Thornhaven Estates Winery

Why it stands out

Thornhaven Estates Winery is a family-run Summerland winery established in 1999 on the slopes of Little Giant's Head Mountain. The Fraser family oversees the winery, vineyards, and winemaking, with a gravity-fed winery design and broad plantings across several Summerland vineyard sites.

What to expect on a visit

Guests can expect an intimate winery with a courtyard patio, views over Summerland, Okanagan Lake, orchards, and surrounding mountains. The winery produces a wide range of varieties, including Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Syrah, and Orange Muscat.

Tour planning notes

Thornhaven is a strong Summerland stop for guests who like smaller family wineries, scenic patios, and a broad tasting lineup. It works well on Bottleneck Drive routes where the day should include approachable hospitality and a view without becoming too formal.
