TINHORN CREEK VINEYARDS

-

A trailblaze­r in environmen­tally sustainabl­e winemaking practice, Tinhorn Creek has built its reputation on its fine selection of estate-grown wines. The winery is also home to Miradoro Restaurant, which serves award-winning cuisine in a dining room with panoramic South Okanagan views.

After farming their vineyards for 23 years and making wines from their Diamondbac­k Vineyard on Black Sage Bench and Tinhorn Creek Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench, the incrementa­l improvemen­ts made over time helped coax the best out of the two vineyards. This process resulted in birth of a flagship wine in 2017 – The Creek.

Over the summer, Tinhorn’s event schedule kicks into high gear. May through September, the vineyard hosts its Canadian Concert Series, showcasing some of the best new Canadian talent under the stars at its hillside amphitheat­re. July 13th, the Starlit Supper returns, featuring a multi-course menu by Miradoro, complete with wine pairing, and telescopes to view the stars.

August 17th, visitors can stroll through the vineyard with viticultur­ist Andrew Moon during the Golden Mile Bench Vineyard Tour and Tasting. Event-goers will sample Tinhorn Creek wines as they learn about vineyard practices, sustainabi­lity, and the new Golden Mile Bench sub appellatio­n. This experience is capped with an outdoor reception, with canapés accompanie­d by Tinhorn Creek wine.

This premiere Okanagan wine destinatio­n also offers various tours and tastings in its tasting bar and private tasting room and, regardless of the event, Tinhorn Creek promises its visitors an experience to remember.
