Burrowing Owl Estate Winery

Balance is a time-honoured goal in making premium wines, and working toward balance is a way of life at Burrowing Owl Estate Winery. Founder Jim Wyse is committed to balance well beyond that of the fine, world-class wines being produced. A kind of Hippocratic oath (“to do no harm”) underlies Burrowing Owl’s creative viticultural and enological practices.

In 1993, when Jim Wyse began replanting the vineyards carefully selected for their ability to produce world class, premium quality grapes, the winery was not part of his long term vision. Having recognized the potential of this location, Jim was gratified to see wines made with his grapes gaining immediate recognition.

Finally, the decision to build Burrowing Owl Estate Winery was confirmed, and a winery license was obtained in 1997. Construction began in early 1998 and was completed just before that year’s harvest. The site has since been enhanced with a beautiful fine-dining Restaurant and luxurious Guest House.
