An iconic estate in the south Okanagan Valley, Blue Mountain has produced wines from their estate vineyards since 1991. Jane and Ian Mavety were leaders in establishing French grape varieties in the region and have continued to improve on their successes. Their son Matt has joined the family enterprise, working in the vineyard and the winery, and daughter Christie works in marketing and management. Vineyards are sustainably farmed, using diverse cover crops, on-farm composting, and a lot of hand work. The 31-hectare estate produces limited quantities of sought-after wines, notably from Burgundian and Alsatian varieties.
