Forbidden Fruit Winery is located on Ven 'Amour Organic Farms, a 147 acre certified organic tree fruit farm and nature estate. The winery is exclusive in using 100% certified organic tree fruits grown in the Similkameen Valley. The winery has contracted the wine making services of Bacchus International, a group of 3 well known wine makers, headed by Canadian raised and B. C. trained, fruit wine specialist, Dominic Rivard. Our winery name, Forbidden Fruit, is a reflection on the story of creation and the garden of Eden plus the past status of both organic products and fruit wines, both being categorized at times as for the hobbyist. However, just like Eve, once tasted "a new empowerment is realized". We are very proud of our initial releases as they reflect the true nature of organic tree fruit and the potential of fruit wines. Forbidden Fruit Winery provides a solid agri-tourism backing for our existing farm ventures. All of our enterprises are proud to be conservation partners with The Land Conservancy of British Columbia and continually support their initiatives. We welcome all to return to the garden for another tempting taste and share in the enjoyment of the fruits o

The best fruit wine ever made in one of the most beautiful valleys. We loved all their wines but found the dry pear to be superb. The staff was great and there are tables outside to enjoy a picnic.

This winery is the best of all time! Not only did I convert from a heavy red drinker, but I've absolutely changed my mind about fruit wines! This is the winery to be at this summer. I highly recommend trying the Pearsuasion (dry pear) and the yummy iced apple! The staff, wine and sight seeing is awesome! Make sure to find time to see this beautiful little winery!

We loved the winery. We went on a recommendation and it was even better than we expected. Organic and amazing tasting Pear wines and the apple Adams Apple was so simple but pure tasting. It will be excellent ice cold in the hot summer. We did not try the other wonderful sounding wines. We purchased our wines and raced on the next winery but I regret not buying the apricot. Oh well next time. We will be back.
