As a Certified Travel Agent with CMTA Travel Services, I regularly get requests from clients looking to extend their Alberta trips into British Columbia's wine country.
While I specialize in motorcycle tourism and haven't made it to the Okanagan recently myself, I've been researching dining options for riders and travelers who want something better than roadside stops.
Here's what keeps coming up in my research:

Located at 4870 Chute Lake Road in Kelowna, reviewers specifically mention the organic farm-to-table approach and stunning Okanagan Lake views.
Multiple reviews note good parking accessibility and vegan options - important for travelers with dietary restrictions.
The price point runs higher ($30+ per plate based on reviews), but guests seem to feel it's justified.

What catches my attention is the consistent mention of it being "less touristy" with
vineyard-side patio dining overlooking orchards and the lake. For travelers looking to escape crowds, this appears to be a solid choice.
Both establishments are seasonal operations, so checking ahead is essential when planning your route.
When I'm mapping out wine country extensions for clients, these are the types of stops that can elevate a good trip into a memorable experience.
The key is balancing scenic routes with quality dining that justifies the detour.
