The Story Behind Summerhill Pyramid Winery

Summerhill Pyramid Winery began with one bold vision: to create the finest sparkling wine in the world—right in the heart of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Founded in the late 1980s by Stephen Cipes, a New York real estate developer turned vineyard dreamer, Summerhill is rooted in a deep respect for the land, organic farming, and the mysteries of nature.

Inspired by ancient European cellars and sacred geometry, Cipes built a precision-aligned pyramid on the estate—where every bottle is aged. The result? Wines with extraordinary energy, complexity, and soul. Summerhill’s commitment to certified organic practices, paired with its spiritual approach to winemaking, has made it one of Canada's most visited and internationally awarded wineries.

At Summerhill, wine is more than a drink—it’s a connection to the earth, to each other, and to something greater.
