About Sandhill Wines
Why it stands out
Sandhill Wines is a downtown Kelowna wine destination with roots tied to one of British Columbia's oldest winery sites. Established as Sandhill in 1997, the estate was once home to Calona Wines, founded in 1932 and recognized as BC's original and oldest continuing winery.
What to expect on a visit
Guests can expect an urban tasting experience in the heart of Kelowna, with approachable BC VQA wines and a Small Lots program focused on distinctive single-vineyard batches. Sandhill sources grapes from six select vineyards across the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys, giving the portfolio broad regional reach from a downtown base.
Tour planning notes
Sandhill is useful when guests want a Kelowna wine stop without driving into a rural vineyard area. It is a practical option for downtown visitors, pre-dinner tastings, or groups who want a convenient urban tasting room with a long BC wine history behind it.
