Established over 50 years ago in Oliver, Covert Farms Family Estates is the definition of sustainable and organic. We are proud to say that they are also Certified Salmon Safe. Making your life from the land means one has to respect that land and it’s inhabitants. With a Salmon bearing river passing through their property, Covert Farms Family Estates takes, very seriously, the need to respect that habitat while maintaining their farm and vineyards. With over 650 acres, this is no mean feat to accomplish, but accomplish it they did.

Partnering with Covert Farms Family Estates means you are supporting their sustainable, and environmentally friendly endeavours.

For restaurants who are supportive of the Ocean Wise Initiative, it means your awareness does not stop with the seafood you serve, but also extends to your wine list. Supporting a Certified Salmon Safe Vineyard gives you the opportunity to create wine and meal pairings on your menu that validate those values, and offers your customers the chance to have the best of both worlds that BC has to offer.

Stores,whose customers are conscientious about what they are drinking can rest assured that by offering Covert Farms Family Estate wines, they are giving their customers wines that are Organic, Salmon Safe, Vegan friendly, and taste great! We are proud to partner with Covert Farms Family Estate to represent their Award Winning wines!

Wine Description

These grapes were grown on Secrest Vineyard, an amazing 35-acre cool mountain site above the town of Oliver. In keeping with our tradition of less is more, the wine was handled at a minimum, gently aged in old French oak barrels and bottled in its pure state.
Loaded with bright cherry aromas and flavours, with soft texture and light tannins, the wine is best enjoyed with tomato-based dishes, salmon, soft ripe cheese, or pork.
