Montakarn Estate Winery on Black Sage Rd. in Oliver is a new winery that should not be missed.

Our view will have you clicking your camera throughout your stay in the wine shop. While there are other wineries located on the same ridge above Oliver, Montakarn is the only winery to make full use of the western view. You can see the valley from McIntyre Bluff to the south end of the Golden Mile, including right down to the Okanagan River.

While the plans for a winery took shape slowly, the execution of the plans seemed almost overwhelming. " That was an eye-opener!" Gary exclaims,referring to all of the small details that go into building a new winery.

Most of the details, including the design of the winery building itself, were completed by Gary, who earned a degree in architecture technology as part of a career change. Gary had spent many years at sea on ice breakers in the north and in BC's coastal waters hauling log booms before buying the property that would become Montakarn Estate WInery.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
