Burrowing Owl Estate Winery
Burrowing Owl Estate Winery grows grapes at Oliver, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1997.
Where it sits
Burrowing Owl Estate Winery is at Oliver, and its fruit falls inside 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 Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.
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: 210 acres of producing vineyards.
Visiting
wine shop on site; 20-minute tasting appointments, $5 per person
