Tender Hope Winery | Buy Wines Online in Canada

Wine is made in the vineyard. Here at Tender Hope Winery we stay true to this statement. We let the fruit shine and make wines that reflect the taste and smell of the land the grapes grew on. We use traditional winemaking methods and minimum intervention with the natural process of winemaking and ageing, letting the wines mature naturally.

Winemaker Efi Perel started growing grapes and making wine 25 years ago and has experience growing grapes and making wine in both hot and cool climates. In BC, he has worked for wineries like Summerhill, Nagging Doubt and First R.O.W, and has grown Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer grapes. Through their wines, he strives to take you on the adventure that is their special vineyard sites, grape varieties, and micro climates.

The story behind Tender Hope

Tender Hope is a small West Kelowna winery started in 2016 by Efi Perel, who was born in Israel and fell for wine while living in Spain. He worked years in Okanagan cellars before striking out on his own.

The name is personal. It is the meaning of his daughter's name, Rou Xi, carried onto the label.

Old-world hands, Okanagan fruit

Perel makes wine in a small, urban setting, working in an old-world, minimal-intervention way that leans on patience and natural ageing. He draws fruit from a handful of vineyards across the Okanagan, choosing them block by block.

The range covers Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah, each made in modest lots. Everything passes through one set of hands, from the sourcing to the bottle.
