Review Play Estate Winery - Penticton

First time visiting Penticton!! This place is absolutely stunning!! Great selection of wine!! The food is incredible tasty, the ambiance just breathtaking, gorgeous!! Their service totally understandable, with these days hard to find staff, they only have couple people on the floor that you really can notice they working very hard!! I definitely enjoyed this place!! Definitely will come back for more!!

Absolutely excellent food and wonderful service! Will definitely recommend to family and friends and have already done so today! They are passionate about their wines, dining and providing an exemplary experience. Highly recommend!

This is my first time in Penticton and we couldn't choose a better place to enjoy the view of the Skaha Lake. The food is amazing, their wine is fantastic. Inspite of being short of staff because of the conditions they did an amazing job and the food, the view and wine made my experience so enjoyable that will come back on my next visit!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this winery! The owner Julio and the restaurant/tasting room staff made this a highlight of my girls’ winery trip. Service, atmosphere, views, food quality and the wine (of course) were impeccable. But really, the warmth of the staff make it a must visit if you are in the area. We never heard of it before today but will be back for sure - and recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely jewel winery/Italian restaurant in Penticton.

Wow what a great tasting experience! Giulio went above and beyond explaining all of the excellent wines! The whites were fruity, but not too sweet! The rosé was a nice, complex & fruity. The reds were also amazing! Can’t wait to come back and have dinner here!

We brought a friend here (Sonetto) for the first time for her birthday dinner. The food was very well prepared and really quite delicious. I have to say where the disappointment hit was in the service. I have certain expectations from a fine dining restaurant and it just honestly did not hit the mark. We waited for close to 45 min to even get a drink, and each course followed suit with long waits for water, clearing plates, and new drinks. It seemed like the 12 tables would be manageable for the three servers but unfortunately this was not the case. I do wish them well and I hope they improve in their service. It is a beautiful setting and obviously the kitchen is doing something right. I think it important for their staff to recognize that each table is equally important as the other as the service seemed very inequitable tonight.

Service was sooooo bad. So so slow. Took 30 minutes to even get a drink. Took an hour to order our mains (didn’t even order starters) Had to ask for multiple things multiple times, including our bill. Took half an hour just to get our bill. Such brutal service. Food was good though. Definitely not worth the bad service though, I would never recommend.

Full package! The staff are friendly and on the ball... informative... in fact, they are lovely people. The food... perfetto!... fresh bread, charcuterie, the veal, warm olives... The view from the patio made us really slow down and enjoy how fortunate we are to be here in Penticton in a restaurant such as this with great food and great people.
