It is not too late to start checking out wine-inspired vacation destinations in British Columbia. But if you have children and/or fur babies, you may want to pick locations and wineries that have something to offer for them as well. Here is a list of BC wineries and more that have family-friendly options for parents travelling with children or pets for 2025. Some of the information for BC wineries in 2025 are updates from winery options I received in 2024. I have included a link to the 2024 article I wrote, but I cannot guarantee all the information from 2024 as I have not heard back from all the wineries in that article.
If your winery also offers something for children and/or pets, please contact me and I will add your information to this list.
Kalala Organic Estate Winery tasting area outside
We have 3 different juices that the children can sample, or if they prefer, the parents can purchase for them a Juice Flight of all 3, which gives them 1 ½ ounces per juice. The juice flights include Apple, ABC, and Cherry juice. The children can have the juice flights, while the adults can have our wine flights!
We have a picnic area, where we have a couple of Outdoor games, that the family can play while they sip their flights or have a glass of wine or purchase a bottle to share. They are welcome to bring a picnic lunch, or a charcuterie board to enjoy and look at the view of the lake.
Dogs are welcome in the wine shop and in our outdoor space as long as they are on a leash. We have a doggy dish for the dogs to sip their beverage of water!
We are the third-oldest winery in West Kelowna. We are the sister property to Kalala Organic Estate Winery and we are also family and dog friendly. Karnail purchased Little Straw in 2021 and now owns eight Vineyards, two wineries and a total of 70 acres of grapes. Little Straw is an organic-certified vineyard.
Our restaurant is under construction right not and the opening date is TBA. Dogs are not welcome in the restaurant spaces, but are allowed in the wine shop as long as they are on a leash.
We offer charcuterie boards, but we need to be notified 24 hours ahead of booking time so we can get the ingredients and prepare them.
Summergate picnic area
We offer a family-friendly outdoor seating area with a selection of toys available for children to share in our picnic area. Beside toys, we now have a giant bucket full of lawn games for kids and adults to play. We have a variety of nonalcoholic beverage options such as pops, sparkling juice, and juice boxes.
Our patio is now fully licensed, with local beer and cider as well as our wine by the glass or bottle. We have an on-site kitchen serving kids-size poutine, hot dogs, and freezies, as well as big burgers, wings, and salad.
Our winery is family-friendly. Here is what we offer:
non-alcoholic refreshments for kids
tons of space at the village for kids
restaurant with ice cream for kids
restaurant that delivers food to our patio (small bites as well)
village market on Wednesdays
Music trivia on Fridays
We now have 2 tasting rooms – Winemaker’s CUT and The Opera Room. Both are at District Wine Village and the whole village is very family friendly. There are even games in the centre plaza for kids.
At the Opera Room we are producing and serving no and low alcohol wines and wine style alternatives. So customers, families can enjoy the Okanagan wine culture without drinking alcohol.
We are also dog-friendly and offer treats and water bowl for our furry friends.
Volcanic Hills – pet friendly
Proudly family-owned and operated, and we love welcoming families to enjoy a memorable visit with us. Our cozy indoor lounge is a perfect spot to unwind—kids are welcome to kick back while parents relax with a tasting flight. Prefer the outdoors? Our spacious picnic area is ideal for little ones with energy to burn and furry friends alike.
We also offer delicious, house-pressed apple juice made from our own old-growth orchard—perfect for kids, designated drivers, and anyone looking for a refreshing non-alcoholic option while supplies last. Starting in June, our picnic fridge is stocked with a curated selection of meats and cheeses, ready for those who want to graze and savour the vineyard views.
We are family-friendly. We provide juice for families and can accommodate children who accompany their families to tastings! We have live music on a few dates in the summer, which would be fun for the whole family! We also are doing a Yoga series on Sundays starting June 15 which is open to those underage as well.
Singletree Winery in Abbotsford welcomes families with a relaxed, rural atmosphere and a designated picnic area just for them. Kids can enjoy outdoor games like ladder ball and console play while parents unwind with a tasting. The winery always offers non-alcoholic beverages, including refreshing slushies on warm days, making it a comfortable stop for all ages.
Summerland’s Bottleneck Drive is more than just a wine and cider trail, it’s a family-friendly adventure packed with fun for all ages. They offer:
Summerland Heritage Cider (credit Jordan Mauro, @hellojordo)Lightning Rock Winery – Complimentary juice boxes/snacks, mini putt golf green, colouring, lawn games, tastings on lawn
Summerland Heritage Cider – Large back lawn with yard games, apple juice slushies, house-made apple soda, kid-friendly food including cheese paninis, and a popular snack flight featuring popcorn, pretzels, juice, and apple slices on a flight board
