Dunham & Froese Estate Winery is located just 8km north of Oliver in the Okanagan Valley in BC. They are a relatively new winery, but were already named Best New Winery in 2008 at the Okanagan Fall Wine festival. This small production winery that is hands on from the vineyard to the bottle, uses organic and biodynamic practices and their wines have already been collecting the accolades. Winemaker Kirby Froese has had 15 years of experience in many different countries, and has also been a member of the British Columbia VQA tasting panel since 1999.
In honor of the Olympics, we are pleased to present a selection February 14th from 3pm to 7pm at Firefly Maple Ridge located at 21755 Lougheed Highway
