Description
Desert landscapes blend with sun-drenched reds and full-bodied whites as we tour the iconic South Okanagan wine region. Explore the Golden Mile and Black Sage terroirs, revel in stunning architectural and artistic designs and relish the culinary delights that highlight this world-renowned wine region. A must for any discerning wine lover.
Cassini Cellars believe each bottle of wine should communicate something distinct and unique about the region it comes from. This dedication to craft and subtlety has quickly made their wines some of the most celebrated on the Golden Mile Bench - the finest grape-growing region in Canada, nestled in the Okanagan Valley.
Over fifty years ago, BC wine pioneer Joe Busnardo recognized the potential for growing vinifera grapes on a site reminiscent of the Italian hillsides of his youth. Many of those original plantings have thrived since current owner Curt Garland’s stewardship investments have been made on this storied site in the vineyards and extensive new facilities to produce wines of renown from these renowned vineyards.
The story began in 2005 when the property was purchased. Its attributes included a gorgeous setting overlooking neighbouring vineyards, beautiful gardens & a little chapel nestled amongst the pine trees at the back of the property. The vineyard of cabernet sauvignon grapes was planted in the spring of 2006. Over the next few years, the 1000 square foot cellar mimicking the European stone underground caves for aging wine in a natural environment & the winery building housing the manufacturing area & future tasting room were constructed.
In 2009 they obtained their license to produce wine, and the fun began. Over a few glasses of wine, they came up with the name Hidden Chapel Winery. In 2011, the wine shop was finished in a quaint, cozy style featuring some antique stained glass panels taken from an old building in downtown Vancouver.
The tasting bar was constructed from reclaimed ornately carved wooden columns and a bar top made from a solid timber beam found behind an old barn and re-finished.
Phantom Creek Estates is home to estate vineyards across two distinct benches in the Okanagan Valley. Uniquely influenced by geological forces millennia in the making, today, these acclaimed, historic vineyards are each farmed according to meticulous organic and biodynamic techniques. Established in 1996 by pioneering viticulturist Richard Cleave, Phantom Creek Vineyard is consistently recognized for producing some of the best red wines in Canada.

This tour was wonderful. Our tour guides, AJ and company were friendly, welcoming and took the time to explain different points of interest along the way. They took us to five great wineries and to lunch at Tinhorn Creek, where we got to know them better. For sure a 5-star tour and we will be doing it again soon! Thank you! Dave and Judy Lura.
