Howling Bluff Estate Winery

The Honourable Steven L. Point, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and Her Honour, Mrs. Gwendolyn Point announcing the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Excellence to Howling Bluff's 2006 Pinot Noir.

A true estate winery on the famous Naramata Bench.

Howling Bluff Estate Winery is the culmination of a 20-year dream to make exceptional wines through a combination of hard work, extensive research, a passion for wines and a dedication to growing spectacular grapes.

Great wine comes from great grapes and great grapes come from vines that have been carefully tended. In 2004 we planted our first vines at our Summa Quies vineyard. The Summa Quies vineyard is now a contiguous 20 acres surrounding our winery on the Naramata Bench. Our first harvest was September 2006, following a spectacular summer growing season.

Our focus has always been to produce super quality ultra-premium wines. Therefore we are committed to using only our own estate-grown grapes, state of the art winery equipment and only premium oak combined with a no compromise attitude towards quality to make our select wines, which are available in limited quantities. Howling Bluff makes only three wines; an estate Sauvignon Blanc using our own Semillon for blending, an estate Pinot Noir and Sin Cera an estate blend made from our own Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc grapes.

Luke Smith, Proprietor.
