  The owners of this winery must have a big head to name themselves Giant Head. Ahem…I said they must have…a…big…never mind. In truth, the winery is named after Giant’s Head Mountain, where the winery is located. They must’ve gotten here first as Giant’s Head is not small and boasts at least three other wineries. So, I guess only one is allowed to take the name of its location. Giant Head is yet another intimate estate winery where you enter a small tasting room and often enjoy a tasting hosted by the winemaker himself/herself. That may come off as an enervated response like I had enough by this point. My girlfriend and I had traveled from Osoyoos to Kelowna, and over seven days, visited 60 wineries, returning with 120 bottles. You would think when I reached Giant Head, number 50 by this point, that I would’ve suffered wine fatigue. But no, we never did. We even embarked on a second wine tour nine months later. Giant Head Winery was memorable entirely due to its winemaker, another charismatic personality obviously passionate about winemaking. The winery offers few wines for tasting, understandable since the winery only offers five varietals. Unfortunately, nothing really grabbed me, at least not enough to justify the price (they are slightly on the expensive side). And to emphasize the issue. Giant’s Head Mountain also features several more memorable wineries including Dirty Laundry. That being said, I also found Dirty Laundry too commercial. They were more interested in their brand than their wine. Giant Head was about the wine, and nothing more. In the end, that’s all that should matter. It’s worth a short visit, at the very least.
