Tantalus Vineyards

Tantalus Vineyards grows grapes at Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2005.

Where it sits

Tantalus Vineyards 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 Riesling, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

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: 50 acre vineyard.
