Cultivating Quality, Nurturing Nature

Founded in 1999 on a family farm nestled in the heart of the Naramata Bench region, our winery and cider company have grown from a passion for fermentation and a dedication to preserving the diverse agricultural landscape of our corner of the world. Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every aspect of our operations, from our low intervention, living fermentation techniques to our partnerships with local farmers who share our values. As proud recipients of certifications like the Environmental Farm Plan and Sustainable Winegrowers BC, we’re continually striving to elevate our sustainability efforts and pave the way for a more regenerative future.
