Video AdVINEture: Okanagan Valley


Posted on Sep 10, 2025

From the rugged beauty of the Similkameen to the golden shores of Osoyoos, our latest video AdVINEture through the Okanagan Valley reminded us why BC wine is a world-class contender. 🍇✨

This trip had it all: the elegance of Clos du Soleil, the cool-climate finesse of Solvero, the rugged beauty of Garnet Valley Ranch, the boutique precision of Henricsson Vineyard & Red Barn,  the artistry at CheckMate, the legacy at Kismet Estate, and the warm hospitality at Adega on 45th.

📍 Similkameen → Summerland → Naramata → Oliver → Osoyoos

In spite of recent challenging vintages, what we found was a region that’s not just surviving—it’s thriving. Quality is soaring, individuality is shining, and the stories behind the wines are more compelling than ever.

There’s something inherently festive about bubbles.

A promising future in BC.

Whether you’re popping a cork to toast a milestone, pouring a glass at brunch, or simply pairing effervescence with a Tuesday evening, sparkling wine adds a touch of joy to any occasion.

Does BC do Sparkling well? The answer, in short, is yes.

We recently spent time in the Okanagan and were lucky enough to taste a few unreleased bottlings that left us buzzing with excitement. BC’s sparkling wine future is not just promising, it’s already happening.

One of the best views in the Valley.

Climate change continues to be a growing concern worldwide and conscious consumerism has forced business industries to shift their view on sustainability from an optional nice to have to a minimum requirement. The wine industry is no different and one of the wineries helping lead the movement in BC is Summerland’s Okanagan Crush Pad (OCP).
