Having grown grapes for the last 20 years we have established ourselves as one of the premier award winning grape growers in the valley. Our story started with our family immigrating from India in the 1990's and making Okanagan our home. We have always worked to establish ourselves as hard working and determined family.

The name Kismet is derived from the Punjabi word 'destiny'. We consider ourselves lucky to be able to consider Canada our home that provided us with endless possibilities. This has been a long time dream of our family to share our labour of love and hard work directly with customers.

Our wines are meant to over deliver on your expectations and we hope that our determined experience and dedication for our wines has an ever lasting effect on your tasting experience.

    Everything was excellent. The four of us were seated immediately. Hostess was quick and pleasant. Ambiance was nice with beautiful views of the surrounding vineyards. Our server, Chelsea, was excellent in every way. Outgoing, happy, knowledgable about every item on the menu (we had lots of questions!), and attentive throughout the meal. She made several suggestions, all of which turned out to the excellent dishes. Items were cleared from our table promptly even though almost every table inside was full. Chelsea checked with us regularly to ensure everything was to our liking. The food was excellent. Hot, plentiful, flavourful and properly spiced to our liking. We were pleased that many of the item were different from what you find in most other Indian restaurants. Some interesting and imaginitive approaches that we really enjoyed. Portions are larger than many Indian restaurants so we were very satisfied with the quantities. Best mango ice cream we've ever had!. A very nice touch was that the chef came around during our meal to ask how everything was. He answered our questions and was very nice. He checked with others tables as well. We were pleased with the reasonable prices as well. Our out of town guests frequent East Indian restaurants and said this was the best they had eaten. We will definitely be back and will bring guests here again.

    Went for a wine tasting prior to our dinner and ended up buying a red and a white of great tasting wines. The food was plentiful for the price and went beyond our expectations! Our server Tina - was thoughtful, made awesome recommendations and was a joy to chat with. Will be taking family and friends there this summer 👍

    Went for lunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The experience was excellent. Great food. Great service! Love the view there . Will definitely want to return especially when the patio will be open. The music was awesome. The only drawback was the loud banging noise coming from the kitchen. Not sure what they were doing. However, regardless of that it was definitely a great experience. Will return for sure!!

    The butter chicken was excellent, the shrimp were good but there were few of them and they were over-spiced. The prices were high. The service was very good but the dining room was cold. The only hot drink was Chai.

    We attended your restaurant on October 28th for a reserved dinner party of 4. We were greeted by a young man who was very kind and helpful. We were seated quickly but then no one came for approximately 30 mins, no drink order or anything. We finally had a woman come to our table and apologize (older woman) stating that she could not find our waitress and someone would be with us shortly. The gentleman returned and took our order and did a fabulous job! Meanwhile a waitress (I guess ours) came over and said “sorry I didn’t see you guys” (meanwhile she had been waiting at the table right beside ours several times? It was disappointing to be left for such a long time and see people around us served. However, the food as always did not disappoint! We LOVE your food and have in the past always been treated well. We will continue to come to your establishment based on past experiences that were excellent. Sincerely Lara Sampson

    While on vacation we heard about the Bistro at Kismet Winery. We were heading south from Penticton and realized lunch here would work. We don’t eat a lot of Indian food but are so happy we did this day! Tina our server was very pleasant and helpful. We settled on pakora vegetable fritters and butter chicken. We thoroughly enjoyed both with Kismet Wineries, Infinity Rose…of which we purchased a couple more bottles! Great experience for many reasons!

    65th birthday celebration. We wanted to be on the patio and even though it was chilly, our sever lit the heater so we could enjoy one of the last sunny days. Food is always excellent and service is friendly and attentive! My husband loves the Butter Chicken!

    The South Asian food in this restaurant is excellent! The quality of the food preparation, and just the right amount of heat makes for an extraordinary dinner. Just an advisory… We love hot spicy South Asian food, but we have found that the “East Indian Hot” and “British Hot” are simply too spicy for us. We opted for the medium hot, and found that the spice level was perfect. The mussels and the curries, and the vindaloo are all exceptional. Highly recommend!

    Our server did not listen to us and got our order wrong. She did not check back once our food was served and one meal was very late. She flew by asking if everything was ok once the food all arrived but did not wait to listen to our answer. But, the food was excellent and we really enjoyed it.

    We have always loved Kismet wine and Masala Restaurant but haven’t been back for a year. Noticed a decline in service and food. Plus the library wines weren’t available in the restaurant. We requested a table indoors but we’re given one outside on a breezy fall day. I didn’t bring a sweater and was unprepared. The patio heater was out of propane but thankfully they brought me a blanket. The service was good but they appeared short staffed and the server was kept busy trying to find propane and light patio heaters too. We will come back of course but hope to find their usual standards have returned.
