About the Company

Recline Ridge Vineyards & Winery is a family-owned and operated boutique winery in the scenic Shuswap Lake region of British Columbia. The original vines were planted in 1994, and the winery was established in 1998. It specializes in cool-climate grape varietals such as Madeleine Angevine, Ortega, Siegerrebe, Optima, and Maréchal Foch. The location—north of the 50th parallel—with sun-drenched days and cool evenings gives the wines distinctive varietal character, clean structure, and balanced flavour.

In addition to wine production, Recline Ridge operates a welcoming wine shop and tasting bar, offers winery tours, tastings, and events for visitors, and serves a growing base of local and regional customers. The winery provides online ordering with shipping across multiple Canadian provinces, making its wines more accessible to wine lovers across the country.
