He explained building the winery and working with the vines has been challenging as the terrain is steep.

Summerland has numerous wineries, but most are on flatter and lower land. However, Matt Sartor was interested in growing grapes and producing wine at this location.

Solvero is one of two wineries in the Garnet Valley area. Its elevation, at almost 600 metres, is one of the highest vineyards in British Columbia.

The winery has more than seven hectares of grapes planted, including some high-density plantings.

Moyes said the winery will offer a unique grape-to-glass experience. She said the property is ideal for the wines Solvero Wines is producing.

In addition to the four varieties already in production, the winery has also planted grapes for Gamay.

Grapes are grown at the Wildhorse Road property and also in the Happy Valley area of Summerland.

Sartor said the winery is not yet completed. The tasting room is yet to be constructed. For this summer, tasting will be done in an outdoor area at the building.
