Spring is in full bloom at Heaven’s Gate Estate Winery 🌸

Did you know Gamay is often considered the wine of spring? Light, vibrant, and endlessly easy to enjoy, it’s the perfect red for warmer days and slow afternoons on the patio.

Our 2019 Gamay Noir is 100% estate grown right here in the Okanagan Valley and has become one of our seasonal favourites. This light-bodied red opens with bright notes of fresh cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, balanced by refreshing acidity and a smooth, easy finish. It’s approachable, food-friendly, and perfect slightly chilled on a sunny spring day.

To celebrate the season, we’ve filled the tasting room with giant peonies and spring florals all weekend long.

Join us for a tasting and experience spring at Heaven’s Gate.
We’re open daily from noon to 5:30 pm. 🍷

Winter nights feel a little more magical with a glass of Cabernet Franc in hand. ❄️🍷
Captured against the soft glow of the season, our 2020 Cabernet Franc brings together rich berries, warm spice, and the calm of a snowy Okanagan evening.

Whether you’re gathering with friends, gifting someone special, or simply savouring a quiet moment—this bottle was made for winter.

✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us for Summerland’s Light Up the Vines! ✨

We loved welcoming you into our tasting room — pouring bright, festive reds to pair with comforting bowls of warm butternut squash soup. 🥂🍲

Nights like these are what the holidays are all about…
community, connection, and a little local magic. ✨

Cheers to making memories together, and to many more cozy sips ahead. 🍷

🎅✨ BREAKING NEWS FROM LIGHT UP THE VINES ✨🍷

If you’re wandering through the Bottleneck Drive tent tonight and suddenly hear jolly laughter echoing between the wine barrels… don’t panic.

We found Santa.
Not at the North Pole.
Not in his sleigh.
But right here in Summerland… sampling wine flights.

Honestly, I should’ve known something was up when he asked if the “Nice List” qualified him for a winery discount.

If you spot him, please remember:
🎁 He accepts cookies,
🍷 He prefers a bold red,
📸 And he will pause mid-sip for a photo.

Cheers to magical surprises, festive sips, and catching Santa living his best Okanagan life! ❤️✨

✨ Holiday elegance in a glass.

Our 2019 Meritage is the perfect companion for those slow, sparkling December evenings. A blend of Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc, this vintage pours with dark berries, warm spice, and velvety tannins that linger beautifully—much like the magic of the season itself.

Rich, balanced, and quietly luxurious, it’s the kind of wine you open when the lights are twinkling, the house feels cozy, and you’re ready to savour the moment.

📸 Styled in our festive holiday set to celebrate the little joys of the season.
