Moon Curser Vineyards

Spécialités

Moon Curser Vineyards is a family owned winery located in Osoyoos, a small South Okanagan border town known for its hot summers, lakeside fun and vineyards.

The Moon Curser name pays tribute to the gold smuggling history of Osoyoos. Its wines, however, show no such respect for tradition — the winery is known for growing unusual old varieties such as Tempranillo and Tannat .

Moon Curser has brought home many a gold medal from Canadian and international wine competitions. Of particular note was the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards’ Trophy for Best Canadian Red Wine awarded for its 2009 Border Vines.

Historique

Fondé en 2004.

Winery founders Chris and Beata Tolley decided to leave their lives in software development and accounting, respectively, in Calgary behind and follow their passion to Osoyoos to make wine. They bought an orchard on the East Bench above Osoyoos Lake and began the arduous process of transforming the orchard into a vineyard.

A decade later, Moon Curser Vineyards is a flourishing boutique winery that has made a name for itself crafting high quality wines from very special grape varieties. Primarily producing red wines, Moon Curser makes the most of their unique place in the world.
