This place is amazing! The owners are wonderful and friendly, and the wine is fabulous. I go with my family every year, and sit outside on the patio, sip wine and look at the gorgeous scenery. The only downside is that sometimes there are limited vegegarian options, so keep that in mind if you aren't a meat eater. More

The service is good, views are beautiful and food is great. The complementary wine tasting is always enjoyable. You will want to take a friend and spend the afternoon there! More

My husband and I have the Bison Spirit B&B in Creston and we either accompany our guests, or direct our guests to this winery each summer season. Our guests always tell us how much they enjoy the winery with its' picturesque setting, the superb food, and the fun wine tasting. We refer to this business with confidence, knowing our guests...

Went for wine tasting and lunch at the bistro. Was a nice fall day and sat outside. Server was very nice, food was wonderful, we had the flat bread bianca and the Artisan platter for 2 for appetizers, personally I found it was the best of the meal. For a main we had coq au vin and ratatouille. We had... More

Tried the wine at a local eatery. Made the trip to the winery to purchase some, only to be told that that brand was only sold in local diners. No options given, unfortunately drove away empty handed. More

We're delighted that your enjoyment of our Skimmerhorn Kootenay Crush wine inspired you to come to our winery looking for more. Our winery was designed for local purchases, but when restaurants throughout and beyond our community let us know their diners wanted a taste of what we have to offer, we created Kootenay Crush just for them. Our nine other,... More

We pulled up to the Skimmerhorn winery on a hot afternoon in July and I was so envious of the guests eating at the breezy, shaded patio (plus the food smelled really good!) - but we didn't have time to eat, we were just there to taste the wines! Our favorite by far was the "Autumn Tryst", although the Rose... More

I encourage all viitors to the CrestonValley to take a tour, have a wine tasting and enjoy the exceptional food and service of the Skimmerhorn Winery. I had the privledge of dinning last summer. In my opinion the head chef A.K. makes the best crab cakes in B.C. The Skimmerhorn winery staff make it a relaxing place to eat and... More

I thought I would drop in on my tour of the area and I was met with less than a friendly staff and service. Don't bother going. The tasting was rushed and the service curt and rushed. The wines were mediocre at best. More

A friend from Creston took me to the Bistro for lunch and wine tasting in June/10 and I was amazed by the excellent cuisine, friendly folk and marvellous wines. I will return with more friends Bob the greeter dog was a definite plus! More
