About Burrowing Owl Estate Winery
Why it stands out
Burrowing Owl Estate Winery is one of the South Okanagan's landmark estate wineries, located off Black Sage Road near Oliver. The winery produced its first vintage in 1997 and has grown around a commitment to premium wines, environmental care, and a dramatic vineyard setting.
