Mission Hill Family Estate:

Over 40 years ago, we founded our family winery with an audacious dream - to redefine what's possible for Canadian wine in the eyes of the world. With a deep commitment to the Okanagan region, and a relentless passion to produce wines that can stand alongside the best in the world, our wines are crafted with bold precision and an uncompromising respect for the diverse vineyards and micro-climates here.

Our Cuisine du Terroir approach lends itself to a light-handed manner of preparation that respects the character of the ingredient and where it is sourced.

From farm tours to food and wine tastings, we strive to ensure our team acquires the knowledge and appreciation of the valley and the winery needed to surpass our guests' expectations.
