Little Straw Vineyards is a family-owned winery established in 1996. Its winemaker, Peter Slamka, is known for his exceptional Pinot Noirs and for producing the only Auxerrois Icewine in Canada. The majority of grapes Little Straw uses come from its own vineyards, situated on the lower slopes of Mount Boucherie near Kelowna. The winery produces a complete range of wines, with something to suit most every taste. Little Straw is situated across the lake from Kelowna in the Lakeview Heights district. When you see the winery's incredible view of the lake and surrounding vineyards, you'll thank yourself that you made the trip. And of course, regular tastings are free of charge. You may pre-arrange a guided tour by calling the winery at least one day in advance of your visit.

We visited this small winery for the first time during the 2007 fall wine festival. The beautiful new building, which opened in the fall of 2006, has a large, windowed tasting room with a fantastic view. The mezzanine is presently used as an art gallery. They are hoping to open the balcony and banquet room next year, pending their winery lounge license approval. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, the tastings are free. Most of their grapes are grown on site at their Mt. Boucherie vineyards, near Kelowna. Our favourite wines were the 2005 Pinot Noir, $22, which we will keep for a few years to age. Their flagship wine is a very nice off-dry Old Vines Auxerrois ($15), made from vines planted in the late 1970’s. The Tapestry, at $14,is a pleasant medium-dry blend of five white varietals. My husband liked the Riesling at $17. It is a sweet wine, rated a 3, with a lovely aroma and very fruity taste. It is limited in supply as only 100 cases were made for 2006 release. Their new release 2002 Auxerrois Ice Wine is another good buy at $35. It is also unique as it is the only Auxerrois Ice Wine made in Canada. They appear to be pleasing consumers as several of their wines were sold out a the winery. We will definitely return to this one!!
