Src=images/stories/centre.jpg37041 71st St., Oliver, BC, V0H 1T0

P: 250-498-2880

There is no one word that describes Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course in Oliver. Centuries before the course was created the Okanagan people who lived here had formed an affinity with the canyons, the game, the wind, and the water that nurtured their lives and added dimension to this region of the valley. They referred to the area as “Nk’Mip” (Inkameep) whose English meaning roughly translates as “flat bottom land at the mouth of the creek or river”. However the translation lacks the imagery of their language. The Okanagan saw land in terms of pictures that went deeper than words and when you see the Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course you will understand why.

TF: 800-784-6304 P: 250-498-3537

Located in the Okanagan’s premier grape region, Gehringer Brothers is nestled in the heart of the well-known Golden Mile area south of Oliver. It is tucked in among several neighbouring wineries, overlooking an expanse of vineyard and orchards as far as Osoyoos Lake. The vineyard’s southeast aspect and gentle slopes give the vines excellent exposure to sunshine, while the elevated location on the bench keeps the vines safely above the Fall frost zone. The high mountain slopes behind the vineyards to the west provide evening shade, resulting in a rapid cool-off during summer, which is turn prevents the grape acids from dropping. That is what shapes the Gehringer style: a fine balance between ripe, sweet fruit and firm, clean acidity.

We believe great wine is an expression of the area it comes from…it’s grown, not made. A combination of soil, sun, vine & man, our wine begins with its roots deep within the sandy loam of the northern tip of the Great-Basin Desert. It is then ripened by the hot Okanagan sun and finally aged in our unique underground cellar, which is overlooked by the Hidden Chapel. Our old Italian relatives claim that legend has it, our wines are blessed by the Hidden Chapel…tasting is believing!

Noble Ridge Vineyard & Winery is nestled in the northern tip of a pocket desert in the southern Okanagan Valley in beautiful British Columbia.

The name of the vineyard is inspired by the ridge and by the noble grape varieties being grown. The southern slopes, with greater exposure to the sun, are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varieties, which were initially planted in 1986. In 2001, Pinot Noir was also planted. The northern slopes are planted with white varieties – Pinot Gris and Chardonnay – which thrive on the slightly cooler side of the ridge. A 4-hectare (10 acre) property adjoining Noble Ridge - "Noble Ridge North" - was purchased in July 2006 bringing the total acreage to 14-hectares (35 acres). 3 acres were planted to Chardonnay and 3 acres were planted to Merlot in 2000. One acre of Cabernet Sauvignon was planted in 2005. 250 plants of Malbec were planted in 2009.

Src=images/stories/riverstone.jpgP: 250-498-7798

We are located on a small knoll in the middle of the valley, just south of the well recognized McIntyre Bluff and just north of Oliver, BC, the Wine Capital of Canada.

When we moved to the Okanagan Valley we chose this site for its superb grape-growing qualities and planted the vineyard with a Bordeaux style blend in mind, which we have called Corner Stone. As our winery name, River Stone, and vineyard name, River Rock Vineyards suggest, our wines come from the deep rock and gravel soils laid down following the last glacial recession. We grow four red Bordeaux varietals; Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec as well as two white varietals; Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. Long sunlit summer days followed by fall's warm days and cool nights have consistently produced premium quality fruit.

Road 13

13140 316 Ave, Oliver, BC, V0H 1T0

Src=images/stories/road_13_logo1.jpgP: 250-498-8330

The wine making philosophy is to grow great fruit in the vineyard, maintain this fruit character through careful steps in the wine making, and finally, to perfect the texture of the mouthfeel of the wine with the use (or not) of barrels and fining. Great wines are grown in the vineyard, period. Grapes brought in from the vineyard at a certain level of quality cannot be made into a higher quality wine. Thus, we use good growing practices and low cropping yields to ensure that the vines and fruits receive the correct amount of sunshine, water and nutrients to put them in a position to make great wine. We like to use oak barrels. All reds and certain whites are aged in oak barrels for varying lengths of time, looking for the perfect balance between fruit intensity and oak extraction. While the taste and effect of oak barrel aging are pleasing, they should never dominate the fruit flavour of the wine but rather complement it.
