Winery News | Blue Mountain Spring Update
Spring has arrived in the valley and our vineyards are ready for a new and prosperous growing season.
We have some unfortunate news to share with all of you about the outcome of the 2021 harvest. As many of you were aware there were many wildfires burning throughout BC last summer. The estate was near the Thomas Creek wildfire in Okanagan Falls.
The winery’s estate vineyards were impacted by smoke contamination. While attempts to mitigate the impact of the contamination were tried the results did not meet the winery’s quality standards.
We made the very difficult decision not to bottle the 2021 vintage simply because we were not willing to compromise the reputation, that we have worked tirelessly to establish over the past three decades.
While this unparalleled interruption of production is disappointing for everyone – including family, staff, wine club members, and wine lovers in BC and around the world – we are confident that we will resume making premium wines with the 2022 vintage. The vines themselves were not affected.
We have some inventory from previous Blue Mountain vintages to last for some months. However, any decisions regarding the winery being open to the public for purchases will be made late Spring of 2022.
In the meantime, Blue Mountain thanks everyone for their support.
Sincerely,
Christie, Matt, Jane and Ian Mavety

Blue Mountain Season Update: June 2021
Dear Valued Blue Mountain Supporter,
I am sure we are all feeling a collective sigh of relief with the announcement of the 4-step reopening plan here in BC. It has been a long 15 months of following guidelines!
After much thought, we have made the difficult decision to keep our tasting room closed for the season. We are currently operating the winery’s day-to-day administrative duties as just a two-person team, and we simply wouldn’t be able to give in-person visitors the time and attention they deserve.
We will, however, continue to offer ‘curbside’ pick up, at our gate, for those living or visiting our health region (when permitted by public health orders). We look forward to chatting with you when you come to pick up your order. We miss seeing you! For those residing outside, or not visiting, our health region, please use the code 2021THANKYOU to receive complimentary shipping on orders of 12 or more bottles purchased at www.bluemountainwinery.com.
Your support means a lot to us, and we look forward to celebrating with you in person in 2022!
Please do not hesitate to contact us at (250) 497-8244 or bluemountainwinery@bluemountainwinery.com
