O’Rourke Family Estate Winery
West Kelowna, Okanagan · winery
Veil Tier: Veil Exceptional (✦✦✦)
An architectural statement winery with underground caves and Okanagan’s most dramatic tasting experience.
O’Rourke Family Estate is one of the Okanagan’s most ambitious winery projects: a family-owned estate in West Kelowna featuring a striking contemporary building, an extensive underground cave system for barrel aging, and a wine programme focused on premium Bordeaux and Burgundian varieties. The property opened to the public in 2022 and has quickly established itself as one of the valley’s most compelling destinations.
Veil Verdict
O’Rourke Family Estate earns its five-diamond rating through architectural ambition, the cave tasting experience, and a wine programme that is clearly on an upward trajectory. It is the Okanagan’s most compelling new estate and one that will only improve as the vines mature and the winemaking team finds its full voice.
