“In the past 5 years, we have gone from 5,000 cases to 10,000 cases and we found ourselves at a tipping point where we had momentum with sell-out wines each year and yet lacked the resources and energy to leap to the next level,” states a release from the winery.

The couple will remain active in the operations of the boutique winery.

“We are proud to welcome them into our family of Okanagan wineries and look forward to working together into the future,” said Arterra Wines president and CEO Jay Wright.
