Forbidden Fruit Winery
Visit today’s Garden of Eden at Forbidden Fruit Winery — a family-owned organic boutique winery on Ven’Amour Organic Farms, one of the oldest continuously operating certified organic estates in British Columbia, farming the banks of the Similkameen River since 1977.
The winery produces small lots of premium, award-winning tree-fruit and grape wines from 100% BC estate-grown fruit, using only organic and sustainably farmed production practices. The fruit wine range is a genuine expression of the valley’s orchard heritage — Speachless Off Dry Peach, Flaunt Sparkling Plum, Pomme Desiree Iced Apple Dessert, and Adam’s Apple among them — alongside grape wines and the acclaimed Dead End No Return red. Every wine is handcrafted with environmental sensitivity and a commitment to the purest expression of what grows on this remarkable stretch of river valley benchland.
The name Forbidden Fruit reflects both the story of creation and the winery’s own philosophy — that organic fruit wines, once dismissed as a hobbyist’s pursuit, reveal a new empowerment once tasted. It’s a philosophy that has earned the winery consistent awards and a loyal following across BC and beyond, with wines available at the tasting room, online by the case, and through select retail and restaurant listings across the province.
The Harvest Moon Guesthouse offers on-site accommodation for those who want to wake up inside the orchard and vineyard that produced what was in their glass the night before.
