Valley of the Springs
Valley of the Springs Winery is owned and operated by the Scott family and is located on a ridge with breathtaking panoramic views of Nakusp and the Arrow Lakes Valley of British Columbia, in an area renowned for its natural and developed hot springs.
Pioneering commercial grape growing in the Arrow Lakes Valley, proprietors Jody and Brenda Scott added grape vines to the property as a landscaping idea. That landscaping idea sparked a movement that would see the establishment of the Arrow Lakes Grape Growers Society.
Data collected from test plots and data loggers proved that the area is very well suited for growing niche crops like grapes. Turns out that the Arrow Lakes Valley’s hot summer days and cool crisp nights create a unique terroir and an ideal climate to produce grapes for delicious and aromatic handcrafted wines.
Valley of the Springs is the only winery in the Arrow Lakes Valley. Estate-grown grapes as well as other locally-grown grapes are used in their wines. The grapes are grown with organic farming practices and are herbicide-free.
In addition to the vineyard’s normal releases which include their two-time gold medal winning white blend called Vista, they have a 2022 Kerner waiting to be released in April and is sure to be a hit with customers. Valley of the Springs looks forward to continuing their tradition of hosting many live music events at the winery, taking part in the long-time tradition of celebrating the summer months with fellow community members. Stay tuned for the upcoming schedule on their website.
Brenda and the team love to be an active part of a movement to re-establish Arrow Lake’s vibrant farming heritage.
“We have a love of this land, community and valley,” says Brenda. “Honouring the farmers of the past, Valley of the Springs Winery is committed to bringing customers an experience that affirms our field-to-glass vision.”
Valley of the Springs Winery and tasting room are open to the public May-October, Wednesday to Sunday, 11am – 4pm
