Loved the small venue where you could hear each other talk. Wine selection by the glass was varied and great options. Food was amazing. We loved all the dishes we tried. Hostess was great in suggesting number of plates to order and then try more if needed. We didn’t need any more as satiated with what we had!

Nicely met at the door by Rebecca who took us to our table and was our excellent server for the evening. Drinks were very good and the food was outstanding and nicely served and explained. You knew the dishes had been prepared by a chef. I highly recommend Kin and Folk for a fun evening out and a great food and drink experience.

This was our first visit and we would recommend it to everyone. Our waitress was terrific. They were very accommodating with some ingredients that were in the meals we could not eat and adjusted them without hesitations. Both meals were terrific. We had the salmon and the pork shoulder.

A renowned winery restaurant, the lunch and dinner menus showcase the very finest of the region, with homemade dishes made from ingredients grown in the estate’s garden or sourced locally through trusted farming partners.

We are closed for the season. We look forward to welcoming you in Spring 2027!

Kelowna

About the restaurant

The name BLOCK ONE represents the first vineyard planted in 2009 and is very special to
Proprietors Sheri-Lee and Curtis. “It taught us to be farmers; to be ONE with the land. There are things we will never experience again. That vineyard block represents the past – the starting point, getting our
hands dirty, all the ‘firsts’ of our business”. BLOCK ONE represents the future as this vineyard block now produces some of the estate’s finest fruit for our international award-winning wines. You will be amazed by the outdoor seating area of the restaurant. Seating is covered by an engineering wonder in a one-of-a-kind cantilever that is already drawing attention in the world's architectural community. The restaurant moves to an equally impressive indoor space during inclement days and in the winter months.

All groups of 6 and larger are subject to an auto-gratuity of 20%.
