Whispering Horse Winery

Whispering Horse Winery grows grapes at Chilliwack (Yarrow), in the Fraser Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2012.

Where it sits

Whispering Horse Winery is at Chilliwack (Yarrow), and its fruit falls inside Fraser 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 Seyval Blanc, Pinot Gris, Dornfelder, L'Acadie Blanc, Epicure and La Crescent.

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: Creekside Vineyard 2.5 acres; Whispering Horse Vineyard 5 .5 acres.
