TasteFull Excursions offers tours from Sun Peaks taking you on an adventure to experience the flavours of some of BC's award winning wineries.

KAMLOOPS WINE TRAIL

Experience BC's newest wine experience, the Kamloops Wine Trail. Commence your journey taking a ride along the Thompson River on the historic McClure Ferry, a quick trip that offers a unique waterside view of the riverbanks and the local wildlife's natural habitat. Your tour will then take you to three wineries that capture the minerality and crisp acidity that is becoming known to the area.

Privato Winery
The inspiration behind the name Privato comes from the Italian word meaning private which aptly describes the winery's idyllic setting. A hidden gem in the heart of BC's exciting Thompson Valley wine region, Privato is a family owned boutique winery dedicated to the production of premium Burgundian styled wines. In 2019, Woodward Cider Co. opened at Privato Winery. Cider tastings are available on weekends & holidays only.

Forging a new era of exploration for the Thompson Valley, Monte Creek Ranch offers the next frontier in winemaking. Just a 10 minute drive outside Kamloops City limits, Monte Creek Ranch aims to follow in the footsteps of the area's early explorers and uncover what the land can offer. Monte Creek Ranch also has an expansive full-service patio overlooking their vineyards where guests are welcome to choose items from their locally-sourced menu at their own expense.

Harper’s Trail Estate Winery
Named for the cattle drive “trail” of pioneer rancher Thaddeus Harper, Harper's Trail Estate Winery is the closest winery to Kamloops. Tucked into the city outskirts on the bank of the South Thompson River, the winery sits among rolling hills of sage and grass and is home to Bighorn sheep. The backdrop of limestone, Hoodoos, and a natural spring reflect the biodiversity of this rare place. Available for tastings in May 2023 only, on weekends. As the winery is currently for sale, future status is unknow. Substitutions my be required should they close.

BREW'D IN THE LOOPS
