Serendipity Winery

Located towards the end of the Naramata Bench, Serendipity Winery is a bit of a hidden gem. From the road, the winery looks unassuming. But true to this winery’s name, it’ll feel like a happy accident as you turn the corner to find one of the most beautiful properties on the Naramata Bench.

Admire the magnificent arched doors on the way to wine shop and patio. Owned and run by a mother and daughter, you’re likely to meet at least one of them during your tasting. As for the wine, the Viognier is a favourite of wine critics and the Sauvignon Blanc is likely to be a winner for anyone who likes the classic New Zealand style.

Tastings and Wine Shop

Serendipity Winery has an airy and spacious wine shop, which sits immediately adjacent to a large covered (and heated!) patio.

Restaurant

Serendipity has an on-site restaurant called the Bistro. At the current time, all tastings are being held on the main patio, which is shared with the bistro. This makes it very easy to enjoy a few dishes while tasting Serendipity’s wine too.

The menu is upscale yet rustic, showcasing international flavours made with local ingredients. Each dish has been designed to pair with one of Serendipity’s wines.

Dog Friendliness

Serendipity is a dog friendly winery. The large patio has a dog bowl and some shaded areas to help keep your furry friend cool. Something to keep in mind is that the winery does have an on-site dog. Please note also that the patio is paved and there is no grassy area nearby.
