About the winery
Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards, situated between Peachland and Summerland, focuses on white wines as well as Traditional Method sparkling wine. Prior to becoming a vineyard, the estate was a prolific peach orchard. Based upon Senator Ross Fitzpatrick’s boyhood memories of visiting the property with his father and sampling the sweet peaches, he purchased the property in 1994 and restored its former agricultural splendor by establishing 40 acres of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Ehrenfelser, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Blanc vines.
