Forbidden Fruit Winery

Why it stands out

Forbidden Fruit Winery is a family-owned organic boutique winery on Ven'Amour Organic Farms in Cawston. The farm began in 1977 on raw bench land along the Similkameen River and has been farmed organically since day one, becoming one of the original organic farms when certification began in 1984.

What to expect on a visit

The winery produces small lots of tree fruit wines and grape wines from organic and sustainably farmed fruit. Its story blends orchard farming, vineyard work, family stewardship, and a tasting boutique that reflects the creative personality of the family behind it.

Tour planning notes

Forbidden Fruit is a distinctive Similkameen stop for guests interested in organic farming, fruit wines, and family-scale production. It is a useful addition when a route needs something different from conventional grape-only tasting rooms.
