Our Epic Northwestern Journey – Part 22 – Dirty Laundry

We had a fun Dirty Laundry day, but NO, it’s not what you are thinking. 🙂 Dirty Laundry is a winery in Summerland. And, it was just voted best winery in British Columbia, 2024. It is also Maureen and Milos’ favorite local winery.

Once we got inside those of us who didn’t know the story or history of the winery, went inside to be “schooled”. Of course we were doing some tasting too. I learned about the history of Dirty Laundry by the wine servers at the bar. After hearing the story of their colorful beginnings, I got “pinned” with a laundry pin.

One of the things I tasted was their port, which was very good. I enjoyed it in a special port glass, called a Douro port sipper. The design is to help the port breath properly. I had never heard of this or seen this before. Of course I bought some. I love new and different things. 🙂

While we were inside Milos was staking our claim to the perfect table over looking the vineyards and the valley.

Here is a little video that tells the Dirty Laundry story in a very fun and creative way. Enjoy!

Dirty Laundry has a big, beautiful patio and a second big bar when things are really hopping. I wish all wineries had such a great set-up. There were also beautiful hanging gardens all around as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at Dirty Laundry too, though in completely different way than how it used to be enjoyed. Our visit was a clean visit, as are all the current visitations today. The things we enjoyed were the wine, the wood-fired pizzas, the view and of course, the company.

No matter what you do, or where you are, it is WHO you are with that makes it special. Life is ALWAYS better when shared with good friends and loved ones. Good food and good wines are just a bonus.

Dirty Laundry is located at 7311 Fiske Street, Summerland, BC. Definitely pay them a visit, learn their history, get pinned and enjoy the wines and your day. It will definitely be a unique wine tasting experience like none other. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well, and spend time with those you love. ‘Til next time.
