Vanessa Vineyard Estate Winery
Vanessa Vineyard Estate Winery grows grapes at Cawston, in the Similkameen Valley appellation of British Columbia.
Where it sits
Vanessa Vineyard Estate Winery is at Cawston, and its fruit falls inside Similkameen 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 Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Viognier.
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: 75 acres of planted vines on a 220-acre site.
Visiting
seasonal
Also in British Columbia: Venturi-Schulze Vineyards, Vigneti Marchetto. The full list is on the British Columbia page.
