5 Places For Patio Sippin' In Kamloops

Drive along the panoramic inclines of the North Thompson River to discover a unique wine and cider experience at Privato Winery and Woodward Cider Co. Indulge in a tasting of award-winning traditional Burgundian-style wine at Privato Winery, or head across the yard to Woodward Cider to sample their crisp and delicious ciders or grab a flight to enjoy on the patio. 

Bring your 4-legged friend, take in their Music in the Vineyard summer concert series in the wine garden, or enjoy a picnic with delicious charcuterie, cheeses, crackers, and dips you can purchase onsite. Visit in the summer to enjoy a rotating local food truck and spend the afternoon sipping away on the patio. Alternatively, stop by in the winter to check out the family's iconic Christmas tree farm and sip hot mulled wine by the fires.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at the 80-seater patio at The Noble Pig Brewhouse. The kitchen's extensive menu includes everything from poutine to pizza and a wide range of burgers, sandwiches, and main entrées. The brewpub features incredible house-made craft brews paired with meticulously created food using only the best ingredients. Be sure to try the crispy, deep fried pickles - trust us! Sip on a summer beer or one of the rotating radlers that will change flavours all summer, with multiple always on tap for the sunny months!

The dining room is always buzzing with local residents who know how good everything tastes and visitors who are in the know. The patio, built inside an old swimming pool, is popular in Kamloops' warmer weather, especially in late summer when hops growing along the pergola form a shady canopy.

Look closely on your next visit to the Noble Pig's patio; you can see that the bench seating around the patio's outer edge is actually the original tile pool rim. 

Fans of outdoor dining will want to check out the Cordo Resto + Bar sidewalk patio, open daily (weather dependent) for lunch and dinner. Located on Victoria Street in Downtown Kamloops, Cordo's patio combines sun-drenched views under chic umbrellas with their signature food and drink flavours from the region. Cordo incorporates fresh herbs, local produce, and regional wines into modern takes on classic dishes whenever possible. The cuisine at Cordo is not traditional but is inspired by the rich diversity that comes from the land, water, and people of BC's interior. 

The real standout on the Cordo menu is the feature of craft cocktails made by their expert mixologists. Guests can try the Craft Gin Flight or a seasonal sip made with regional spirits like the Beeswax-Infused Okanagan Spirits Reserve Gin used in the 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kid' cocktail, featuring Wayward Krupnik Honey Flavoured Liqueur, cinnamon and honey syrup, lemon juice, and egg whites.

Soak up the sunshine and indulge in delicious food and drinks on the Cordo patio.
