Another one of the local Wineries located only minutes from the Lighthouse. Rolling vineyards create a picturesque patchwork framed by 360 degree views, a mirrored lake and majestic mountaintops. You will find us on the foot of Boucherie Mountain in West Kelowna B.C. a remnant of a former strato-volcano created nearly 60 million years ago. The volcano once stood at over 2000 meters. Today it stands only at 417 meters in height due to high winds and the years of glacial drift. In the vineyards, we find remnants of rhyolite and andesite rocks. The lands are rich in mineral and organic matters. MUSIC, FRIENDSHIP, GOOD TIMES AND GREAT TASTING WINES IS THE THEME FOR THIS FUNLOVING WINERY.
