines were ok - they definately have the experience in the fruit wines but they weren't anything spectaculor. Nice friendly service and overall a nice stop for lunch if you want something other then fast food or cafe fare.
This is the only winery in this area, and a fruit winery too boot! The restaurant serves really good food and they sample the wine while you eat.Family run and very friendly.
We didn't have lunch there, but did sample the wines. Very different tastes compared to other wineries, nice light and refreshing. Especially loved the "Boysenberry" served nice and cold. Great taste. Bought some wine jelly also, which was good.
My wife and I found them last summer and had a very good meal with our wine purchase, we were headed for Abbottsford in July this summer and stopped and purchased several of the fruit wines, were to late in the day for a meal, so when we were on our way back thru a week later we timed our vist for lunch. It was an excellent lite meal, the Ruhbarb wine is extremly good. Our friends thought it was the best Ruhbarb wine they had ever had. Funny though considering Rubarb is really a vegetable.
we thought we would go for lunch and we went in and it looked real nice. Then the proprieter goes we aren't open for lunch because we are expecting a bus tour. So why didn't they have sign outside or something. My husband was diabetic and had to eat. So we went up the road. Never stepped a foot in there again, and tell of our experience.
I have helped host 2 events here and have enjoyed the delectable fruit wines and a savoury lunch on the deck. Service is impeccable and the owners are very charming. A lovely stop on Hwy 97.
Its a nice place off the highway overlooking the valley. The lunches are very tasty (not cheap though) and commonly you get a taster round of one the wines (I don't like sweet wines, so can't really comment on them).
