Corcelettes Estate Winery

Corcelettes Estate Winery, located on 170 acres in the pristine Similkameen Valley, blends passion, precision and science to craft expressive, small lot premium wines. Led by Charlie and Jesce Baessler, the skilled team at Corcelettes is committed to creating exceptional wines and experiences for visitors. In history the word “Corcelettes” described a royal garden; this has not changed with the team’s continued attention to the land and precision practices in both the vineyard and cellar.

We place greatest care in our viticulture and believe in making our wine on the vine. Cultivating our estate vineyard and working closely with our local growers, no short cuts are ever taken in finding balance between viticulture, our environment, and winemaking.
With 42 planted acres, we present a diverse range of premium wines that showcase the stony, windswept terroir of the Similkameen. Our portfolio includes Bordeaux varietals, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, crafted from Similkameen grown grapes. Each bottle captures an entire season of tending our land and every step of cultivating our grapes by hand, with great respect for our unique terroir.

Within each sip is the intensity of the sun against the hot, steep valley walls, the notoriously powerful wind that sweeps the valley, and the gnarly, mixed stone & mineral rich soils in which our vines are rooted. The Similkameen Valley is a rugged, magical place that is the Canadian wine industry’s best kept not-so-secret anymore, and we couldn’t be more proud to have planted our roots here.

We hope to share a story with our visitors, through an experience that is authentically Similkameen, that is the essence of our passion for crafting wine in this spectacular valley.
