Absolument charmant!!! Un cadre enchanteur, tout le personnel dédié à offrir ce qu’il y a de mieux un repas 4 services digne de n’importe quel grand restaurant, des propriétaires passionnés qui veulent nous accorder le meilleur au niveau gustatif et expérimental. Offrez vous cette expérience, ça vaut le détour.

We had a gift card for a picnic. We were very pleased having never been to the orchard.

Lelu the cat was a sweetheart!

The included charcuterie was yummy and very generous in cheeses.

We asked if there was any room for 2 more for supper, even though they were sold out they did manage to make room for us. Obviously, I would make every effort to get a reservation next time. But for them to just fold us in was incredible.

We were taken on a tour and the owner was entertaining, knowledgeable and humble. His MO is noble, he is trying to make a bright future for his family and Saskatchewan in general.

We would love to come back and visit again!

Thank you so much for having us!

Food review: the watermelon salad was a big surprise! Basil, watermelon, lemon, mint. Lots of flavour punches in every bite!

The lamb kefta was also delicious. I'm not a huge fan of beets but they were delicious. The Lebanese garlic sauce was my favorite- I actually convinced them to let me take some home. I've been eating it like apple sause and know I'm safe from all the local vampires for at least a week.

The braised chicken was cooked so well, so flavorful! The bread was crunchy and soft and seasoned well. I wish there was more of everything to eat because chef & crew did a great job.

I didn't think I'd enjoy the tuneric desert, but it was also a great ending surprise to the night. Id liken it to an exotic pumpkin cake flavor wise. Very happy!

Obviously I wish the views at the picnic didn't have a fence in between us and them, but I understand the safety need.

Some umbrellas or shade triangles, some couch seating and a fire table or 2 would bring out the best in their patio, they can do so much more with it! But who know what ideas they are cooking 🙂

Lastly the charcuterie could have used a crunch, pickles, pickled carrots, apple slice, pretzels maybe. It WAS delicious as is, but I missed that salty, crunchy aspect. But I'd still get it again 🙂

Cheers!

What A beautiful experience. The staff the Vineyard is just absolutely gorgeous. We did the supper in the orchard. And it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing as was The wine. We will be back for sure.

Within the last year we moved to Regina from the NWT. Our friends from the Vancouver area were planning a visit earlier in August so we looked up things to do. We found "dinner at the Over the Hill Orchard and Winery " and thought that sounds lovely. It was a beautiful night (August 8) with delicious food, amazing scenery, educational tour and yummy drinks (wine, sangria and cherry spritzer). I suggest the Orchard put 1 chocolate covered cherry for every place setting. That would entice sales. I would definitely recommend this dinner/tour opportunity. We will be back! 🙂

Went to Over the Hills on my birthday last Friday afternoon as they advertise they offer wine tasting. The orchard is beautiful and just a short drive from Regina. We really enjoyed the views and sitting on the patio. We found the staff had very little knowledge on the wines (couldn’t tell us how long the grapes are fermented, or anything about how the wines are made). Would like to return for their dinners and wine tasting nights with hopes that I can learn a bit more about the wines they produce. Overall good experience and would return for dinner but day time wine tasting wasn’t worth it for us!

Well here is another Saskatchewan gem! This beautiful location is ready for good times with family & friends. It's really fun to have the variety of Chefs to showcase their skills and local Saskatchewan ingredients. Our meal was really top notch, full of unique flavours. Our whole group of 6 really enjoyed every course (great work Chef Benet). The Gluten free accomodation was spot on. For bigger eaters, these kinds of dining experiences could be considered a bit lacking. However, if you go for the flavours, quality of the food and the experience, you won't be disappointed.

The wine offerings are another uniquely Saskatchewan experience! They have a lot of offerings to try. To my palette, I found their wines to be "thin" or perhaps "young" in body, but rich in flavours, especially the Saskatchewan sour cherry.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Over the Hill!
