History: In 1859, Oblate missionary Father Charles Pandosy planted the first vineyard at the Oblate Mission near present-day Kelowna.

Varietal: When the grape variety in the wine is named on the label (Chardonnay, Merlot), the wine is a varietal.*

Geography: The southern Okanagan Valley in the area between Oliver and the border is classified as part of the Sonora Desert, which runs south to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.

Expansion: There are now 160 grape wineries in BC and several licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

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