KETTLE VALLEY’S 20th YEAR ANNIVERSARY

This year we are proud to be celebratingtwenty years of family winemaking on the Naramata Bench. We planted vines here in1987 and harvested our first grapes in 1992, making this year’s 2011harvest our 20thvintage.

While many things have changed here at thewinery, which are evident from the early pictures, much has stayedthe same. We remaincommitted to growing the best grapes and making the best wine wecan, to improving every aspect of what we do, and to providing valuein our wines regardless of price point. Although we may have aged wehave not lost our passion for making age-worthy wines. Like our wines, we hope thatyou would agree, that we here at Kettle Valley Winery have cellaredwell!

Over the years we have been fortunate to havedeveloped many long standing relationships with individuals,restaurants and wine shops, who are our customers and are ourfriends. We havecreated the same rapport with our growers who have remainedcommitted to our goals of growing the best possible fruit at lowtonnage.

Our first customer in the wine shop, JohnLevine, still makes trips up to the Okanagan with his partner LeeCross to try wines and keep current with the activities at thewinery. Our firstrestaurant customers were John Bishop and Sinclair Phillips and theyboth continue to support our wines at their restaurants. As well, early restaurantsincluding Vij’s, Camille’s, Lake O’Hara Lodge, Salmon House, and theWickaninnish Inn have served our wines since our beginning. We thank you all and themany others who have joined our extended family by supporting us atour wine shop and in restaurants and retail stores in BC andAlberta.
