About the winery

Well known for its fruit and berry farms for more than a century, the picturesque Creston Valley now boasts its own winery and vineyard – Skimmerhorn. We’re a small, family-operated winery located in the Kootenays where we enjoy a unique climate perfectly suited to the production of the cool-climate wines in which Skimmerhorn specializes.
