2010 Olympics – Day 7

They only make three wines – and at the moment they only have one available – but this quaint little winery, with an interesting name, has an inn with spectacular views so that is why Howling Bluff Estate Wines is our winery of the day for day seven of the 2010 Olympics.

Of their three wines – Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and a red blend – only the Sin Cera (red blend) is currently available. However, when they have all three lining their shelves these are some pretty spectacular, award winning wines to be tried. The Inn at Howling Bluff is set among the vineyards which are home to their Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes. As you look down the hill, you are greeted with an amazing view of Okanagan Lake and there are several wineries nearby to choose from.

Tasting Room and Inn open from April 30th – October 15th
