Dirty Laundry Vineyard’s story is anything but hush-hush! While the winery officially kicked off in the early 2000s, its quirky name dates back to the 1800s when an enterprising railway worker in the Okanagan opened a laundry business. To keep his customers entertained while they waited, a lively gambling den and brothel were added to the mix, earning the nickname "Dirty Laundry." Fast forward to the early 2000s, when Bob Campbell and his partners took over the winery, turning a dream into a reality. Since then, Dirty Laundry has flourished, growing from 1,800 cases to a whopping 35,000 per year, with fan-favorite wines like the Hush Rosé and award-winning Pinot Noir. But the best part? They’re all about fun! Dirty Laundry keeps things light, ensuring that wine is never too serious – just seriously delicious. Enjoy 4-5 wine tastings, with time to shop for your favorite wine!

Over a century ago, in 1895, George Greata had a wild dream and a pack mule. He saw the perfect spot for a fruit orchard, perched on a bench above a lake—but there was one big problem: no water! Not one to back down, George decided to build a five-mile wooden flume in 1900 to bring water from a nearby creek. Talk about determination! Thanks to that flume, the orchard bloomed in 1901, and the rest is delicious history. Cheers to George and his vision, making this land thrive for over 100 years!

Back in the Prohibition days, Summerland was a dry town with a secret—its sunny exterior masked a hidden world of bootlegging. While the Dry Squads were on the lookout, savvy locals like the Victoria Cafe’s owner and clandestine peach orchardists kept the wine flowing.

Today, Back Door Winery, run by Jesse Gill, brings back that rebellious spirit, turning a historic piece of land into a vineyard that celebrates Summerland’s cheeky past with stellar wines.
