Viticulture: Grapes for Icewine are harvested at -8° Celsius or lower, and often by moonlight.

History: In 1931, Calona Vineyards opened as the first commercial winery in the Okanagan.

Terroir: The sandy soil of the Black Sage Bench near Oliver reaches 300 feet deep in places.

Expansion: There are now over 175 grape wineries in BC and several licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

More awards: Jackson Triggs - Okanagan won the 2006 Rosemount Estate Trophy for Best Shiraz/Syrah of the year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London, England. A first for a North American Winery since they began awarding the trophy in 1994!
