What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded once on April 10, 2019. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on April 10, 2019. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded once on April 10, 2019. For example:
4 Does the premises have the key services (e.g. water, sewer, power) required to operate safely?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on April 10, 2019. For example:
4 Are written sanitation procedures (Sanitation Plan) current and available on site?

Deep Roots was one of our favorite stops. It is getting harder to find small family owned wineries that still feel personal and genuine and this place absolutely does. The patio has an incredible view and the whole winery feels like you are stepping into someone’s home rather than a commercial tasting room. highly recommend!

This was our last stop on the Aikins Loop tour and it has the best view, wow! The best seats are upstairs overlooking the lake. It's stunning. Sasha gave us great, dedicated service. She had to walk up the steps each time. The wines are fabulous. We bought a white for our hosts. Excellent stop!

Best view from a winery in Naramata. Wow. You can sit and enjoy a tasting and just take in the spacious vibe and views. The family and staff here are so friendly. It's like you are visiting their house. The wine was delicious as well. Our favorite was the Parentage. There is also a large grass area for kids and dogs to play or to layout your blanket and enjoy some wine.
