In 1968, BC wine pioneer Joe Busnardo came upon an excellent property sheltered below the rugged desert bluffs of what is now known as the Golden Mile Bench. Spread over 76 acres of a gently sloping hillside, he recognized the potential for growing superior vinifera grapes on this unique land. Today, a total of 115 acres comprise the Hester Creek estate, which is planted with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Italian Merlot, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Sémillon, Syrah, and Trebbiano on 22 vineyard blocks. Each block is farmed sustainably, harvested, and vinified individually to preserve and enhance the nuances of the land.
