8th Generation Vineyard

8th Generation Vineyard grows grapes at Summerland, in the Summerland Lakefront sub-appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2007.

Where it sits

8th Generation Vineyard is at Summerland, and its fruit falls inside Summerland Lakefront, nested within Okanagan Valley, one of the recognised growing areas of British Columbia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.

What it grows

The winery works with Pinot Noir, Syrah, Riesling and Pinot Meunier.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.

Vineyard area: 7 acres.
