Nestled in the very heart of wine country in the Okanagan valley, Hainle Winery is located moments
South of Mission Hills and Quails Gate; and 5 minutes North of Greata Ranch. Only 355 km (220 miles)
from Vancouver,
Hainle is one of Canada's founding wineries, and boasts a wide variety of award-winning
organic wines.
The winery dates back to 1988 with the real story beginning in 1972, when the winery's original founder,
Walter Hainle, produced North America's first icewine.
This historic property was acquired in 2017 by Bella Huang, a Chinese-born entrepreneur who is a hands-on winery operator. Since then, the Peachland winery has replanted its vineyard and fully renovated the winery, installing new tanks, barrels and winemaking technology. Consulting winemaker Anthony Buchanan was engaged to make the vintages relaunching the brand. Subsequently, he hired Scott Ingram as Hainle’s resident winemaker.
The winery has continued to make organic wines, and production is soaring thanks to 47
hectares (115 acres)
of vineyard planted in the south Okanagan region. Signature wines include Gewürztraminer,
Pinot Noir, and the
popular Zweigelt. Deep Creek has a number of Wines under the Z label using Zweigelt
The winery boasts several other attractions to visitors, including The Vineyard
Restaurant and The Producer's Cookery
