Tinhorn Creek Vineyards, established in 1993, is a premier winery located in Oliver, British Columbia, within the renowned Golden Mile Bench sub-appellation of the Okanagan Valley. Spanning 150 acres across two distinct vineyard sites—the Black Sage Bench and the Golden Mile Bench—the winery produces estate-grown wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The vineyards benefit from a microclimate characterized by gentle morning sun and afternoon shade provided by Mount Kobau, along with complex, gravelly soils, resulting in structured, mineral-driven wines that balance ripe fruit with fresh acidity.
As a family-owned and operated winery, Tinhorn Creek is committed to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. Notably, it was the first winery in Canada to be certified as carbon neutral, demonstrating its dedication to reducing its ecological footprint.
The winery offers a range of experiences for visitors, including wine tastings, private tours, and events. Guests can enjoy panoramic views of the vineyards and surrounding landscape from the tasting room and the award-winning Miradoro Restaurant, which serves Italian-inspired cuisine. Additionally, the Golden Mile Trail provides a scenic hiking route through the vineyards, offering insights into the area’s history and natural beauty.
Tinhorn Creek Vineyards continues to be a significant contributor to British Columbia’s wine industry, producing wines that are celebrated for their quality and expression of the South Okanagan’s distinctive terroir.
