CedarCreek Estate Winery:

At CedarCreek Estate Winery, everything we do comes back to one goal: to create and share distinctive, cool climate wines. As we know, great wine comes from a balanced and thriving vineyard. Our commitment to organic farming builds a deep connection to the land and allows us to make wines that are vibrant and bright- a pure expression of the North Okanagan. With this pursuit we are thrilled to announce that CedarCreek Estate Winery is the winner of the coveted ‘Winery of the Year’ title at the 2022 WineAlign National Wine Awards.

Home Block Restaurant:
We pride ourselves on being one of the most coveted restaurants in the valley, that of which would not be possible without the relentless pursuit of our team and breathtaking venue. Each person plays an integral role within this business and there is no mountain we can’t climb together. A sense of urgency is a non-negotiable because we are a fast-paced company, in a fast-paced industry. We trust our team members to be authentic and humble while sharing our story with guests, letting the elevated simplicity of our food speak for itself. At the end of the day, it still takes a lot of fun and care to be named Winery of the Year. If you’re looking for an opportunity to bond with likeminded hospitality folk, apply today!
