Wineries

Sandhill Winery

Sandhill Winery grows grapes at Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1997.

Where it sits

Sandhill Winery is at Kelowna, 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 Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Viognier, Barbera, Sangiovese and Malbec.

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.
