CedarCreek Estate Winery on Our Okanagan:

Purchased in 1986, CedarCreek released its first wines in 1987 and was one of the first 8 pioneering wineries of the Okanagan Valley. For 25 years now we have pursued perfection and produced some of the valley's best wines resulting in CedarCreek being twice recognized as "Canada's Winery of the Year". Today, we look proudly towards the future to further promote our region.

The story of CedarCreek is rooted in the vision of Senator Ross Fitzpatrick.  Born and raised in the Okanagan, he worked his way through university in the orchards and fruit packing houses that dotted this beautiful valley.  Although education and a business career led him away from the Okanagan, the dreams of what the fertile soil and climate of the valley could do were never washed from his soul.  Years later his success in business afforded him the opportunity to fulfill his boyhood dreams by acquiring an orchard and small vineyard near Kelowna.

At CedarCreek the hybrid grapes gave way to new plantings of vinifera vines, the small basement cellar was transformed into state of the art winemaking facilities and the very best in viticulture was applied.  This pioneering was tempered by patience and perseverance which became his mantra. These ideals matured into CedarCreek's philosophy:  "Respect the land, honour tradition, pursue perfection."

Today under his son Gordon’s leadership CedarCreek has raised the bar. Our family's knowledge of the terroir of the Okanagan and dedication to the craft have brought many awards and international acclaim, including twice being named Canada's Winery of the Year. We are committed to building on our success by continuing to refine our approach to wine growing.  Passion, tenacity, care and hard work are vital but above all we seek truth in wine.  And the results show in every bottle.  On that, you have our word.
