At an elevation of 1200 feet above these crystalline waters, you will find a new frontier for world-class Chardonnay and Merlot. Discover CheckMate Artisanal Winery, a modern feat of nature and architecture designed by Tom Kundig, welcoming guests year-round.

Our Estate Vineyards
At the extremes of grape-growing of the 49th parallel in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, we meticulously select fruit from our over 50 year old vineyards, based on their pedigree of consistently producing compelling wines. Each season, we vinify and then blend the strongest components to bring the landscape into the bottle.
