When you arrive into the breathtaking valley views in the towns of Cawston and Keremeos you're in awe of the magnitude of its beauty. Vineyards hugged by steep mountain cliffs, rolling hills and then plains, closer to the Similkameen river. Fruit stands hug the single lane highway thru the towns where you can find the best organic produce in BC, if not Canada. You might just try the best fruit of your life, or at least that will be our goal!
The terroir of the Similkameen Valley is unique and worth the visit, especially if you are a fan of bold, structured reds, piercingly beautiful whites, and every cider style you could ever dream of.
It's time for a private wine tour that does more than just taste wine, it's to connect you to the land and the people in the Similkameen Valley.
