Inspection summary
Dirty Laundry Vineyard has been inspected 6 times by Interior Health Authority since September 24, 2019. The most recent inspection, on July 29, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
1 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Pests.
The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 8, 2025. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 2 times on July 4, 2023. For example:
5 Has the operator taken steps to ensure employees are using adequate hygiene measures to prevent contamination of food?
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded once on September 8, 2025. For example:
2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded once on July 4, 2023. For example:
4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
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 July 4, 2023. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

- F2.2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

Add more sticky traps if necessary. - Position the UV light fly traps directly in front of entrances or open windows. In my opinion, an extra UV light should be added to the main kitchen/ pizza preparation area. It's a darker environment so the UV light will attract more insects. The UV light should not be positioned right above food preparation areas. - Improve cleaning and sanitation practices, especially in areas like under the dishwasher.

What an absolutely beautiful winery. From the moment we drove up, the scenery was breathtaking. Everything on the property is so thoughtfully designed gorgeous displays perfect for photos, even an old washing machines that adds so much charm.The patio area… the view is just unbelievable. We enjoyed delicious pizza, AMAZING wine, and a fantastic wine tasting. The lady who guided our tasting was so friendly, and honestly everyone who works there is extremely welcoming.We had a great chat with Paul (Director of Fun times🤣) while soaking in the view, sipping wine, and enjoying our pizza. It was simply the best experience. Highly recommend this place unforgettable from start to finish.❤️❤️

What an incredible experience at Dirty Laundry Vineyard! We arrived around 11:00 a.m. and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by such warm, friendly, and genuinely amazing staff who made us feel right at home. One of the coolest things about this winery is their self-serve tasting experience. For only $6, you get to sample five different wines at your own pace. It's such a fun, unique concept and an unbelievable value. Every wine we tried was delicious, and there was something for everyone. After our tasting, we sat on the beautiful patio for lunch, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Looking out over the vineyards while enjoying a glass of wine was already special, but then the Kettle Valley Steam Train rolled by, making the whole experience feel like something out of a movie. It was such a memorable moment. For lunch, we ordered the pizza, the wings, and the Smoker Trio, and honestly, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was fresh, full of flavor, generously portioned, and paired perfectly with the wines. Between the outstanding wines, gorgeous scenery, unique tasting experience, fantastic food, and exceptional service, Dirty Laundry was one of the highlights of our Okanagan trip. It's an easy 5 stars from us and somewhere we'll absolutely return to. If you're visiting the area, this winery deserves a spot at the top of your list! And will be collecting a lot more bottles next time

This place is gorgeous, has great food, good wine and great vibes. We enjoyed our lunch and wine tasting so much we bought 3 bottles each. The pizza is good, the bbq is better(their bbq sauce is good, the brisket sandwich we did find dry however, the brisket plate is the better option) and the beer options for those whom maybe don’t partake in wine are the best we have had in BC. It’s quite a drive and winding roads so a confident designated driver or one of those tours would be the best bet.

Dirty Laundry’s wines are amazing. Tried the wine tasting for $6! All the tastings were so good it was hard to choose and purchased a bottle of their Gewürztraminer to have with lunch on their patio…boasting beautiful vineyard views. Highly recommend!

Came for a quick brunch with the Bachelorette Party, and was also a stop for our winery tour. The house pizza (Dirty Laundry Pizza?) was incredibly good, and I enjoyed every bite of it! The BBQ meat platter was on the drier end, but still good as well. Their selection of wine were all amazing, and the lovely lady who guided us through them was so kind and witty. Will definitely visit again to enjoy the pizzas and the view.
