An Extraordinary Destination
in the Heart of the Okanagan

If there were ever a destination in the Okanagan Valley that perfectly embodies the art of living well, it is O’Rourke Family Estate. This is not simply a winery; it is a sprawling, multi-sensory experience that elevates the idea of what a vineyard resort can be. From the moment you turn onto the long, pine-lined driveway, the estate seems determined to exceed every expectation you might have about wine country.

Perched above Okanagan Lake and carved into the side of a mountain, the estate stretches across 300 acres of vineyards, orchards, and raw natural beauty. Designed by renowned San Francisco architect Howard Backen, the buildings are an architectural love letter to the land itself—vast glass walls, stonework, and warm wood blending seamlessly into the surroundings. It is the kind of place you discover once and remember forever.

While some destinations excel at just one thing, O’Rourke Family Estate is a true playground for the senses. Whether you come for the world-class wine, the unforgettable dining, or the chance to wake up amid the vines, there is an experience waiting for every guest. And with a grand opening celebration planned for July 2026, the estate is gradually unveiling facets of its vision, one remarkable detail at a time.

Already, the property has begun hosting special events that signal the calibre of experiences to come. This year, the newly opened Row 188 restaurant debuted with a series of intimate, ticketed culinary evenings, pairing the estate’s elegant wines with seasonal menus crafted by the estate’s talented culinary team. Every dinner feels like an exclusive invitation to be part of something bigger—an unfolding story that celebrates wine, culture, and community.

Entertainment is another hallmark of the estate’s character. The outdoor amphitheatre recently hosted two sold-out performances by Canadian superstars Jim Cuddy and Barney Bentall, drawing fans from across the region for unforgettable nights of music under the Okanagan stars. As General Manager Ian Scromeda shared, “O’Rourke Family Estate is so much more than a winery. It’s an art and music venue, it’s a cultural centre, it’s a global destination.”

At the core of the estate are 110 acres of meticulously cultivated vines, producing a portfolio of exceptional wines under the direction of head winemaker Stephanie Stanley. From the crush pad viewing deck, you can watch the winemaking process unfold—grapes sorted and pressed, juice poured into French oak barrels lining 12,000 square feet of underground caves. Every bottle tells a story of place and patience, with varietals that include Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a few limited release exceptions.

Wine tasting here is never just a casual affair. The estate’s tasting rooms offer panoramic views over Okanagan Lake, while private dining spaces and rock-carved bars provide an intimate backdrop for chef-led dinners and special celebrations. And if you wish to make a weekend of it, you can reserve either the Georgie Award-winning five-bedroom Log Home, the charming Cottage in the Vines, or
The Gate House Suites.

For special occasions, O’Rourke Family Estate feels like a dream realized. Weddings are held under a pergola built from 120-year-old timber, with the option of arriving by helicopter on the private helipad. Corporate gatherings and milestone celebrations unfold across the amphitheatre, multiple decks, and private dining spaces, including the caves themselves. Few venues can offer an evening as cinematic as a candlelit dinner deep underground, surrounded by aging barrels and the cool hush of stone.

What makes this place even more remarkable is how approachable it feels. Despite the scale—more than 180,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space—there is a warmth and authenticity in every detail. This is a destination shaped by passion rather than pretense, where guests are invited to slow down, savour, and connect.

Whether you are a Predator Ridge homeowner or simply passing through the Okanagan, set aside a day—or better yet, a weekend—to discover this remarkable place. Come for the wines, stay for the concerts, the architecture, and the sense of discovery at every turn. O’Rourke Family Estate is an experience designed to be savoured—an inspiring testament to what is possible when vision meets vineyard.
