One of the largest wineries in South Okanagan wine country is launching after years of construction and legal setbacks, though the grand opening is looking a little different than they planned.
Phantom Creek Estates Winery, an imposing, 45,000-foot structure atop a hill in Oliver, had hoped to have a grand gala opening in April, but COVID-19 changed all that.
Instead of an in-person welcoming, it decided to launch a series of 10 mini-documentaries touring the grounds, introducing its wines, team and vision.
“For the last year, we have been preparing to introduce ourselves to the world here at the estate,” CEO Santiago Cilley said. “In this new environment, we are bringing ourselves to the world instead.
“This docu-series will introduce viewers to our past, present and future, and celebrate the passion, commitment and precision that defines who we are.”
The winery has an expansive outdoor entertaining area, including designated picnic spots and an amphitheater space which the team plans to utilize for safe, open-air experiences.
Take a peek inside through the biweekly videos, the first of which is already live here.
