When traveling through the scenic Salmon Valley, between Salmon Arm and Vernon, you will find OVINO vineyards and winery perched on a bench well above the valley bottom. This glacier carved landscape offers mostly sandy and sandy loam soils, marbled with infrequent layers of clay. The vines are located on a sun drenched knoll to maximize photosynthesis and air flow, supported by a drip irrigation system.
Varieties grown in the small Ovino vineyard are Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier and Gewurztraminer as well as cold hardy, disease resistant hybrid grapes with beautiful fruity flavors and aromas, including Traminette,Petit Milo and L’Acadie for white wine plus Foch and Regent for red wine
