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.

About Much & Little

Much&Little opened its doors in October 2011. It grew from a desire to create a personal shopping experience that offers timeless, beautiful, well-made goods for everyday use. Each item has been hand picked not just for aesthetics and function, but also for the story behind it that creates lasting value. Where was it made, how and by whom? As much as possible, we seek out products that have been created with love and care, with attention to detail and craft.

Though the shop is modest in size, the selection is wide and encompasses everything from housewares, to personal accessories, to women’s clothing. Our goods come from all over – including local, independent designers, heritage brands and fair trade artisans.

For you, we hope this translates into something of value. Where items are of heirloom quality and timeless appeal. Where a seemingly humble object will be something you love to pick up and use each day, and the patina of use just makes it better.

PRESS & ACCOLADES

BC Home & Garden: “Much&Little has one-of-kind pieces for just about everyone. It’s an in-store treasure hunt.”

Canadian House & Home: “Pretty housewares set a stylish scene at Much&Little”

Edible Vancouver: “We are much charmed by, and a little in love with, this small shop and its philosophy that focuses on items simply designed and built to last.”

Yelp: “Beautifully well-made items meticulously curated with a stylish eye.” “Great staff, and great selection in product.”

Thanks to an incredible response from the local service industry (and notably beyond), tickets to the May 19th fundraiser for Butter On The Endive chef Owen Lightly at Vancouver Urban Winery have now sold out. We’ve been told that no tickets will be issued at the door. Owen – a highly respected and well liked member of BC’s restaurant community – was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. All the funds raised at the event will help him and his partner Naomi in their fight against the disease.

NB. If you weren’t able to purchase a ticket in time it is still possible to donate.

About La Pentola

Adam Pegg & Lucais Syme of Vancouver’s award-winning La Quercia restaurant deliver artfully crafted, Northern Italian cuisine at La Pentola della Quercia inside OPUS Hotel Vancouver. Complementing the chef-duo, the city’s most passionate and experienced servers, each expertly trained in all aspects of the menu, skillfully present handmade pastas and “nose to tail” meat and fish dishes at this Vancouver hot-spot.

“La Pentola is inviting and warm. Ditto the service. The food is rustically elegant, a distillation of real Italy and the food is similar to their northern Italy-based La Quercia and La Ghianda offerings – they zero in on great ingredients and capture the Italian soul. Their pilgrimages and work experience in ‘Slow Food’ Italy is evident”. Mia Stainsby, The Vancouver Sun
