Naramata Inn

We spent my husband’s birthday night here and had such a lovely time! We dined at the Eliza restaurant which was excellent. The rooms are so pretty witg lots of nice touches. In the morning we had an outstanding breakfast which was included in the stay. We live locally and just love visiting and dining here! Thank you so much to the staff for making it a great event.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Naramata Inn, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between charming and elegant, creating a welcoming yet sophisticated atmosphere. Our entire service team was outstanding, but I want to highlight the sommelier, who provided exceptional wine pairings that truly elevated each course. Her knowledge and passion for the wines added a special touch to our meal. The Naramata Inn exceeded my expectations and is truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in North America. I can't wait to return for more amazing food and wine. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience!

Great little time capsule to take you back to the early 1900s. Elegant, charming and updated where it counts most. Staff was amazing and bent over backward to ensure we enjoyed our time in Naramata and the region, sharing their wealth of recommendations. They even put us in touch with the right people in their community to allow us to chase down a rather unique and rare wine from the vintner that we'd experienced the night before at their restaurant. Excellent food and dining experience and the bar downstairs is outstanding! First class from start to finish!

Beautiful older building in a great, quiet, part of the area. With its age there are a few things “missing”, I’d love to have a bit more space in the rooms for a chair and I wish the walls were a bit more sound proof. However, this is all overcome by the level of service and comfort experienced. Staff are so welcoming, remembering your name and details about you. We dined at Eliza the first night and it was lovely. Our server was so great and we witnessed another server, Ben, handle a loud and rude customer who was mistreating him with nothing but grace and professionalism. We dined upstairs the second night and the meal was incredible with a great wine list. This little restaurant stands up to any fine dining we’ve visited on our travels and our server Daniel was efficient, friendly and kind. The sommelier was also well versed but down to earth and we felt we learned a lot from speaking with her. Location is great, steps to the beach or the shops. One day we biked up to the KVR and out to wineries, it was convenient to get to and from the hotel and they made bike storage easy and secure. The grounds are beautiful, impeccable gardens and nice shadey areas to sit. We will definitely return in the future for more getaways.

After enjoying the 4-course dinner at the restaurant, this is the review my child wanted to leave: "No flaws; absolute perfection. The food was totally scrumptious. " I completely agree.

We would definitely give a higher rating if we could. The restaurant food was fabulous, the room was quiet and cozy, the claw foot tub was great after a long day! We were there for our 50th wedding anniversary and the staff went above and beyond to make it special, they set up music for us on a large vacant patio so we could dance, which is our favourite thing to do. So friendly, polite, and professional at the same time. We will be back!!

The Innkeepers Suite was the perfect suite to have a sisters getaway. The breakfast included was amazing as well. Thank you to everyone at Naramata Resort for making lasting memories ❤️

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.

Amazing high end dining experience -- limited menu items but everything is incredible, including the list of local wines.

The room is pretty but the have an electrical problem the lights kept coming on an off like at a disco it was annoying. The new chef created a four course meal and the corn and scallop dish had 28 ingredients and was good. The food is excellent, service friendly but spotty, chefs not friendly and the prices are way to high for what you get. I would not dine here again. People can not afford this and even if the could wouldn't spend $119 plus tax, tips, drinks it ends up being over $200 for small plates, Maybe this will work but my humble opinion is it is the wrong timing unless the chef has a piece of the business and is in it for the long run. I wish you the best. Food: 5

Beautiful location in Naramata. Highly suggest sitting outside downstairs in the summer - it stays cool and is so beautiful! The menu is tapas style (small sharing plates) and everything we ordered was delicious (olives, lettuce salad, ribs, chicken croquettes) and as non drinkers, even the mocktails were fantastic. The servers were very nice as well (they let my elderly mother use the lift to get downstairs instead of the stairs which are hard for her). It's not a cheap eats spot but it's not unreasonably priced at all.

Stopped in for a late lunch with a service dog. They would not allow us and the dog inside or on the patio. Take this place off your list! Go to the Naramata Bar & Grill. They have great food and allow dogs in outside seating and inside if they are certified service dogs!

A beautiful Inn restaurant in a beautiful little town by the lake. The milieu of a 5 stars restaurant from the scenic drive to reaching the Mission-style mansion and walking pass the covered veranda and entering the peacock blue dining room. Just dreamy and I haven't even touch the food yet. Without even tasting the food, I already knew Ned Bell would deliver and the kitchen sure did. Everything is locally source for sustainable except for coffee and chocolate I read somewhere. My friends and I enjoyed our meals tremendously. The first course of Roasted Scallops and Naramata Stone Fruit was well balance with the light vinaigrette with fennel and peaches. Our second courses were Wild Harvested Seafood, Yarrow Meadow Chicken and 63 Acres Beef Tenderloin. Nothing to complain about. Dish presentation was lovely, all meats cooked to tender and moist, and the sauces and purées were absolutely the best-perfectly seasoned. To finish we had coffee (loved the big cups) with Pavlova (Chantilly Cream and cherries) and Little Bites of Fantastic (little everything which was fantastic!). My deduction for the one star is from the service. My friend asked the person seating us where the washroom was located and he hesitant to answer and said he didn't know because he was new (this should have been in his orientation). I told my friend it was downstairs by the front as I saw the sign. Also maybe it wasn't our waitress's night but she forgot a few things we requested and had to ask twice a few times. My friend's credit card was entered with an extra digit and not able to see the credit card machine as the dinning room's light darken in the evening, she agreed to the payment and thus charged an extra $700. This was rectified when she called the restaurant and apologize accepted. This said, I did see excellent service at other tables. Reservation is a must. The veranda is covered and heated. Perfect for a special occasion.

The food used to be in incredible We have been there twice in recent months and it isn't nearly as good as last summer For the price you pay here, it's not worth it We won't be back

Absolutely wonderful on all accounts. The décor is modern and airy feeling. Service was top notch. And the food was out of this world. Absolutely fantastic. We both had scallops to start which were great. For main courses, my partner had the chicken (which he loved) and I had the beef and I would say hands down that it was the best main course I have had in years. I wanted to lick the plate. So good. For dessert it was the warm chocolate cake was also amazing. We had an amazing evening. Loved every minute of it and can't wait to come back. Would highly recommend.

Glad to see this beautiful place re-open. It appears the new owners are working out some kinks for the front of house team does not appear to be organized. When we made the booking the individual appeared unsure and lacked confidence with our request to accommodate a table for 5 guests. Upon arrival they placed us at a table for 4. We asked for a table to accommodate 5 and they reluctantly moved us. Fortunately the food and table service were excellent. Chef came over and chatted with us. All three diners were very happy with the flavours and presentation of the dishes. Oh and the bread and hand churned butter were to die for. Sorry gang, but due to the cufuffle pre meal I could only give you four stars.

Food used to be good, service has plummeted lately. Save yourself the pain of the awkward ambiance and try something else.

Such a shame about the restaurant, because the property and the Inn are so charming and lovely. First off, the service leaves a lot to be desired. I had to ask for all the basics, first the water, then cutlery, side plates and napkins. I was excited for the food and ready to write off the bad start, however it didn't get any better. The risotto was basically arancini balls and there was no truffle oil or oyster mushrooms to be seen. Most importantly, they were SO salty, I had to send them back (I've never once done this in my life). The special pasta dish, promised to us as fresh and handmade, was very pedestrian and not particularly fresh tasting. Chocolate torte was a glorified brownie the size of my middle finger. They ran out of whipped cream, so replaced with (what tasted liked) frozen store-bought vanilla ice cream. At the end, the waiter apologized for the risotto balls and took them off the bill, but nobody offered anything on the house or even had a manager apologize. My bill came to over $70, which would have been fine had it been a great meal. However, there were even wrong charges on the bill! Definitely not worth the bad service and mediocre food that took forever to get to the table. We were so unsatisfied, we considered driving to Penticton to a fast food restaurant, just so we wouldn't be hungry! I hope the management finally listens to all the feedback and reviews (Google the previous name, Ambrosia Restaurant), and finally fixes this blemish on an otherwise lovely hotel. My only other complaint about the hotel would be that we had breakfast included in our room (which was not cheap at all!), and due to a power outage, all they had was banana bread and yogurt. Not even coffee. I get it, sh*t happens - but the staff was not particularly apologetic or helpful about it.

Absolutely disappointed with the service - never heart about a restaurant that ask customer credit card information to just to hold reservations- pathetic really - will make sure everybody knows how little you trust your customers

We had an absolutely amazing time dining at the Naramata Inn. The food here is exceptional and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend coming by here for a meal! The burger was delicious and their wine list obviously was amazing. I can't wait to come back here again for a meal, it was such a nice time.

If you're looking for a wonderfully relaxing lunch or dinner with great ambience, amazing service and exquisite food, here's your place. Everything on their menu is delicious and to top it off, they celebrate the region by incorporating local ingredients. Definitely worth a visit!

It's tough leaving a review for a place this good. What can I add that isn't in other reviews. My friends and I go to Penticton each year for four days of wine and beach. After having lunch here this year, we've decided that our annual trip will include the restaurant of this inn each year from now on. Atmosphere. Food. And such sublime service- the perfect balance of friendly and efficiency.

Highly impressed with this restaurant. Very good service, modern decor, great ambiance. Unique cocktail menu. All entrees were locally sourced. We stayed here in early December and ate dinner here both nights - everything was delicious and amazing. Highly recommend for a special lunch or dinner outing.

Stopped for lunch, wine tasting, time to get some food in us Soups excellent , a Mulligatawny (sp) and a Caribbean chicken, corn curry chicken both wow , huge slab of crusty baguette with each bowl Chicken sandwich with potato salad, ordered. 2 for 2 people , shared one sand took one home for a snack. Big baguette with lots of fresh toppings!

If your in the mood for something fancy go upstairs to the fine dining. If you feel like something casual with friends head down to lounge or to the bbq patio! All excellent choices.

Went there for brunch today. The whole patio was empty except for one table. They seated us at a table with no view right next to that table. I would understand if the patio was full and that was the only table available but when the patio was almost empty? Two couples came along after and were offered terrible seats as well. How do you think customers feel when they see lovely tables with a view empty and you seat them in odd corners? One couple had a lovely view of the staircase till they demanded to change seats. The food was good but the whole experience was ruined by the terrible seating. Would not go back, they probably want customers who are dressed to the nines, not someone who came dressed in boots, tights, and a sweater because she just took her dog for hike.

Fantastic experience at the Naramata Heritage Inn over BC day long weekend, which is notoriously one of the most hectic times to visit. With only a handful of options for dinner in Naramata, most of which closed early, we were fearful that this was our only option. Fortunately, we were highly impressed and had a delicious meal with excellent choices for both the food and drink menu! Staff were so friendly and treated us very well, even helping with menu selections and wine pairings. Would certainly go back

It was truly tough to leave our little room tucked into the corner of the inn. From the moment we set our bags down, I felt spoiled. Little touches mean so much when you're on a vacation and Naramata Heritage Inn had them in spades. When we arrived late on evening one, cozy bathrobes were awaiting, laid out on the bed with chocolates atop them. Partnered up with the complimentary lavender eye pillow, and a personalized note that wished me a happy birthday made it all the more special. Aveda amenities abounded, complimenting the Heirloom Spa in the underbelly of the inn. Side note - I had a fantastic massage here 4-5 years ago. The spa is really charming. Although, like most spas, charming comes with a bit of a price tag. You can expect to spend $100+ on body services here. It's a heritage building so it creaks, its walls are a bit thin and while it lacks ice machines like a hotel, the 24 hour staff are happy enough to find you a bucket and ice to enjoy all of those white wines this region is famous for. Grab wine glasses from the stocked hallway and open the top bureau drawer to find the corkscrew. To our pleasant surprise, the temperature was set perfectly, and automatically adjusted for day/night, even when the heat blazed outside. But the real draw of an old building? The nooks and crannies on the inside, and the wrap around veranda and second floor patio on the outside. There are really darling places to curl up with a book or a glass of vino and pass the day. The restaurant? Room rates include complimentary breakfasts which consists of homemade preserves, baked goods like poppyseed loafs and muffins, a large fruit salad, granolas and yogurts. Luckily, when we booked, the staff asked if we wanted to make a reservation for dinner at the restaurant. We hesitated... it's not too often that a hotel restaurant is really fantastic (I might have a bit of an assumption that they tend to be pretentiously priced, but the food doesn't measure up). But the Rock Oven Restaurant was truly a treat. Servers who know their wines inside and out--enough to be able to recommend one that would match both my Haida Gwaii halibut and Peter S's Albertan bred steak (Van Western Vivacious, FYI), creative combinations of entrees and salads and herbs plucked straight from their garden. A seat on the patio is a must! Parking around the perimeter is plentiful. Pro tip: find a shady spot for your ride. It gets sweltering in the desert. A couple of other notes to make for those thinking of sleeping over. 1. There's no televisions in the rooms. 2. There's free bikes to use on the nearby trails. If you pick this inn for no other reasons, let it be these: The balconies on the upper level are large enough to lay out on. Pack a blanket with you (also good for the beach) and make use of it under the starlight to have a wine picnic, and then, allow the sound of the lake waves lapping up on the shore, and the haze of wine, to lull you to sleep under the shooting stars.

Naramata Heritage Inn is a gorgeous old building with original claw foot tubs and fixtures & comfy beds. All of the rooms open up on to the second floor terrace with peekaboo views of the lake or the garden. There are no TVs to distract you from the quiet peace of Naramata. These are the best accommodations in town (there are a few dated motels) & are a short walk to lake access, the only store, and the only pub. The inn has bikes for you to borrow to ride the Kettle Valley railroad trail and serves an excellent free breakfast of house-made breads, local fruit, house-made jams, cheese, yogurt, nuts and granola. We've been here twice now, and it's the perfect spot to celebrate an anniversary and explore the Naramata Bench wineries from. The inn also features an Aveda products spa and a restaurant - the Cobblestone Wine Bar. The restaurant menu focuses on house-made flat breads with a variety of accompaniments paired with local wines, they also have house-made pastas (which fell flat on this visit), and your general Pacific Northwest style preparations of fish and meats.

Was here for lunch during a long weekend for a wine event. We walked in about 11:30 and were the first ones there. The waitress immediately acknowledged our presence and set about getting us seated and served in a very attentive manner. She apologized for the fact that she was still setting up but managed to serve us and 3 other tables as the lunch crowd grew. The food and beverage selection was very local and extremely good, we had the charcuterie and a lemon avocado shrimp plate. The plates had a lot of local produce and the fruit was superb. Even when the credit card machine didn't work the waitress took the time to walk us up to the hotel desk to pay our bill, best efforts in every case. I would heartily recommend this venue for any meal.

Absolutely incredible! Top notch service, going above and beyond to bring us champagne on the house to start our meal off when they heard we were celebrating. Nice ambiance, large selection for such a carefully hand crafted menu (looked to be a couple vegan options but mostly animal based). We had the salad, salmon/chicken respectively, and milk chocolate cake for dessert. Truly phenomenal and one of the best meals I've ever had.

Excellent hotel. Beautiful location. Close to the best wineries of the south okanagan. Bike trails close by. Century hotel tastefully renovated.

I had lunch here with my wife in the summer. The barbecue was amazing! And she had the flat bread and claimed it was the best flatbread she had ever had in her life! We are quite picky eaters so it takes a lot to impress, this place did it!

A few days ago we stayed three nights here for a wedding in Naramata. We had an early flight into Penticton so we arrived to the hotel prior to check in. Jillian was friendly and welcoming. She offered to hold our bags while we explore a couple wineries and provided us with a map. She told us about the few mountain bikes they have for guest use and we decided to go for it. While we chatted with her a house keeping staff member came down to say our room was ready. We walked into our room to find a nice, comfy bed with two bath robes, fresh flowers, an armoire (no closet) a large dresser and a door that opened out to the second floor terrace. In front of our window was a table and two chairs. During our stay we took the bikes out several times, which was convenient. We enjoyed dinner in their restaurant downstairs. Their pasta is handmade each day. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast in their dining room with quite the selection including an array of breads and spreads, fruit, salad, meats and cheese, yogurt, granola and toppings. Kayleigh made me my own decaf cup of coffee each morning. My husband and I both had massages at the spa. He had a deep tissue massage and said it was great (he's tough critic). I had the relaxation massage and loved it. The locker rooms were nice and the women's was stocked with an array of Aveda lotions, moisturizers, hair sprays and hair products. I asked if I could come back later to use the hair spray after curling my hair and the massage therapist let me take one up to my room. We asked the front desk staff, which was usually Kayleigh, for buckets of ice, carafes of water, taxi rides, an iron etc. She and anyone else was so friendly and helpful that it really wowed us. Originally we had booked our stay with a B&B because there were no hotels with available rooms then but they ended up selling their establishment a month later and transferred our stay to the Naramata Inn & Spa. We were thoroughly happy with our stay and would love to come back again.

Came here for lunch during a wine tour and I was quite impressed with how cozy and warm this place looked. We had about 18 of us on the wine tour, and from what I heard the bread was absolutely amazing. I ordered the smoked duck fettuccine. The pasta was freshly made and the duck was perfectly smoked without being too salty. We had such a wonderful here and apparently everyone needs to try "The fizz" drink.

Very disappointing food and service. The food did not look or taste good, "home made" bread was stale and if it was made at home, it was done so weeks ago. Prices were high for what you get and they charge an extra $5 for 5 additional slices of baguette to accompany the 5 you get with the dip platter. The menu descriptions don't match what arrives, heirloom tomatoes are actually store bought cherry tomatoes. Service was slow and came with extract attitude, they were apparently busy, however only 3 tables occupied on the patio. Only reason they deserve one star is the location. Save yourself the trip and money, there are far better options along the bench!

We stayed here for three nights and greatly enjoyed the expansive breakfast (included) and all the beautiful touches of the heritage hotel. We enjoyed the spa which was wonderful and convenient and finally the restaurant Rock Oven which was also spectacular featuring local wines and "off the menu" cakes. Such a fabulous location in a quiet town. Thank you!

Amateur hour at the Naramada Inn. On Thursday, 9/15, we drove to the Naramada Inn looking forward to our anniversary dinner. After getting seated at we were served water. so far so good. We placed our order and we're informed that the Chef was working on a big order (7 people at one table) However, the restaurant was half empty. so we waited and waited for our order of pasta and the local favorite roast chicken. An hour and five minutes later our order arrived. By then we were disgusted by the wait and the food was mediocre by any standard. Obviously the Chef doesn't know what he is doing. If he can't handle a multiple orders on a SLOW night he is in the wrong line of work. If you decide to eat there, I would suggest calling in a take out order, and when you arrive tell them you changed your mind and would like to eat in-- then maybe the food will be served in a timely manner.

Staying at the Naramata Inn was a wonderful experience. We came with five of us - two grandparents, two parents and a toddler - and shared the main floor Champagne 'executive' suite among all of us. The staff bent over backwards to help us out, particularly with our toddler's needs, and added personal touch after personal touch to make our stay magnificent. We had some bumps at the beginning of our stay (turns out there was a live band playing in the courtyard outside our room -- ended up being totally manageable), but the staff did everything they could to accommodate us. Truly outstanding experience - the heritage decor, the staff, the location, the food. I can't say enough about the Inn - and particularly the warm, gracious and helpful staff.
