About Moon Curser Vineyards
Why it stands out
Moon Curser Vineyards is an Osoyoos winery with one of the region's most memorable brand stories. Its name refers to gold-rush smugglers who crossed the border by night and cursed the moonlight when it exposed them, while the wines lean into uncommon varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Carmenere, Tempranillo, and Tannat.
What to expect on a visit
The winery sits on the Osoyoos East Bench, close to the US border, with views toward vineyard land and Osoyoos Lake. Tastings typically showcase a cross-section of the portfolio, including whites, roses, reds, and the distinctive old-world varieties that helped Moon Curser stand apart.
Tour planning notes
Moon Curser is a strong Osoyoos route stop for adventurous wine drinkers and guests who want a story they will remember. It is especially useful when the itinerary needs something different from the usual Merlot, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay sequence.
