O’Rourke Family Estate Winery is a premier winery located in Lake Country, British Columbia, within the renowned Okanagan Valley. Established over a decade ago, the estate is built into the landscape, offering a unique blend of luxury and tranquility. The winery is known for its commitment to producing exceptional wines, particularly focusing on small-lot Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which are crafted to express tension, purity, and site character. The estate’s wines are shaped by Lake Country’s cool climate, glacial and granite-influenced soils, and meticulous farming across distinct vineyard blocks. Fruit is hand-harvested and handled with restraint, with fermentations tailored to preserve varietal detail and natural freshness. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir mature with a refined oak profile that frames rather than masks the fruit.
Visitors to O’Rourke Family Estate can experience elevated winery dining at Row 188, the estate’s signature fine-dining restaurant. Row 188 offers thoughtfully paced multi-course menus that showcase estate produce and premium local ingredients, with precise wine pairings from the O’Rourke Family Estate cellar. The restaurant provides intimate seating with vineyard and lake vistas, offering attentive service that makes it one of the most sought-after winery restaurants in the Okanagan. Reservations are required to ensure an exceptional dining experience.
The estate also features a 12,000-square-foot underground cave network carved from 140-million-year-old granite. This unique feature adds to the winery’s allure, providing a rare behind-the-scenes experience for guests. O’Rourke Family Estate is more than just a winery – it’s a one-of-a-kind Okanagan experience where visitors come for the wine and stay for the magic.
