About
Set on the Nechako River in Prince George, Northern Lights Estate Winery is the largest fruit winery in Canada and the most northernly winery in the province. Their onsite Bistro also shines as the only riverfront restaurant in city.
Here, award-winning, vegan-friendly wines are crafted from BC-grown fruits, including gooseberries, raspberries, apples, rhubarb, black currants, cherries, and blueberries. A carbon-neutral winery, Northern Lights focuses on sustainability and environmental practices, including soil regeneration, biodiversity, and water conservation.
Try the Heritage Haskap, a bold, big-bodied red. A hardy producer of the North, the Haskap berry thrives in cold climates, offering a burst of dark red fruits and oak on the nose, notes of bright blueberry, and a hint of vanilla on the finish. For a different flavour, the Nechako Crush, made from the often-overlooked rhubarb plant, offers a balanced sweetness with a tart finish, thanks to hints of cranberry and citrus, accentuated by spring flowers. If you're eager to try more, book a private tasting, pair your pours with menus from the Bistro, and enjoy the riverside views.
