Just 10 years ago, a dream became a reality for the owners of a winery. The name Le Vieux Pin comes from one majestic old pine tree, which stands guard in their vineyard. Located on the famous Black Sage Bench overlooking the south Okanagan valley outside of Oliver, they have created a winery that pays homage to the great personalities and wines of France.
