At Thornhaven we handcraft the finest quality of wines
Established in 1999, Thornhaven’s southwestern Santa Fe style reflects the natural landscape of the semi-arid Okanagan climate, where dry grasses, cacti, sagebrush and Ponderosa pine thrive. Perfectly designed for wine making, the winery’s unique structure allows gravity to transport the fruit juice from the crush-pad to the cellar, eliminating the effects of pumping.
Our Process
Stainless steel tanks, French and American Oak barrels are used to create our distinctive handcrafted red and white wines. Our Cellar Master, Jason Fraser, and wine making consultant, Christine Leroux, together create some of the finest award-winning wines around.
Every aspect of the wine creation is overseen by the Fraser family, from the delicate art of the growing stages right through to the final stages of the finished product.
Great care is taken at our winery to ensure we only handcraft the finest wines. They are produced from six diverse vineyards located around Giant’s Head Mountain. Together, our 18 estate acres and 16 purchased acres produce our distinctive wine list.
Our wines include plantings of: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Merlot, Gamay, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and the rare Orange Muscat.
