Like a fine wine, Portage Mutual Insurance gets better with age.
The Location
OCP is located on the west side of Lake Okanagan in the quaint town of Summerland. With its great restaurants, wineries, wide variety of outdoor activities, and seemingly endless beaches, Summerland will quickly become one of your favourite corners in Canada. The near desert conditions, scorching summers, freezing winters, a latitude of 49 – 50 ° north, and vineyards located on some of the oldest rock formations in the world all contribute to a terroir that is unlike any other.
The Concept
Setting up a new a winery is a daunting and debt-inducing undertaking. At its simplest, a crush pad allows farmers to produce their own wines without having to incur the significant costs associated with building and owning a winery. Established in 2011, the goal of OCP is to“ provide assistance every step of the way from the field to marketplace.” The first of its kind in the Okanagan, OCP provides a range of services, from vineyard advice to branding and marketing support. The experts at OCP can do it all!
