The winery and vineyard property was purchased in 1999 when it was a hayfield and part of the ranch belonging to the neighbour below. The vines were planted in 2000 and the winery’s first vintage was 2003.

The man-made caves were built in 2016 to create the perfect aging environment for the wines. In the arid climate of the Similkameen Valley, an above-ground wine cellar would occupy a large footprint and require high energy consumption to keep the barrels in a cool, humid environment. However, by going 7 feet underground, the natural cooling power of Mother Nature is harnessed. The temperature remains around 10.5 degrees, mostly unaffected by external weather conditions.
