• Arrowleaf Cellars - Arrowleaf Cellars is a family-owned and operated winery situated in the picturesque Lake Country, BC. The winemaker, Manuel Zuppiger, honed his skills in Switzerland and further developed his expertise in Australia before returning to BC with the aim of crafting terroir-driven wines of outstanding quality. Arrowleaf officially opened in the spring of 2003, featuring 2001 reds and 2002 whites. The Tasting Room, designed by the acclaimed architect Robert Mackenzie, was inaugurated in 2014.

• Blind Tiger Vineyards - This small, family-run organic vineyard is located in Lake Country, British Columbia. Once an Alpaca farm, the family began planting vines on the property. In 2010, they planted their first blocks of Riesling and Gewürztraminer, later adding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The farming operation received its Organic Certification from the North Okanagan Organic Association in 2013. The vineyard’s philosophy is to cultivate quality vines with minimal chemical intervention. Natural compost fertilizers are used to maintain optimal soil nutrient profiles, sulfur is used to control fungus on developing grapes, and a flock of heritage chickens roam the rows for pest control. Blind Tiger Vineyards officially opened to the public in 2015 during the growing and wine tourism season. “We invite you to come enjoy our dream and taste our hard work.”

• Ex Nihilo Vineyards - The story of Ex Nihilo is a journey of love and a shared passion for creating exceptional wines. The dream began when Decoa and Jeff Harder encountered a sculpture that inspired the name Ex Nihilo, Latin for ‘Out of Nothing’. This was the catalyst for the winery’s creation and its rise as a premier, award-winning Okanagan Valley wine producer. During a trip to Napa Valley in 1999, owners Jeff and Decoa discovered a working model replica of Ex Nihilo on display in San Francisco. They immediately fell in love with the art, and by the time they left the gallery, Jeff declared that one day they would build a winery and name it ‘Ex Nihilo’. The original sculpture by Frederick Hart graces the west façade entrance of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC.

• Intrigue Wines - Intrigue Wines was founded in 2008 when two families united to explore their passion for wine. The strength of the partnership lies in the complementary experiences each partner brings. A winemaker, an accountant, an internet entrepreneur, and a healthcare advisor - all pursuing their fascination and curiosity for wine.

• O’Rourke’s Peak Cellars - The Carrs Landing estate is a 300-acre property offering panoramic views of surrounding orchards, vineyards, rolling mountains, and the sparkling waters of Okanagan Lake.
