About CedarCreek Estate Winery

CedarCreek celebrates 25 years this year! Purchased in 1986, CedarCreek released its first wines in 1987 and was one of the first 7 pioneering wineries of the Okanagan Valley. For 25 years now we have pursued perfection and produced some of the valley’s best wines resulting in CedarCreek being twice recognized as “Canada’s Winery of the Year”. Today, we look proudly towards the future to further promote our region.

At CedarCreek the hybrid grapes gave way to new plantings of vinifera vines, the small basement cellar was transformed into state of the art winemaking facilities and the very best in viticulture was applied.  This pioneering was tempered by patience and perseverance which became Senator Ross Fitzpatrick’s mantra. These ideals matured into CedarCreek’s philosophy:  “Respect the land, honour tradition, pursue perfection.”

Today under his son Gordon’s leadership, CedarCreek has raised the bar. Our family’s knowledge of the terrior of the Okanagan and dedication to the craft have brought many awards and international acclaim, including twice being named Canada’s Winery of the Year. We are committed to building on our success by continuing to refine our approach to wine growing. Passion, tenacity, care and hard work are vital but above all we seek truth in wine. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.

Awards/Press

Wine Access Magazine has recognized CedarCreek Estate Winery as Canada’s WINERY OF THE YEAR in 2002 and 2005, as well as runner up in 2008.
