Situated at the base of Giant's Head mountain in Summerland our Santa Fe Style Winery is enjoyed by locals and visitors. Bring a picnic and enjoy the sites from the patio.

Established in 1999, Thornhaven’s southwestern Santa Fe style reflects the natural landscape of the semi-arid Okanagan climate, where dry grasses, cacti, sagebrush and Ponderosa pine thrive. Perfectly designed for wine making, the winery's unique structure allows gravity to transport the fruit juice from the crush-pad to the cellar, eliminating the effects of pumping.

Both stainless steel tanks and French Oak barrels are used to create our distinctive handcrafted red and white wines. Our Cellar Master, Jason Fraser, and wine making consultant, Christine Leroux, together create some of the finest award-winning wines around.

Every aspect of the wine creation is overseen by the Fraser family, from the delicate art of the growing stages right through to the final stages of the finished product.

Distribution: Winery, select VQA and private wine stores in Vancouver, Victoria and the Okanagan

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.
