Covert Farms Family Estate

Covert Farms Family Estate is a fourth-generation, 650-acre certified organic and regenerative farm on the plateau above Oliver, in the South Okanagan Valley. The estate has long stood out in BC wine for the scale of its commitment to farming: the vineyards are cultivated using certified organic, regenerative practices, and the winery frames its mission as producing wines that respect the earth. All wines are made from estate-grown grapes, and the award-winning portfolio includes Chardonnay, a Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend, rose, proprietary red blends, single-varietal reserves and the estate's signature wine, Amicitia. The property's setting, on a broad bench framed by the dramatic cliffs of the southern valley, is among the most striking in the region.

Visitors should note an important change: the estate has announced that, starting in 2024, it no longer offers general visitor experiences at the farm, marking a shift from the tours, tastings and u-pick activities it was once widely known for. The wines remain available through the estate's online shop, which features current releases and regular promotions, and the property maintains licensed facilities for hosting intimate weddings and corporate events on its expansive grounds. For wine lovers, that makes Covert Farms a label to seek out in bottle, on BC restaurant lists or for home delivery, rather than a drop-in tasting stop, while couples and event planners can still experience the spectacular site by arrangement. The estate remains a benchmark for organic and regenerative viticulture in the Okanagan, and its wines carry the story of a family that has farmed this land for four generations. Anyone planning around the property should check the website or contact the winery directly for the latest on availability and events.
