Sumac Ridge Estate Winery

Cheers to the memories we've made and the ones we'll make in the future! 🍷💕

We are saddened to announce the closure of Sumac Ridge Winery. Our legacy will live on as Sumac Ridge, Steller’s Jay and Black Sage wines will continue to be sold at liquor stores across Western Canada and online through the Great Estates Okanagan website (link in bio).

Since opening our doors in 1980, we have been an important hub for the BC wine industry, with a legacy that includes many industry firsts. Here are a few of our favourite accomplishments from over the last 4 decades.

We were:
🍷 BC's first estate winery
🍷 The first to develop a commercially successful Okanagan sparkling wine
🍷 Canada's first winery to begin using Meritage on our Bordeaux blends
🍷 Okanagan's first winery to release a $50 bottle of wine

We extend our gratitude to the hundreds of industry professionals, visitors, customers, and employees who have made Sumac Ridge so iconic for the last 42 years.

We would love it if you shared your favourite memory or story about Sumac Ridge in the comments below 👇

Let us raise a glass to the legacy of Sumac Ridge 🍷

Cheers to the women who enjoy Sumac Ridge! 🍷

Sipping on some of the finest wines from Sumac Ridge Winery - the Gewurztraminer and Merlot are truly a match made in heaven and a match any wine drinker will enjoy! 🍷

Raise a glass to the timeless duo - Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 🍷

Their perfect balance of boldness and smoothness makes for a must-try blend. Cabernet Sauvignon brings bold tannins and dark fruit flavours, while Merlot contributes a smooth, fruit-forward character. Together, they create a balanced and complex taste profile - next time you're in the mood for a full-bodied red, give Cabernet Merlot a try. You won't be disappointed 🍷

From crisp and refreshing to rich and buttery, white wine has something for everyone. No wonder it's a crowd-pleaser! 🥰 Here are a few reasons why we at Sumac think white wine has become so popular:

1. Versatility - white wine can be paired with a wide range of dishes, from light salads to rich seafood and poultry.
2. Refreshing flavours - white wine is known for its crisp and clean taste, making it a perfect choice for warm summer days - but satisfying during colder months as well.
3. Food-friendly - white wine is often described as "food-friendly" because it has the ability to complement rather than overpower the flavours of a dish.
4. Health benefits - some studies suggest that consuming white wine moderately may have positive health effects, such as reducing the risk of heart disease.

Whether you prefer a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a floral Gewürz, there's no denying the popularity and versatility of white wine. Raise a glass and enjoy! 🍷

Wine and dine with intention - the perfect pairing elevates both the meal and the wine to new heights 🍷🍴 Follow these three simple rules for a harmonious dining experience

1. Match the body of the wine with the weight of the dish - light wines for light dishes, heavier wines for heavier dishes.

2. Pair the flavours of the wine and food - consider complementary or contrasting flavours, acidity levels, and tannins.

3. Consider the sauce or seasoning - the sauce can greatly impact the flavours of the dish, so choose a wine that complements the sauce rather than overpowering it. With these three rules in mind, you'll be sure to impress your guests and enhance your dining experience.

Cheers! 🍷
