Fort Berens Estate Winery

Winery

About

In Lillooet, Fort Berens Estate Winery sits at the heart of BC’s newest wine region, where summers are long, hot, and dry—the perfect trifecta for growing grapes. 

Here, the winery’s 38 acres of vineyards along the famed Gold Rush Trail produce consistent, quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the area (Fort Berens focuses on producing single varietals from single vineyards with minimal intervention). White wines are fresh while reflecting the good acidity that is retained through the relatively cool nights of the region, while red wine varietals are cellared for one year in French and American oak barrels, then aged another year in bottle prior to release. 

The result? Regional, national, and international award-winning pours best paired with Chef David Schuk’s locally sourced menus at The Kitchen at Fort Berens. 

Visit the Fort Berens Estate tasting room, open daily, to take a 45-minute guided wine-tasting tour. Or, if you’d like to dine, plan your visit for May or later, and book at the winery’s restaurant.
