OUR VINEYARDS
EXCEPTIONAL VINEYARDS
We searched extensively for vineyards that represent the best of the Okanagan Valley. Our passion for traditional Bordeaux reds and Chardonnay led us to the South Okanagan and the exceptional terroirs of the Black Sage Bench and Osoyoos West Bench. Today, we meticulously farm three estate vineyards under the stewardship of the Evertt family.
