It ’ s Coming !
A village for wine lovers in the South Okanagan
British Columbia , Canada
It was a grand idea that started over a glass of wine between two friends , Max Brock and Matt Kenyon . A village of an idea . Literally . Max and Matt took their love for wine and wine touring and created the concept of the District Wine Village in the South Okanagan . It was to be a place not only for wine lovers but for those who had something to celebrate as well . Sadly , Max was not to see his idea become a reality . He passed away before the ground breaking . But like they say : The show must go on and so must also the culmination of the construction of this village , which is now being built in honor of Max and his family .
The concept of the village is quite simple . Create a single destination where one can go for a culinary experience , entertainment , wine tasting and education , all easily accessible and with ample parking . District Wine Village will encompass several buildings , each housing a very important part of wine making and an amphitheater for concerts and events for about 600 persons . The buildings will be used for fermentation and production , temperature controlled barrel storage and tastings amongst others . The village is meant to produce and showcase the individual craft of each winery or artisan producer , whether it ’ s a distillery or a brewery .
The District Wine Village is the first of its kind in Canada . Born from the minds of two friends and brought to life by the visionaries at Greyback Construction , this wine village will bring producers of small batch wine , beer , cider and spirit together alongside unique events and creative culinary offerings all in one South Okanagan destination .
This gateway to Canada ’ s Wine Capital , located on the North end of Oliver , BC , will give guests a truly distinctive taste of the Okanagan by pairing artisan producers with culinary sensations and events .
