Located in East Lillooet, near the site of the never-built Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Berens, it is the first successful attempt at a commercial winery in the area in the 20th Century and has won numerous awards for its wines.
It is the only commercial winery so far in the newly designated Lillooet wine region, though there are established local vineyards which are non-commercial and a history of wine cultivation at nearby Fountain.
[1] Though the winery's first commercial vintage was made from grapes and wine brought in from the Okanagan, their first bottles made from grapes grown only in Lillooet were opened on April 30, 2012.
[2] The winery's vineyards comprise twenty acres on the east bank of the Fraser River opposite downtown Lillooet, at an elevation of 230m,[3] which was formerly ginseng farm and, before that, alfalfa farm and prior to that, market gardens.
It also has a small gallery featuring pottery, utensils and photography by area craftsmen and artisans.
