Mission Hill Family Estate Winery

Welcome to Mission Hill Family Estate, situated in the heart of British Columbia’s breathtaking Okanagan Valley wine country, one of the Pacific Northwest’s undiscovered gems.

Making great wines and providing a special place where people can enjoy them has been my dream and my life’s work. Now, it’s a reality, one that my family and I want to share with everyone who visits us high atop Mission Hill.

We hope you’ll think of our winery as a refuge from the hurried pace of daily life. We invite you to experience the nature and art of winemaking by walking our lush on-site vineyards and visiting our underground cellars. Sample fine wines by the glass, marvel at the vista and reflect on a process that’s almost as old as time itself.

Our Guest Experience section provides detailed information about our tours and wine programs. We look forward to your visit.

Discover the finest Okanagan Wines from Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery. Located in the heart of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley Wine Country, Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery was established in February 2001, and is a family-owned and operated Estate Winery.

Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery is one of British Columbia’s newest Estate Wineries, producing award-winning red wines, white wines, dessert wines and Icewine. With a 20,000 sq. ft. facility for processing, fermentation and bottling, Mt. Boucherie Estate is poised at the forefront of the Okanagan wine industry. A long time dream of the Gidda family, the winery uses 100% estate-grown grapes from the family’s vineyard holdings, BC’s largest family owned and operated.

The Gidda family has grown winegrapes in the Okanagan since 1968. Vineyard sites now include 80 acres near Cawston in the Similkameen Valley, 40 acres in Okanagan Falls and 55 acres in the Westbank area. Kaldep “Kal” Gidda manages the Cawston and OK Falls vineyards and Nirmal Gidda manages the Westbank locations.

As a family-owned and operated facility, the two brothers take great pride in ensuring that the quality of their wines are maintained right from the vineyard into the bottle.

Our winemaking team is made up of Head Winemaker Robert Thielicke and Winemaker David Frederick.

Jaspreet “Pinki” Gidda is Sales Director and manages on-site sales and marketing.
