An extraordinary winery—there’s no softer way to put it. From the moment you arrive, the intent is unmistakable.
The building alone, designed by Tom Kundig, sets the tone: bold, precise, quietly dramatic.
Then come the views from the tasting room—sweeping, almost surreal—and finally, the wines, which are nothing short of elegant and unforgettable.
Founded by Anthony von Mandl under the Mark Anthony Group, the winery carries the weight of serious ambition. You feel it in every detail. This is not a project built to participate—it’s built to define a standard.
There’s even that persistent whisper that it counted among the favorites of Queen Elizabeth II. Whether legend or truth, it somehow fits the narrative.
The winemaking is unapologetically artisanal. Old vines—some pushing 50 years—sourced from the finest sites in the Okanagan Valley.
Everything is done by hand: picking, sorting, decisions. Intervention is minimal, but intention is absolute.
The focus is razor sharp—Chardonnay and Merlot—and that restraint is exactly what makes it compelling.
It’s the meeting point of Burgundy precision and Bordeaux structure, interpreted through a distinctly Okanagan lens.
Getting your hands on the wines isn’t easy. There’s a waiting list for the club members.
Visiting isn’t casual either—reservations are essential, though walk-ins are possible. But that’s the point. Nothing here is rushed or accidental.
And once you’re there, it all makes sense. The setting, the wines, the experience, the quiet confidence of it all.
It’s a small winery, yes—but powerful in a way that’s hard to ignore.
Alongside Oliver, it’s helping push the Okanagan toward something much bigger: a rightful place among the world’s great wine destinations.
