River Stone Estate Winery

River Stone Estate Winery, located in Oliver, BC is surrounded by their hand tended vineyard. When they moved to the Okanagan Valley they chose this site for its superb grape-growing qualities and planted the vineyard with a Bordeaux-style blend in mind, which they have called Corner Stone.

As their winery name, River Stone, and vineyard name, River Rock Vineyards suggest, their wines come from the deep rock and gravel soils laid down following the last glacial recession. They grow five red Bordeaux varietals: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, as well as several white varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.

Long sunlit summer days followed by fall's warm days and cool nights have consistently produced premium quality fruit.

The story behind River Stone Estate

River Stone is about as personal as a winery gets. Ted Kane and his wife Lorraine bought a patch of raw land north of Oliver in 2001, planted it themselves in 2002, and opened the tasting room in 2011.

Ted taught himself winemaking along the way, chasing a plan he had carried for years. Everything still comes off that one home vineyard.

One vineyard, Bordeaux reds

The estate grows all five red Bordeaux grapes on site: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. They come together in the flagship Corner Stone, a serious Okanagan red blend.

Whites like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris round out the range, but reds are the point here. Corner Stone took gold at the 2023 National Wine Awards of Canada.
