I'm not a wine guy, but these were my stand outs:
- Mission Hill for the sheer size/scale of it, the grounds have very European feel, almost like you've left Canada & visited an Italian vinyard
- Quails' Gate felt like the most refined vineyard and was some of my favourite wines/glasses from the region
- Black Widow Winery in Naramata is fairly small, but we enjoyed a glass of their Red Back blend & a cheese plate while over looking the lake.

I think Dirty Laundry Vineyard has been mentioned in this thread... it was a bit campy for our taste. I get that a wine experience can be less refined, and doesn't need to be stuffy. But Dirty Laundry just felt a bit too much like a Hard Rock Cafe or a Vegas gift shop for us. I don't mean that as a knock, it just didn't appeal to me or my wife, the crowd there seemed to be enjoying it.
