#ShiptoSip with Mission Hill Family Estate

An outstandingly beautiful location the winery is set high above the lake with vistas that seem endless. Crafting wines that include the Terroir Collection, Reserve and Legacy Collection.

Featured here for your sipping pleasure are the Terroir, Reserve and a Sparkling wine to #ShiptoSip. If I had to pick a specially curated list of wines that would both be enjoyable and excellent for pairing with my favourite dishes I couldn’t think of a better selection than what is presented here. This is a reflection of fulfillment.

Enjoy!

THE OKANAGAN VALLEY
BEAUTY, CLIMATE, SOIL

The Okanagan Valley is a place of great beauty and history. As a grape-growing and wine-producing region, its future is full of promise.

Nestled between the snow-capped Coastal Mountains to the west and the Monashee Mountains to the east, the Okanagan valley extends north from the Canada-US border for about 160 kilometres (100 miles). Glacial lakes run the length of the valley, providing a moderating influence on the climate.

The Okanagan Valley also boasts Canada’s only desert. The Sonoran Desert, beginning in Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, runs north to Oliver, British Columbia. The southern end of the valley, near the US border, receives roughly 12 inches of annual precipitation, a small amount of which is snow.

Most of the vineyards are planted on benches above the valley floor; on varying degrees of slope that assist with air drainage, improves frost protection and increases the amount of sun the vines receive.

MINIMIZE OUR FOOTPRINT

Our goal at Mission Hill Family Estate is to ensure that future generations of farmers will continue to produce the Okanagan Valley’s finest grapes and visitors will be able to enjoy the area’s majestic beauty.

Sustainability is critical to that long-term success. As a family-owned winery with strict control over our operations, vineyards, and quality, we are able to infuse sustainability into a variety of stages both in the vineyards and at the winery.

We have taken several steps to keep that promise.
