Skimmerhorn Winery & Vineyard

About

Well known for its fruit and berry farms for more than a century, the picturesque Creston Valley now boasts its own winery and vineyard – Skimmerhorn. We’re a small, family-operated winery located in the Kootenays where we enjoy a unique climate perfectly suited to the production of the cool-climate wines in which Skimmerhorn specializes. Our varietal range includes Pinot Gris, Ortega, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir and Marechal Foch. Each of our wines offers a powerful expression of our vineyard’s terroir. Whatever your taste, Skimmerhorn’s great wines and unique atmosphere provide an unparalleled experience!
