Welcome to 235 years of winemaking history. 

A long tradition meets an open-minded view forward in our family owned and operated winery.

Craftsmanship and knowledge meet true hard work. Since 1783 our ancestors have been growing grapes and making wine, since 2003 Bernd and his wife Stefanie do so in the Okanagan Valley.

From pruning to 100% hand picking, to careful aroma preserving and fruit friendly processing, we give all working steps the necessary time and care. Our work in the vineyard is sustainable, land which we treasure for the next Generation, while not shying away from innovative steps. Careful vineyard management provides flora and fauna a vital environment for healthy vines - all of which reflects in our wines.

When it comes to the quality of our wines- we make no compromises. From cultivation, to making the wine and bottling - we carry out every step of our production. Always with focus on quality.

Our Vineyards help to preserve the unique agriculture land in the Okanagan which 8th Generation is proud to be part of..
