Grist Mill & Gardens at Keremeos

A hidden gem for sure. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the tour is fascinating. When we arrived the owner greeted us and was super friendly. We chatted for a bit before going exploring (see all the beautiful pics). This is one of my new favorite spots and I will be making it a regular stop for me when I am in town. The restaurant was not open so I now have something to look forward to for my next visit. Stop in and you won't be disappointed.

We had an absolutely amazing time here. The Mill wasn't running when we visited but the manager gave us a tour that was so compelling I forgot to take photos. Volunteers were making biscuits and butter in the summer kitchen that were delicious. Lunch was a decent bowl of soup with bread from the mill. And when asked nicely they made grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids.

Went there for a night star event and it was beautiful! Great little location and worth checking out for a quick little tour! Great night and hope to come back again for some more night photos!

We went mid week, and it was such a beautiful, quiet place to visit. It was great to learn more of the history of the valley from the Miller- he seems to know every inch of the building and the history of the site. His enthusiasm was infectious, and I left with such appreciation for our time there. I highly recommend a visit.

Do you like to discover local history when you travel? The Grist Mill and Gardens at Keremeos is a great place to pick up the back story on this charming village. From it's inception way back in 1877, the Grist Mill was a hub in effect, where the local farmers would come to get any grain they had grown, milled. The water wheel still turns and is fascinating to watch spilling water back into the Keremeos Creek. It is full of charm and old world magic...tour the buildings including a lovely "summer kitchen" and the lovingly curated gardens. The restaurant is very basic but delish. The parking fairly scant...but a very worthwhile stop...bring a picnic and travel back in time. They also offer amazing music events at this location!
