Tinhorn Creek Winery

Why it stands out

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is a South Okanagan estate rooted in more than 30 years of winemaking on the Golden Mile Bench. The winery was born from the Shaunessy and Oldfield families' shared dream and helped lead the drive to have the Golden Mile Bench recognized as British Columbia's first official sub-appellation in 2015.

What to expect on a visit

Guests can expect estate and reserve wines from vineyards on both the Golden Mile Bench and Black Sage Bench, a seated premium tasting experience, Golden Mile Trail access, guest house options, and a summer amphitheatre concert series framed by vineyard views. The 50-acre Tinhorn Creek Vineyard benefits from morning sun, Mount Kobau afternoon shade, and gravelly soils.

Tour planning notes

Tinhorn Creek is a strong Oliver and Golden Mile Bench anchor stop for guests who want a well-established winery with vineyard education, scenery, and optional events. It works well when the tour needs a polished South Okanagan destination with both serious wine and guest amenities.
