SPIERHEAD WINERY AND VINEYARD

SpierHead Winery and vineyard is situated along Spiers Road on the benchlands of south east Kelowna. The tasting room is less than nine kilometres from downtown Kelowna City Hall. Our focus is on premium quality wine, which we produce from grapes grown on our estate vineyard and Black Sage Road. The hand harvested grapes are hand sorted at the winery and fermented in small lots. Our winemaking team is led by Tom DiBello, one of B.C.'s most prominent consulting winemakers.

As visitors enter our property the driveway winds through a McIntosh apple orchard and Pinot Noir vineyard. The parking is amongst the vines, next to a giant pumpkin patch in front of the winery. The wineshop features photography and paintings, all with a vineyard theme. Visitors can also purchase an assortment of cheeses, olives, cold cuts, pates, baguettes while enjoying a glass of wine (and a view of Okanagan Lake) from our picnic area.

SpierHead produces two white wines, a Riesling and Chardonnay. We also produce four red wines, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Vanguard -- our Bordeaux-blend. The winery building is nestled into a north-facing slope, allowing for a completely underground barrel cellar. We age our red vintages for 18 months in 100% French oak barrels. Our extensive barrel program includes cooperage from Cadus, Taransaud, Fouquet, Sylvain, Vicard, Francois Freres, Remond, Dargaud & Jaegle, Mercier, Demptos, and Saury.

We are extremely proud of the fact that SpierHead Winery is one of only twelve British Columbia wineries that produce a 100% cabernet sauvignon.
