The Best Winery Accommodation in Oliver
Nestled in the heart of British Columbia's picturesque Okanagan Valley lies a gem of the Canadian wine industry: Hester Creek Winery.
With a history dating back over half a century, this renowned estate boasts not only a legacy of winemaking excellence but also is home to one of the most beautiful accommodation options in BC wine country, the Hester Creek Villa.
Nestled amidst the rolling vineyards of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, the Hester Creek Winery Villa stands as a testament to luxury, charm, and unparalleled hospitality. Offering guests a retreat unlike any other, this Tuscan-inspired villa embodies the essence of wine country living, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and serenity of their surroundings. I recently had an overnight stay at the villa and it truly was the most magical experience.
From the moment we arrived at the Hester Creek Winery Villa, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and refinement. Surrounded by acres of lush vineyards and breathtaking mountain vistas, the villa provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Boasting luxurious furnishings, warm earth tones, and rustic accents, each room is thoughtfully designed to create a sense of comfort and relaxation. Sink into plush sofas by the fireplace, unwind in a spacious bedroom adorned with crisp linens and plush pillows, or savor a glass of wine- from your complimentary bottle- on your private balcony as you watch the sun set over the vineyards. In the morning, enjoy a complimentary gourmet breakfast before you venture off to your complimentary private tour and tasting at the winery available for all guests to enjoy.
Hester Creek Winery takes pride in its diverse portfolio of wines, which showcase the best of what the region has to offer. From crisp, aromatic whites to bold, robust reds, each bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Signature varietals include the rich and velvety Cabernet Franc, the elegant and expressive Chardonnay or Viognier, and the luscious and fruit-forward Old Vine Merlot. Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or a casual wine enthusiast, there's something to suit every palate at Hester Creek.
