An early pioneer in the Okanagan Valley, today, Mission Hill Family Estate encompasses a broad spectrum of vineyard estates with more than 30 diverse microclimates. Our continual experimentation, understanding of the soil and clones that best perform in specific areas, and technological investment, have led us to precision farming that is both sustainable and delivers ultra-premium grapes.

Our Reserve wines are handcrafted on the premise of “Selection” – selection in the vineyard and the cellar. We source our fruit from the top 15% of our estate vineyards and 75% of the same vineyard blocks are used to ensure consistency vintage to vintage. 

The illustration on our label is an original architect sketch from Tom Kundig when he and Proprietor Anthony von Mandl were designing the winery. The renowned Bell Tower is the focal point surrounded by the hillside where our winery sits.

Winemaker Notes
Our 2018 Reserve Viognier was grown in our estate vineyards in Osoyoos and the Black Sage Bench in Oliver. Our Osoyoos vineyard, is the Okanagan Valley’s most southern area and is comprised of arid benchlands that benefit from the lake’s warming effect providing the region with more than 200 frost-free days. Our vineyard in Oliver, first planted in 1996, is diverse with more than 60 different individual blocks affording us an amazing array of premium quality fruits.
