History

Our vineyard story began as a celebration of family and friendship, inspired by the natural beauty of this magical valley in Okanagan Falls. We share the land with the local wildlife, including the Nighthawks that return each spring to nest during the growing season. The unique micro-climate of Okanagan Falls provides a rare habitat perfectly suited to these majestic birds, and of course some of the valley’s finest grape growing conditions…coincidence or not?
