Nk'Mip Cellars

(1081)

This lakeside property is located on 1,200 acres of band land located in the town of Osoyoos. This southern Okanagan area is home to Canada's only pocket desert. With some of the most spectacular views in the Okanagan, this region is well known for its long, hot summer days and cool nights, mild winters and minimum rainfall. All of these factors contribute to this fabulous grape-growing region.

Some names carry weight.

Mer'r'iym means marriage in Nsyilxcən, the coming together of the perfect blend. Every varietal chosen with intention, every decision in the cellar made in service of what this wine is meant to be.

Not forced. Not rushed. Just two things finding each other at exactly the right moment.

Follow it to the end. It's worth it.

Véraison. The moment the grapes shift. Greens turn to purple, sugar rises, and we listen. This land has always known how to ripen things right.

There's a moment that comes somewhere between the first sip and the golden hour. When the day finally slows down enough to taste it. When you realize this is exactly where you're meant to be.

Our rosé doesn't just happen to be there. It's part of the knowing.

Some things you just have to experience in person.

The view. The wine. The art. The deer that wanders through like they were there first. And the food that makes everyone at the table reach for their phone before their fork.

This is Nk'Mip.

Good wine asks for good company.

In Syilx culture, gathering is intentional, to share food and drink is to honour the moment and the people in it. Our Qwam Qwmt Rosé was made for exactly this. Grown here, poured slowly, savoured together.

Available now at the link in bio.

The afternoon just got a lot better.

Sweetgrass Happy Hour runs Monday through Thursday, 3:30 to 5pm. Join us for stone-fired pizzas, small bites, and estate wines by the glass. Order a bottle of wine and we'll bring you a complimentary margarita pizza to go with it.

Every other Wednesday during Happy Hour, we welcome live music to the Sweetgrass patio. Good wine, rotating artists, and the kind of afternoon that's hard to leave.

Reservations recommended. Book at the link in bio.

Growth takes time. It asks for patience, for presence, for a quiet trust in the land and what it holds.

Here in Syilx territory, we have always known this. The vines don't rush. The seasons unfold on their own terms. And what comes from that, the fruit, the wine, the story, carries the weight of that waiting.

Some things are worth the time they take.

Sweetgrass, known in Nsyilxcen as sxsìst'iyaʔ, is one of the four sacred plants of the Syilx people. Braided and burned, its smoke has long been used to clear space, welcome presence, and mark the beginning of something intentional.

We thought of that when we built the menu at Nk'Mip. Each dish is an invitation, a reason to sit down, slow down, and stay a little longer on this land.

The burrata. The gnocchi. Fish tacos with the desert hills at your back. A glass of rosé catching the afternoon light.

This is what gathering looks like here.
