The BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF) is delighted to announce that Hillside Winery will donate $1 from every bottle of its 2019 Muscat Ottonel sold online and in the wine shop during May 2021.
All of Hillside’s wines are terroir-driven, small-lot productions, and they’re made exclusively from Naramata-grown grapes. Winemaker Kathy Malone takes a low-intervention approach that allows the unique character of the grapes to shine through. Muscal Ottonel was the first white variety planted at the Hillside farm (in 1984), and has been a favourite ever since. The refreshing 2019 Hillside Muscat offers floral aromas followed by hints of spice on the palate, making it an ideal summer quaffer.
Shelann Sleegers of Hillside Winery says the Hillside team was pleased to come forward with this initiative to support the BCHF, which is the only charity of its kind in Canada. “We know they make a real difference in the lives of our colleagues, and we want to support organizations that play a positive role in our community.” The charity’s Executive Director, Dana Harris, notes the BCHF is “deeply grateful for the donation. We were founded on the idea that we in the hospitality industry work together to help our own, and initiatives like the one from Hillside can make a big difference. We offer people in dire situations not only financial help, but hope.”
The donation applies only to direct-to-consumer sales, so please place your Hillside Winery Muscat order online or at the winery to support this initiative. The winery offers free shipping on orders of 6 bottles or more.
Funds raised by the initiative will help the BCHF continue to provide last-resort assistance for hospitality workers in financial crisis due to a serious health condition. The charity also offers a scholarship program that fosters the next generation of hospitality industry leaders.
