About the Winery.
VOLCANIC HILLS ESTATE WINERY - Website 
Wine-making Philosophy
We believe in making wine with minimal interference and low impact techniques, to show case varietal characteristics, through our sustainable grape growing practices. It is also very creative when it comes to making “very unique and unusual blends”.
“Our focus is to produce distinctive, fruit forward wines by utilizing premium grapes” says proprietor Bobby Gidda. All our wines have the BC VQA Mark of Quality, so you are guaranteed the wine has been produced from 100% BC grown grapes. The vineyards are located on volcanic soils which impart a distinct minerality to our wines.
Origin of the Name
The new 15,000 square foot winery is situated on the south-eastern slope of a 60 million year old dormant stratovolcano, Boucherie Mountain, which inspired the name Volcanic Hills. Continuing with volcano-lingo is our medium bodied red blend called Magma, and Eruption. The names were spawned with help from customers filling out an in-house ballot.
The Bistro
At the Blu Saffron Bistro, Chef Colin Rayner will be offering lunch and dinner either in the restaurant or on the large patio with breath taking lake and vine views. With daily changing features to make the most of what is on offer, all paired with one of Volcanic Hills award winning wines.
