Soaring Eagle Winery

Paradise Ranch Wines Corp. recently announces the acquisition of Soaring Eagle Winery along with its 30 acre waterfront vineyard property in Penticton, BC. Soaring Eagle is a spectacular view property uniquely positioned on the Naramata bench overlooking Okanagan Lake. The property fronts on Naramata Road, along one of the most popular wine tour routes in the Okanagan Valley.

The Soaring Eagle property uniquely spans from Naramata Road to the Okanagan lakeshore, where it is fronted by a long stretch of private access beach. "This exciting acquisition will prove to be a great fit with our existing winery operations," declared James Stewart, long time President & CEO of Paradise Ranch. "The additional winery facilities and vineyard will enable us to dramatically expand our current portfolio of award-winning dessert wines to include an exceptional array of table wines and will provide us with a retail wine shop location from which to expand our retail sales base. That there is a residence and 2 guest cottages also on the property open the doors to some interesting opportunities"

Paradise Ranch is in the process of merging its current operations with the operations of Soaring Eagle. The combined entity will produce and sell wine products under the "Paradise Ranch", "Whistler" and "Soaring Eagle" brand names as well as new brands that will be developed. Paradise Ranch is in the process of bottling an exciting inventory of Soaring Eagle wines which will be released in late August 2011 as its "Intermission Series". The Intermission Series will be available at the Wine shop located on the Soaring Eagle Winery site on Naramata Road, and through VQA shops and private retailers
