About La Stella Winery
Why it stands out
La Stella Winery is an Osoyoos estate created around an Italian sense of la dolce vita: food, wine, music, sun, and a slower South Okanagan pace. The Tuscan-style villa sits near Osoyoos Lake, with vineyards and lake views shaping the atmosphere of the property.
What to expect on a visit
The winery was assembled from multiple parcels of vineyard, orchard, rolling hills, and lakefront land beginning in 2004, with a first vintage in 2006 and visitor doors opening in 2008. Wines are named after Italian musical notes, giving the portfolio a distinct identity that suits the villa-inspired setting.
Tour planning notes
La Stella is a strong Osoyoos route stop for guests who want a premium, design-forward winery with Italian styling and South Okanagan warmth. Tastings are by online appointment, so it is best planned deliberately rather than treated as a casual drop-in stop.
