As an independent and small-scale producer, Lightning Rock wines are natural and unique, reflecting the distinct qualities of Summerland and the Okanagan Valley. Our team works with nature and employs natural and organic farming methods to ensure that our grapes are healthy and clean. Our vineyards are all located nearby, with each having its own unique qualities.

We produce less than 3,000 cases of great-tasting wine each year from grapes like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Viognier, Gamay, and Syrah.

Lightning Rock Winery is situated at the Elysia Vineyard, where we discovered a huge granite rock split in two, rumoured to have been hit by lightning. The rock sits halfway up a volcanic ridge and symbolizes our goal to create exciting and flavorful wines.

Room set-up/format: Sit down service. Small plates with select beverages
