Great wines begin in the vineyard. At Sandhill Vineyards, we ensure our wines reflect the distinct character of the site where they’re grown. By selecting grapes from exceptional sites, we highlight the diverse terroirs of British Columbia, from the bold reds of the Similkameen to the vibrant, expressive whites of the Okanagan Valley.
Our vineyards each offer a distinct expression of place, shaped by their unique locations, soils, and microclimates across the South Okanagan and Similkameen valleys. Sandhill Estate Vineyard, near Oliver and framed by rocky cliffs, basks in intense sunshine and soaring summer heat. Here, low yields and careful farming practices produce small, concentrated fruit that delivers wines with exceptional depth, structure, and character. Meanwhile, Hidden Terrace Vineyard, perched on a secluded plateau north of Oliver and tucked behind McIntyre Bluff, enjoys sandy soils, cooler temperatures, and gentle eastward sun exposure—ideal conditions for growing refined, expressive fruit.
In the heart of the Similkameen, Vanessa Vineyard spans 75 acres of rolling hills, where rocky soils, steady winds, and excellent drainage contribute to bold, concentrated wines that capture the raw beauty of the valley. Each site is carefully tended to bring out the best of its terroir, from the elegance of Hidden Terrace, to the power of Vanessa, to the richness of Sandhill Estate. Together, these vineyards form the foundation of our small lot and white label portfolio.
Our Red wines are bold and structured with rich layers of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones, offering a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Crafted from the finest vineyard blocks, each bottle delivers a concentrated, full-bodied profile that’s both captivating and elegant. With minimal intervention in the winemaking process, these reds evolve beautifully with age, becoming even more refined over time.
