Gold-medal Riesling, now pouring at Hester Creek. 👏 Fresh off a win at the All Canadian W**e Championships, our 2025 Riesling is now available in the W**e Shop.

Come visit our team for a tasting, and take a bottle of the 2025 Riesling home to serve alongside sweet and sour prawns or your other favourite Asian dishes. 🥡

Scored 91 Points from Julian Park 💭 "Aromas of crisp apple, honeysuckle, white peach and fresh melon rise from the glass. The palate is vibrant and beautifully balanced, offering flavours of Honeycrisp apple, honeydew melon, citrus blossom and delicate floral notes. Off-dry in style, the w**e's touch of sweetness is perfectly countered by bright, mouthwatering acidity, creating a Riesling that is both refreshing and remarkably versatile. The finish is long, clean and expressive, inviting another sip."

🤫 Only a few bottles of our 2024 Riesling are still available online. Order while you still can! https://www.hestercreek.com/product/2024-riesling/

Ontario, get ready to blush. 🌸🍷

Our Rosé Cabernet Franc has officially landed at the LCBO, making it easier than ever for Ontario w**e lovers to get their hands on a bottle of Hester Creek.

Fresh, vibrant and incredibly food-friendly, this is a rosé that goes well beyond patio season. Bring it to the table with fall dinners, Thanksgiving gatherings, or tuck a few bottles away for the holiday season ahead.

Look for Hester Creek Rosé Cabernet Franc at your local LCBO or shop online through the LCBO.

BC w**e, now a little closer to home. 🥂

The 2025 Viognier has captured hearts and palates alike. 💖 It's not only become one of our community’s top picks recently, but it’s also a personal favourite of Hester Creek's w**emakers, Mark Hopley and Brooke Jesus; Mark even calls it one of his finest white w**e creations yet.

Awarded a Top 50 spot at the BC W**e Awards and ranked among the region's Top 20 by James Suckling with 95 Points, the 2025 vintage is an outstanding example of what the South Okanagan can produce in aromatic whites. ✨ This Viognier transitions nicely from summer sipping to autumn savouring, pairing well with spicier dishes.

💐 What the critics have said:
"Wow. A brilliant, focused, aromatic and linear w**e that’s rich in flavor and balanced to a T, showing notes of lemon blossoms, magnolias, spiced apples and rose petals on a light body. So arresting, fresh and vivid on the palate and long in the finish." - James Suckling

"Bright floral notes open the show, followed by tropical pineapple and melon. The palate continues the theme with honeysuckle, papaya, and candied ginger. The sweetness is deceptive, with just under 7 grams of residual sugar. Impressive. Serve with spicy Indian cuisine for a real w**e and food experience." - Anthony Gismondi

We're thrilled that Hester Creek was just named as one of the 20 top w**eries shaping British Columbia’s w**e experience. VineRoutes looks at BC w**eries standing out at the moment, based on recent first-hand visits, panelist impressions and a combination of w**e quality, hospitality and the overall visitor experience.

"Hester Creek is one of the established names of the Golden Mile Bench, with a story that reaches back to 1968, when BC w**e pioneer Joe Busnardo planted European Vitis vinifera on the property. Some of those original vines remain productive today, giving the estate a particularly strong connection to the history and character of the South Okanagan.

That history is complemented by a thoroughly developed estate experience. The property combines its vineyard and modern w**ery with panoramic views, the Tuscan-inspired Terrafina restaurant and The Villa, a six-suite accommodation offering overlooking the valley. It is this combination of old-vine heritage, sense of place, hospitality and the breadth of the estate experience that makes this place really stand out."
