Cheers to the memories we've made and the ones we'll make in the future! 🍷💕
We are saddened to announce the closure of Sumac Ridge Winery. Our legacy will live on as Sumac Ridge, Steller’s Jay and Black Sage wines will continue to be sold at liquor stores across Western Canada and online through the Great Estates Okanagan website (link in bio).
Since opening our doors in 1980, we have been an important hub for the BC wine industry, with a legacy that includes many industry firsts. Here are a few of our favourite accomplishments from over the last 4 decades.
We were:
🍷 BC's first estate winery
🍷 The first to develop a commercially successful Okanagan sparkling wine
🍷 Canada's first winery to begin using Meritage on our Bordeaux blends
🍷 Okanagan's first winery to release a $50 bottle of wine
We extend our gratitude to the hundreds of industry professionals, visitors, customers, and employees who have made Sumac Ridge so iconic for the last 42 years.
