We have one of the strongest management teams in the wine industry, with well-honed skills in winemaking, viticulture, marketing, sales, and accounting.
Many small wineries ship on allocation because demand outstrips production.
Chateau Jonn de Trepanier, located in Peachland, BC, received British Columbia s first estate winery license in 1978. Our new winery name, First Estate Cellars, arose from this fact. Our winery was the start of market-focused wine production in British Columbia. The number of wineries has grown almost ten fold in the past ten years. Prior to the new wave of wineries, there was no coordinated focus on meeting market demand.
