The tasting bar was constructed from reclaimed ornately carved wooden columns and a bar top made from a solid timber beam found behind an old barn and re-finished was constructed. In 2011, the wine shop was finished in a quaint, cozy style featuring some antique stained glass panels taken from an old building in downtown Vancouver. Over a few glasses of wine, we came up with the name of Hidden Chapel Winery. In 2009 we obtained our official wine license to produce wine and the fun began. Over the next few years, the 1000 square foot cellar mimicking the European stone underground caves for aging wine in a natural environment, & the winery building housing the manufacturing area & future tasting room were constructed. The vineyard of cabernet sauvignon grapes was planted in spring 2006. It’s attributes included a gorgeous setting overlooking neighbouring vineyards, beautiful gardens & a little chapel nestled amongst the pine trees at the back of the property. The story began in 2005 when the property was purchased. We believe our wines are blessed by the Hidden Chapel…tasting is believing! Come visit our cheery tasting room, view the underground cellar & experience the Hidden Chapel nestled in the pines surrounded by beautiful gardens. It is then ripened by the hot Okanagan sun and finally aged in our unique underground cellar, which is overlooked by the Hidden Chapel. A combination of soil, sun, vine & man, our wine begins with its roots deep within the sandy loam of the northern tip of the Great-Basin Desert. We believe great wine is an expression of the area it comes from…it’s grown, not made.
