The GOODS from Meyer Family Vineyards

Okanagan Falls | On September 3rd Meyer Family Vineyards partners with Joy Road Catering for an interactive evening of terroir focused food and wine in the beautiful surroundings of their Okanagan Falls Vineyard. A dinner focused on Pinot Noir, this is a rare opportunity to taste Meyer Family Vineyards full portfolio of Pinot Noirs including their very exclusive “Old Block” and “Micro Cuvée”.

Meyer produced only 205 cases of the “Old Block” and 2014 is the first vintage of this very special single block/single vineyard Pinot Noir. The “Micro Cuvée” series is only produced in the best growing seasons, it represents the most harmonious blend of selected barrels from their McLean Creek Road Vineyard and they only produced 110 cases which has been released exclusively to their wine club, key customers and a select few restaurants.

This year, Meyer also released their first ever NV Méthode Traditionnelle sparkling wine. A sparkling reception will inaugurate this special evening of food, wine and live music with local talent Tavis Weir Trio.

There’s only 70 tickets available for this intimate harvest dinner, available online at MFVharvestdinner2016.eventbrite.ca.

About Meyer Family Vineyards

6917291771_190ab4dde2_b

Meyer Family Vineyards, the little winery with the big reputation, now has two vineyards in the beautiful wine regions of the Okanagan Valley of BC; Old Main Road Vineyard, located on the Naramata Bench and McLean Creek Vineyard, the newest vineyard and winery on McLean Creek Road in Okanagan Falls. Nestled amongst beautiful orchards, rolling hills, crystal clear lakes, and unique micro climate, the Okanagan Valley is now home to well over 100 vineyards and is the ideal terroir for growing grapes. The same latitude as Champagne in France, the Okanagan is well suited for the Burgundy style wines that Meyer Family Vineyards is known for.

The Meyer Family

JAK (John Arthur Kenneth) and his wife Janice Stevens, wanted a place to put down roots and raise their two young daughters. They had lived in Alberta, Vancouver, the Turks and Caicos but after almost a year in Vernon they found themselves attracted to the lifestyle, the beauty, and the opportunities of the Okanagan. After years of sampling the best wines in the world, both appreciating and collecting wine, a vineyard seemed like a good fit. Three years of searching for the perfect site, led them finally to a small acreage in Naramata. With the help of a team of leading experts in Canada, they began to craft their single vineyard wines of excellence; Micro Cuvée Chardonnay and Tribute Chardonnay.

Then in 2008 they added the Okanagan Falls property which included a modest 2400 sq ft winery and another 16 acres of vines. Everything was in place for producing premium single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as well as a second tier label which includes Gewurztraminer, Rose and mid tier Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The new tasting room was completed in October of 2010 and plans are in place for a special events area which will be used for hosting concerts, catered dinners or just as perfect place for guests to relax, kick back and enjoy the surroundings.

Liam Carrier, IconWines.com

“A beauty that takes Okanagan Chardonnay to a new level of elegance and complexity”
4 and a half stars, Vines Magazine

“On the palate, the fruit is lush – citrus, ripe apple, a touch of butterscotch – without any of the heaviness one sometimes finds on oaked Chardonnay. This wine is bright and fresh and also shows a laser-like purity. 92/100”
