Our History
Over the last decade, the Okanagan Valley has emerged as North America's newest premium winegrowing region. This area of British Columbia is a unique and beautiful wine region featuring a diversity of vines that thrive in various microclimates, providing winemakers a multitude of options to express their creative talents and technical experience. The Okanagan Valley falls in the northern hemisphere's wine-growing belt and shares the same latitude as northern German and French vineyards. While the term "cool-climate" is used to encapsulate the wine region, unique microclimates exist throughout the Valley. The northern tip of the Okanagan Valley is at 50°N, and the southern tip is at 49°.
Today in the Okanagan, there are vineyards equalling 7640 acres (3092 hectares). Fifty percent of total production is white grape varieties, and the other half is red varieties. As a comparison, Bordeaux, France has 284,000 acres (114,930 hectares) of vineyards and Napa Valley, California has 35,000 acres (14,164 hectares). The province of British Columbia is home to approximately 174 wineries, and there are four distinct wine regions in British Columbia: the Okanagan Valley, Similkameen Valley, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. The Okanagan Valley accounts for 95 percent of total production.
The Importance of Vineyard Ownership
The essence of Mt. Boucherie Family Estate Winery's commitment is quality control. From the vine to the bottle, our team takes care of every detail, every choice, every grape and every drop of wine. Our consistency comes from the ability to oversee all the decisions - from planting and growing the fruit, irrigation and pruning, harvesting, winemaking and bottling. This commitment to the vineyards, the fruit, the winery and the customer on every level provides the extra "TLC" that we believe can be tasted in the end product.
