Introducing: The Vista at Play Estate Winery

Adding even more sparkle to the experience is Play’s brand-new on-site restaurant, The Vista. The menu has plenty of tempting options, but if you ask us, the flatbreads steal the show. Crispy, flavourful, and perfectly portioned, they’re the kind of dish you order “for the table” and then secretly hope everyone else fills up on salad.

Breathtaking Views

While the food is fantastic, the setting might be even better. The Vista offers breathtaking views of Skaha Lake—whether you’re seated indoors or out on the spacious patio. It’s the kind of place where you come for the food but linger for the view… and maybe another glass of wine.

A Culinary Experience

The culinary experience at The Vista is designed to delight. Each dish is crafted with fresh, local ingredients. The chefs take pride in their creations, ensuring that every bite is memorable. Pair your meal with a glass of Play Estate wine for the ultimate indulgence.

Happy Hour, Indeed

From 3 to 5 pm, Play Estate offers one of the best happy hour deals in town: two flatbreads and any bottle of Play wine for just $60. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day of adventuring through the South Okanagan—or to kick off an evening of more bubbly pursuits.

A Gathering Place

Happy hour at Play Estate is a gathering place for friends and family. The lively atmosphere makes it easy to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a casual evening, this is the perfect spot.
