About Sonoran

The Sonoran Desert is a wide stretch of land that runs the length of North America from Mexico to British Columbia. Filled with a myriad of eco-systems, at its peak, the Sonoran provides the perfect conditions for grape growing in the Okanagan. Hot, dry summer days and cool evening breezes make this, the only Canadian desert valley, a unique and beautiful home for some of North America's best wines. Arjan, Ada and Adrian moved to Ontario, Canada in 1982 from Holland. After 7 years, they visited BC and they purchased property in the Lower Mainland. They took short holidays to the Okanagan and fell in love with Summerland. They found a beautiful parcel of land between Highway 97 & Lake Okanagan where they planted grape vines. In the summer of 2004 they opened their wine shop. They are pleased to annouce that they now have a picnic and patio license.
