Dining experience was wonderful, staff were very accommodating to address some dietary issues that went above and beyond what was expected. Despite a set menu and willingness to navigate as best we could, kitchen made adjustments to accommodate my needs with a phone call a few days ahead, amazing!

The Naramata Inn always exceeds expectations every time we visit, whether it be for dinner or brunch! The food, the service, and the ambience are unparalelled—we cannot wait to celebrate our wedding there this spring!

This is a beautiful tiny inn with service and attention to detail that is anything BUT tiny. We stayed and dined there on New Year's Eve, enjoying a thoughtfully conceived and beautifully plated prix fixe four-course dinner. The "omnivore" selections were outstanding (creamy, buttery salmon and then a perfectly executed duck main) but this is a restaurant that truly excels when presenting vegetarian options, and this night was no exception. I would eat that smoked squash every day for a week without complaint, and the leek and ricotta "capellini" was surprising, whimsical and, with the addition of sweet purple beets and a yellow beet puree, a feast for the eye as well as the palate. The adjacent table of (over-indulging?) shrieking fellow diners took the elegance down a notch, but it was, after all, New Year's Eve, and people celebrate in their own unique ways. I should also mention the smart wine pairings, with selections perfectly suited to the food on offer...overall, a memorable meal and a venue to be revisited!

This was a delicious New Year's Eve menu! The food was creative and interesting; some was a little over salted for my palate. The ambience was outstanding with excellent service.

My wife and I have been to the Naramata Inn about eight or ten times in recent years. It is always a joy. The new chef, Jacob, is outstanding. And Waitress Wendy could not have looked after us better. We will be back before long.

The Naramata Inn is picturesque! Perfect in all seasons. We were there for a special event meeting Bruno Feldeisen (Canadian Baking Show). It was intimate, service impeccable, lovely afternoon. We arrived early and the front desk attendant was kind enough to open the downstairs bar for us to have a quiet drink beforehand. One of the coolest places to go in the Okanagan.

A cooking class like this must have a proper demonstration table that includes a mirror to see the work of the baker. It would be much more engaging if we could see what was happening.

We attended Brunch with Santa. The food was amazing for adults and kids. Even the chef came out to check on us. Service was top notch! The Santa experience was magical for the kids and the ambiance spectacular.

This is an beautifully restored heritage inn - from the buffed wood floors to the period light fixtures to the lovely grounds with mature trees and expansive lawns. We loved the Innkeepers' suite - so spacious and comfy. We had a light dinner in the wine bar twice - and the squash soup was so divine we had it both evenings. The breakfast was terrific - especially the homemade plum and quince jams. The staff are so competent, capable and service-oriented - and there is a concierge 24-hours. Just out the door to the left is a lovely walk 30 minutes to the end of Mill Road along the lake and past wineries - so picturesque. This is a solid 5/5 - and we've stayed in many heritage inns over the years. We'll be back.Rooms: Our room had a lovely deck with comfy chairs and a view, too.

This is a revitalized hotel in a historic character wooden building in which original finishes have been recovered and tastefully updated to modern building codes. Probably not the place to stay in deep winter as the windows are for the most part single glazed, but the ambient inside temperatures during cool Fall weather were perfect. The hospitality of the very personable staff was much appreciated and made this stay special. Excellent fine food. We look forward to our next visit.Rooms: Old wood probably says it all. Beautifully refinished, but doorframes showing their age. Some of the old fixtures are throwbacks to the middle of the last century, a reminder consistent with the age of the building, and functional. While the baths would be considered a feature, showers have been installed in the bathrooms that are well finished in tile. The beds are modern! The housekeeping staff are fastidious in preparing the rooms.Nearby activities: The Inn is situated at the north end of a series of prime vineyards many of which offer tastings and food. There is something for everybody's palate. Off road walking and biking tails are not far away.Noteworthy details: The remote location assures residents of an absence of traffic in the area. Local shops include a store with an impressive wine collection that is curated by a Master of Wine and a Sommelier whose reputation for finding interesting wines from around the world, and not just from the local area, is well known. The bakery across the street is well worth a visit - literally "out-of-the oven- into -the-bag", at least for us! It is obvious why both of these stores are locally popular.

The service was friendly and welcoming yet professional. Staff went out of their way to see we were comfortable and had all we needed. The food and service in both restaurants were exceptional.While the rooms are small, they have been creatively renovated to suit the building and are very comfortable. We reserved for 2 nights but decided to extend an extra day and were pleased we didI highly recommend the Naramata Inn.

The Naramata Inn dining room never disappoints. It is an elegant setting, the food is unique and sumptuous, and the service was exceptional. We had the 3 course salmon and the 5 course lamb dinners, which were fantastic. All the courses had subtle and delicious flavours. Chef Jacob came out and visited with us for a bit, which was very special. Kudus to Chef Jacob and his staff for our delightful experience.

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving meal and simply loved it. It was a three course meal, the selection of appetizers were really tasty and presented for sharing which was nice for the season. The main was truly a scrumptious take on a traditional Thanksgiving dinner - interesting enough to honour the Inn's outstanding culinary reputation while being traditional enough to reflect my holiday expectations. The expansive local wine list was exciting, including the cellared old Pinot Noir that was offered on Coravin. Like I said, we simply loved it and can't wait to go back to try the full menu!

We had an exceptional meal at Naramata Inn on Monday. Fresh, local produce in creative combinations that were delicious perfectly presented and prepared. We loved it so much we returned the next night for their Harvest Table, which was also delicious and delightful experience. If I lived in Naramata, this would be my go to favourite spot!
