SpearHead Winery | Buy Wines Online in Canada

SpearHead has been turning heads since opening in 2010: it was named ‘Best New Winery’ at the 2012 BC Wine Awards, and in 2012 Wine Access magazine named the winery’s 2010 Pinot Noir as Canada’s best.

Our focus is on premium quality wine which we produce from grapes grown on our estate vineyard and from selected Okanagan Valley vineyards. The hand harvested grapes are sorted at the winery and fermented in small lots.

In addition to our insistence on maintaining excellence in our wines, we are committed to showcasing specific terroirs of the central Okanagan Valley. Particularly with our Pinot Noir bottlings, we have embarked on a program to produce site specific wines which display the unique attributes of selected Okanagan vineyards.

The story behind SpearHead Winery

SpearHead began in 2008 as a project among three friends who bought a former apple orchard on the slopes of East Kelowna. The first wines came with the 2010 vintage.

It started life as SpierHead, named for Spiers Road, then changed to SpearHead in 2018 to settle a trademark clash with a South African winery. The focus never wavered: Pinot Noir.

A Pinot Noir specialist

SpearHead pours most of its energy into Pinot Noir, bottling it block by block and clone by clone, with Chardonnay and Riesling alongside. Winemaker Grant Stanley, who made his name with Pinot at Quails' Gate and in New Zealand, joined in 2017.

The results have been hard to ignore. SpearHead was named Winery of the Year at the 2024 National Wine Awards of Canada, a rare feat for a small producer.

Frequently asked questions

What is SpearHead Winery known for?

SpearHead is a Pinot Noir specialist in East Kelowna, bottling single-block and single-clone Pinots. It was named Winery of the Year at the 2024 National Wine Awards of Canada, an unusual honour for a winery its size.

Where is SpearHead Winery?

On the benchlands of East Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. The cool, high slopes suit Pinot Noir, which is the grape the winery is built around.

Why is it spelled SpearHead now?

It started as SpierHead, after Spiers Road where it sits. In 2018 the winery became SpearHead to avoid a trademark conflict with an older South African producer. Same estate, same Pinot focus, slightly different name.
