Wineries

Garnet Valley Ranch Winery

Garnet Valley Ranch Winery grows grapes at Summerland, in the Summerland Valleys sub-appellation of British Columbia.

Where it sits

Garnet Valley Ranch Winery is at Summerland, and its fruit falls inside Summerland Valleys, 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 Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

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: 320-acre site.
