Embark on an unforgettable wine adventure as we delve into the heart of Summerland, BC, to explore the remarkable Garnet Valley – an extraordinary grape growing region, carefully harmonized with its pristine natural surroundings. This rare and unspoiled gem awaits your discovery.
To start, Garnet Valley Ranch Winery stands proudly as a certified organic property, a sanctuary not only for grapevines but also for a charming lavender farm and eight acres of thriving organic vegetables. The winemaking philosophy here revolves around low intervention and organic practices, culminating in the creation of a handful of remarkable wines.
But Garnet Valley isn't done with you yet! Because we will also visit one of the newest and most exciting wineries right down the road. A winery built on one simple principle - truth. Come be one of the first to visit and experience Solvero.
With their vineyards perched at an impressive elevation of almost 600 meters above sea level – makes it one of the highest vineyards in all of BC. Here, nature's artistry intertwines with viticultural brilliance, creating a landscape defined by steep slopes and well-draining soils that bestow exceptional character to the wines.
Prepare to be enchanted as skilled winemaker Alison Moyes showcases the beauty of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, harmoniously flourishing in this rugged terrain. Her mission is clear – to craft premium wines that impeccably capture the essence of their estate vineyards and reflect the unwavering commitment to farming philosophies that embrace respect, honesty, and balance.
The Summit & Sip Wine Tour is an invitation to savour the essence of Garnet Valley, where nature and winemaking expertise converge to craft wines that embody the true spirit of the Okanagan Valley. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of this high-elevation sanctuary, where each sip of wine tells a story of dedication to nature's harmony and the pursuit of winemaking excellence.
It's time for a private Okanagan wine tour that does more than just taste wine, it's to connect you to the land and the people of Garnet Valley & Summerland.
