A Journey to Excellence
Silkscarf Winery, a cherished family-run boutique in the scenic folds of Summerland, has been turning heads since its inception in 2004. Born from a passion to create outstanding wines, the winery has grown to encompass over 10 acres of prime vineyards. Here, a variety of grapes thrive — from Gewurztraminer and Viognier to the robust flavours of Cabernet-Sauvignon and Syrah. This diversity is underpinned by Summerland Bench’s class-1 terroir, known for its ability to foster both red and white varietals to their fullest expression.
The family's approach combines a profound respect for nature with innovative viticulture practices, ensuring each vineyard cycle contributes to sustainable farming. This deep connection to the land is palpable in every bottle, reflecting a commitment not just to winemaking, but to creating wines that are an honest reflection of the rich landscape of the Okanagan Valley.
