okanagan crush pad

Okanagan Crush Pad is a winery based in Summerland, BC, known for its authentic wines and commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. The winery's signature varietals include Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc, which are grown on the 320-acre Garnet Valley Ranch vineyard site, certified organic and located at high elevations (1,968-2,230 feet) in the Okanagan Valley. The unique terroir of this site, with its varied volcanic and glacial soils, contributes to wines with lower alcohol levels, better acidity, and balance. Chief Winemaker Matt Dumayne employs a "less is more" philosophy, allowing the wines to express their natural characteristics and reflect their specific site and moment in time. The winery offers a range of wine experiences, including tastings at its modern tasting lounge, which features views of Okanagan Lake and Switchback Organic Vineyard. Visitors can relax year-round and enjoy the wine collection, with options for rewards programs, wine clubs, and online shopping. The Haywire Winery brand has been rebranded with a new look, while the Garnet Valley Ranch wines are released under the Free Form label, showcasing the winery's commitment to natural winemaking practices.
