Hester Creek Estate Winery

Hester Creek Estate Winery grows grapes at Oliver, in the Golden Mile Bench sub-appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1968.

Where it sits

Hester Creek Estate Winery is at Oliver, and its fruit falls inside Golden Mile Bench, 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 Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Trebbiano.

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: 115 acres of land with 88 acres planted under vine.

Visiting
