You're a savvy wine loving adventurer wanting to explore the western side of Okanagan Lake, where Summerland is landmarked by Giant's Head mountain, a prehistoric volcano that tells the story of the glacial and volcanic soils of various ages, all throughout the region. The land here, once dedicated to mostly orchards, has evolved over the years to be a world-class grape growing region which breathtaking views of the lake, kissed by beaches and a gentle, constant breeze.
With 3 main soil variations in this tightly packed region, the intention is to guide you on the subtle differences of terroir, through your wine glass.
Get a taste of Summerland terroirs all in one day from electrifying sparkling wines, Syrah, Viognier, Chardonnay and the heartbreak grape Pinot Noir, mouth watering Rieslings and more (so much grows here!) from some of the most innovative, and just fine folk/wine makers in the Okanagan Valley.
