In addition to its big win, CedarCreek was awarded 15 medals for its portfolio of premium wines.

“As one of the original eight wineries in the Okanagan Valley, CedarCreek has championed quality winemaking practices and a vineyard-specific focus from the start,” noted Christopher Waters, Head Judge of the InterVin International Wine Awards. “If one were to look for a winery that’s emblematic of the dynamic changes afoot in the Okanagan Valley, CedarCreek’s renewed focus is a great case study.”

If you didn’t want to go already, now you have even more of a reason to head to Kelowna and see all the wineries and restaurants the area has to offer.
