Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery

Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery grows grapes at Tappen, in the Shuswap appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2006.

Where it sits

Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery is at Tappen, and its fruit falls inside Shuswap, 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 Kerner, Maréchal Foch, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Siegerrebe, Ortega, L'Acadie Blanc and Petit Milo.

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: 7.1 acre vineyard.

Visiting
