About Rust Wines
Why it stands out
Rust Wines is built around small-lot, single-vineyard wines drawn from distinctive Okanagan and Similkameen sites. Its home vineyard, South Rock on the Golden Mile Bench, traces its history back to early plantings from the late 1960s and 1970s, making it one of the more historically rooted sites in the region.
What to expect on a visit
The winery works with five vineyard sites across the Okanagan Valley, Similkameen Valley, Okanagan Falls, and Golden Mile Bench. Guests can expect a portfolio that highlights place, including South Rock, Lost Horn, Lazy River, and Summer Breeze vineyards, with wines shaped by rocky soils, warm days, cool nights, and carefully selected blocks.
Tour planning notes
Rust is a strong South Okanagan stop for guests who enjoy single-vineyard stories and comparing how different sites shape wine. It fits best into a route for wine-focused groups who want terroir and vineyard history rather than a large entertainment stop.
