Frind Estate Winery

Frind Estate Winery, located at 3725 Boucherie Road in West Kelowna, BC, is a singular marriage of history and nature with superior wines. Nestled amidst the beautiful landscape of West Kelowna, this winery has its vineyards on land that once belonged to former BC Premier Bill Bennett and his family. Deeply connected to this spot is a rich legacy due to the valley’s linkage to both the political and wine history of the province. His father, W.A.C. Bennett was the longest-serving Premier of BC and had a significant contribution to make to the Okanagan’s first winery, Calona Wines. Frind Estate Winery stands today as testimony to both the land’s storied past and promising future in the world of wines.

It won’t be wrong to say the Frind Estate Winery crafts every bottle with the aim of leaving a unique saying, rather than just one more great taste. If the iconic gold pine cone creates a symbol in marrying both science and the wine of the god Bacchus into striking Ponderosa pines – insomuch as driving and inspiring the estates – there seems justification in doing it. This fact somehow strikes a chord, as does the Fibonacci pattern in each pinecone-which echoes in the city logo-to inspire Markus Frind in the creation process. Math wizz and founder of the outfit, Markus has been working in tandem. Each bottle is a piece of history, a tribute to the land that nurtures it through this unique interplay of nature, science, and art. From full-bodied red to refreshing whites, each sip speaks volumes of tradition, innovation, and a wee bit of mathematical magic.

A visit to Frind Estate Winery is something more than a wine tasting; it’s a travel in time. Set amidst breathtaking views, the winery calls one to its relaxing atmosphere and promises a good time over its wines, with insight into the history that goes along with every wine. The beautiful Ponderosa Pines surrounding this estate offer a peaceful natural setting that makes every visit feel like an escape. With the winery committed to blending tradition with modern techniques, a visit to Frind Estate Winery will surely be one of those experiences that invites you to sip a rich history, enjoy the beauty of nature, and find magic in every bottle.
