Do you ever have those moments when everything just seems to fall into place? Serendipity is just what Gene & Shelly Covert and Kirby & Crystal Froese the partners of Dunham & Froese experienced when coming together for their 1st vintage in 2005. We are a small production winery and are completely hands on from vineyard to bottle. We follow organic and biodyanmic practces both in the vineyard and in the winery. We are intensely dedicated to the betterment of the earth both now and for the future generation.

 

The Winery is located on the 600 acre Covert Farms we are the gateway to the Okanagan Landmark, McIntyre Bluff.

The bluff marks the northernmost point of the Great Basin Desert, and delimits a unique ecosystem in the heritage of British Columbia. Okanagan First Nations people know it as Nie-LING-tin /naIlIŋtIn/ meaning Storyteller.
