Inniskillin (Okanagan Estate)

With a rich history as well as a wide collection of wines, Inniskillin winery is one of Canada's most well-known wineries. Having first established a global reputation in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Okanagan division brings the same view to making quality wines to the unique semi-desert climate.

The Okanagan Valley climatic region is unique as a grape-growing region in western Canada. The unique mesoclimate (or site climate) at Dark Horse is one of the warmest in Canada, boasts the country’s lowest recorded rainfall (250mm) and is Canada’s only semi-arid desert. Intense sunlight ripens the grapes to full maturity while cool nights help to retain acidity.
