Summerhill is committed to producing 100% organic wine. Our Kelowna vineyard entered the certification program in 1988, and has received Demeter Biodynamic certification in 2012. In addition, our winemaking is also certified organic, allowing us to display the Canadian certified organic logo on our bottles, ensuring you can expect a high level of quality and purity.
Nature Leads, We Listen
Biodiversity plays a key role in organic farming. Since we don’t use any synthetics in our vineyards, we must encourage nature to fill ecological niches and maintain balance. By allowing flowering plants to grow between the rows, we provide a home for beneficial insects such as ladybugs and praying mantises. The natural flora also help to improve our soil life and water retention, important elements to growing quality grapes!
Our home vineyard is 17 hectares and the only Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard in British Columbia. Natural springs emerge on the property, and join with creeks to create a beautiful wetland nature sanctuary that supports a variety of species.
Cosmic Forces, Captured in a Bottle
Twenty years of blind tastings confirm what ancient wisdom suggested: sacred geometry transforms liquid. Our precision-built pyramid, aligned with the stars and constructed without ferrous metals, creates a chamber where wine achieves its highest expression. Science meets spirituality in every bottle, creating something that conventional aging cannot replicate.
