Hillside Winery & Bistro

Grow the best quality fruit possible, pick at optimum physiological ripeness, ferment cool, and intervene with nature only when necessary...simple, elegant. Simple, elegant, yes, but easy? Definitely not. The temptation to constantly fiddle and improve upon Mother Nature is really more about manufacturing. Natural, beautiful wine is not manufacturedrather, it is carefully guided through natural phases to become the glorious essence of the effects of sun and soil on specific grape varieties. It is our belief that great wines start in the vineyard, and to this end, we use only the best quality fruit available from our twenty acres of grapes densely planted on hillside terraces surrounding the winery. We also have partnerships with select vineyards along the Naramata Bench as well as family owned vineyards in Oliver. It has been our commitment since our inception to produce hand-crafted, naturally fruit-forward, well-balanced wines that represent the true character of the grapes....
