Earlier this fall, two of our own got engaged at the winery! Congratulations to Brooke, who works in our tasting room, and Kyle, who helped with crush and looks after our landscaping. It took a while to get them to slow down long enough to get this photo so that we could officially congratulate them. We are so happy for them and so glad they are part of our Fort Berens team and family.

Our Festive Red Sale is coming. Watch for it here starting Thursday.

We're excited to be a part of a drink seminar called Chardcore on November 7th during Whistler Cornucopia. During this seminar, Christine Campbell of Girls Go Grape will take you through a guided tasting of a selection of BC's Chardonnays, including our White Gold, which is our Reserve Chardonnay. This wine won a Gold Medal and received 92 points at the 2019 National Wine Awards of Canada, and won a Gold Medal at the 2019 Pacific Rim Wine Competition. In addition to our White Gold, you'll have the opportunity to taste 9 other delicious Chardonnays.

With November just around the corner, it's almost time for Whistler Cornucopia. Things will look different this year, but there will still be educational and delicious seminars and dinners that are also safe. One of the events we are excited to be a part of is the November 15th seminar with Kurtis Kolt called BC Pinot Gris: A Mirror of Terroir. You'll have the opportunity to taste our Lillooet Pinot Gris, as well as a selection of Pinot Gris wines from other areas in BC to learn about how the terroir reflects regional characteristics in the taste of the wine.

Last night we had our first frost of the season, and then today our first snowfall. It looks lovely in the vineyard with a kiss of snow. We are almost finished picking all of the grapes, thankfully. #BCHarvest2020 #bcharvest #harvest2020 #lillooetvqa #lillooetgrown

Lovely fall day in the vineyard. Snow is slowly coming down the mountain side.
