Lake Country Full Day Lunch Wine Tour-Incl. Tastings & Guide Grat

Gray Monk Winery has a charming origin story, starting with Austrian-German couple George and Trudy Heiss, who swapped hairdressing for winemaking when they moved to the Okanagan Valley in the early 1970s. They turned their orchard into a vineyard, planted Pinot Gris, Pinot Auxerrois, and Gewurztraminer from Alsace in 1976, and became the first to grow Pinot Gris in Canada. Named with a nod to George’s Austrian roots, Gray Monk opened in 1982 with a modest 125-case vintage made in a garage. Today, it’s a celebrated name with over 100,000 cases produced annually and a reputation for outstanding fruit-forward whites!

Ex Nihilo’s journey truly began "out of nothing," inspired by Fredrick Hart’s sculpture depicting the creation of mankind. With each vintage, we pour our passion into nurturing the land, embracing the cold winter and basking in the warmth of the Okanagan sun, crafting wines that capture this magical process. Founded by two visionary families and now led by Mike and Janet Azhadi since 2018, Ex Nihilo continues to create extraordinary wines that reflect both the unique terroir and the dedication of our team. The Azhadi family, spanning four generations in the Okanagan Valley, cherishes bringing people together to share in the joy of Ex Nihilo, while giving back to the community in Lake Country. "Out of nothing" comes something beautiful—our wine, and the people behind it. Enjoy 4-5 complimentary wine tastings with time to shop for your favorite wine!

Arrowleaf is a family-owned winery founded by the Zuppiger family in 2001. Originally from Switzerland, the family moved to Canada in 1986, farming dairy in Alberta before settling in the Okanagan. After growing grapes for five years, their eldest son Manuel trained in winemaking, gaining experience in Australia and the Okanagan. Arrowleaf Cellars opened in 2003, starting with just six wines and 3,500 cases. Today, they produce over a dozen wines annually, thanks to their 16-acre estate and 30 more acres nearby. The stunning Tasting Room, designed by architect Robert Mackenzie, has been welcoming guests since 2014. Enjoy 4-5 complimentary wine tastings and shop for your favorite wine!
