Perched on the eastern shores of Lake Osoyoos, Lakeside Cellars is the culmination of a lifelong commitment to farming.
“It was a beautiful morning and again were the tree dotted hillsides reflected in the still waters of the lake in all their beauty and as I strolled around the old Haynes estate I was so impressed with the situation that I thought that any man in possession of such a place could surely not want for anything more.” The Author waking up on his first morning: The Story of Osoyoos, Geo J. Fraser, 1953.
Lakeside Cellars is now a 14-acre parcel of what was originally a vast cattle and agriculture enterprise. In 2016, Harbans and Harkesh Dhaliwal purchased the historical landmark and resting place of the old Haynes Homestead built in 1882.
Unfortunately, the foundation of the Haynes home was no match for recent flooding and exposure. The decision was made in 2016, that the historic home could not be saved as a whole. The home was deconstructed and any pieces of lumber that had not succumbed to rot were salvaged for construction in the new tasting room building; ensuring that some of the original structure would remain on the historic site.
