Hester Creek Estate Winery

Why it stands out

Hester Creek Estate Winery is one of the anchor properties of the Golden Mile Bench near Oliver. Its vineyard history reaches back to 1968, when Joe Busnardo planted classic European vinifera on the property, creating one of the South Okanagan's most established wine sites.

What to expect on a visit

The estate combines old vines, panoramic vineyard views, a modern tasting room, Terrafina restaurant, and The Villa accommodations. Hester Creek's current experience is designed around a Tuscan-inspired sense of place, with wines that connect back to its historic vineyard blocks.

Tour planning notes

Hester Creek is a strong premium stop for Oliver and Golden Mile Bench routes. It is especially useful when guests want a complete estate experience with wine, food, scenery, and a deeper vineyard story rather than a quick tasting only.
