The South Okanagan holds some of the warmest, driest growing conditions in the country. Rocky cliff faces, south-facing slopes, and proximity to Skaha Lake create an environment built for serious red wine.

This season, Dennis and Elizabeth O’Rourke flew down to the new estate vineyard with their friend George and grandson Jack to plant the first vines. The property covers 142 acres, with 36 planted in this first phase.

The goal is straightforward: bigger, bolder reds, grown from a site that earns them.

Some hires change the trajectory of a place. This one tells you exactly where we are headed.

We are proud to introduce Quinton Bennett as Culinary Director of O’Rourke Family Estate and Peak Cellars.

A four-time Michelin Star holder, Quinton joins us directly from Enigma Restaurant in Toronto, bringing more than two decades of experience across some of the most celebrated dining rooms in the world, including Hawksworth in Vancouver, Michelin-starred Northcote Manor in England, and Noma in Copenhagen.

He joins Executive Chef Julien Lamrani to build something we believe will become one of North America’s great culinary destinations. A place where the food is as extraordinary as the wines and the setting.

This season at Row 188, we are delighted to welcome Sunday evenings into our weekly service, expanding our five-star dining experience to three nights each weekend.

With Friday, Saturday, and our newly added Sunday service, guests are invited to slow down and settle into the rhythm of the weekend. Sunday evenings bring a particularly intimate energy and opportunity to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy an elevated dining experience in its most immersive setting.

Each evening features a thoughtfully curated three-course or five-course tasting menu, designed to showcase seasonal ingredients and refined technique. For those wishing to further enhance the experience, optional wine pairings are available, carefully selected from our cellar to complement each course and highlight the nuances of every dish.

Whether you choose a shorter curated experience or the full tasting journey, every detail is considered from the first pour to the final bite.

Reservations are required, and seating is limited each evening to ensure an intimate and attentive service.

We look forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable weekend at Row 188.

Progress update from above.

The paving of Commonage Road from Carrs Landing Road to our estate entrance is coming along beautifully, and we are pouring concrete on the final stretch of our main driveway this week.

This means our main entrance at 15595 Commonage Road is temporarily closed. Guests joining us at Row 188 this weekend can access the estate through our alternate entrance at 15150 Barkley Road.

We look forward to welcoming you on a fully paved arrival in the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience as we put the finishing touches on the journey to O’Rourke Family Estate.
