In Spring 2019, Terravista Vineyards was handed over to locals, Eric and Dallas Thor. Bob and Senka had been easing into retirement, consulting for the Thors and advising and mentoring newly appointed Wine Maker, Nadine Allander, formerly of Time/Evolve and Poplar Grove Wineries.
Together our new team produced our first award winning vintage in Spring 2020 and our third vintage is being released May 2022.
Our Approach
Our home vineyards are in the Sub GI Area known as the Naramata Bench with over 50 wineries in the area as our neighbours.
Our Estate Vineyard, Lone Hand Ranch, is the home to the wine we call “FANDANGO”. Spanish varietals, Albariño and Verdejo, typically grown in northwestern Spain and Portugal, were planted here in 2008. The southwestern slope of till sediments and stony soils of this vineyard above Naramata Road are optimal conditions for these aromatic whites with crisp acidity.
Get to Know Us
At the heart of Terravista Vineyards is the desire to be outside, make and share great wine with friends and have fun! We are interested in simplifying viticulture practices and reducing our footprint. One might call it sustainable practices, but we are learning from our vineyards and our land about what stewardship and sustainability means. We are adding alternative energy sources to our homes, reducing consumption and reducing interventions in the vineyards as much as possible. What does this translate into: 4 Solar Arrays installed at En Terre Vineyards, Electric utility vehicles when possible, manual canopy management, manual hedging and weeding, livestock integration, reducing pesticides and herbicides.
