Much like the seven winemaking generations that have preceded them, The Schales family and 8th Generation are truly a “family winery”. The family’s winemaking heritage dates back to 1783 in the small Rheinhessen Village of Dalsheim, Germany. There is no doubt they bring this rich history and winemaking knowledge to every bottle they produce. Fueled by an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to make their own statement in the wine world, the Schales emigrated to British Columbia in 2003. They immediately set their sights on a unique vineyard on Rolling Hills Road in Okanagan Falls. This vineyard had the perfect attributes for growing wine varietals that the family treasured: Riesling, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris.

In 2007 8th Generation acquired an additional vineyard property in Summerland. This enabled them to expand their vineyards and focus on red varietals such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Syrah. Come taste the unique wines of 8th Generation paired to our spectacular artisan cheeses and cured meats.
