About NK'Mip Cellars
Why it stands out
NK'Mip Cellars is widely recognized as the first Indigenous-owned winery in North America. Located on Osoyoos Indian Band land at the southern end of the Osoyoos reservation, the winery connects wine, culture, land stewardship, and the Band's broader legacy of hard work, innovation, and economic independence.
What to expect on a visit
The winery overlooks Osoyoos and includes tastings, a striking cellar building, lake and desert views, and Sweetgrass restaurant. Guests can explore wines from the Winemaker's Series and premium Qwam Qwmt tier while learning about the cultural and historical context behind the property.
Tour planning notes
NK'Mip is a major Osoyoos route stop for guests who want a winery visit with cultural depth, food, views, and a landmark South Okanagan setting. It is one of the strongest choices when a tour needs more than a tasting and should include a meaningful sense of place.
