Our Wine Brands

McWatters Collection launched in 2011 with a Meritage and Chardonnay, crafted from grapes grown in the south Okanagan Valley. These two flagship wines represent the entirety of the portfolio and are created as a legacy to the McWatters name, with the ultra low production of these premium wines determined by the low yields in the vineyard.

TIME Winery launched in June 2013 with a select line of wines crafted from the vinifera in the south Okanagan Valley. The TIME portfolio includes both a red and a white Meritage blend, plus a number of distinct single variety wines as our vineyard’s planned moderate yields permit.

Evolve Cellars opened May 2015 and celebrates the evolution of our British Columbia wine industry with a series of fresh, approachable wines. Fruit-forward and bright, these wines are crafted from our estate vineyard and grapes grown by our grower partners in the South Okanagan. Through Evolve we raise a glass to our collective journey, and what the next step may bring.
