Young & Wyse Collection

The winery formerly known as the Young & Wyse Collection now operates as Over the Fence Winery, a family-owned producer in Osoyoos at the southern tip of the Okanagan Valley, one of the warmest and most productive grape-growing areas in Canada. The family rebranded the winery in 2024 to better reflect their emphasis on community and hospitality, while the Young & Wyse name remains woven into the winery's identity through its wines. The estate has deep roots in the South Okanagan, and continues to make handcrafted VQA wines that combine tradition with modern artisan technique, focusing on limited collections rather than mass production. The red lineup has featured Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Zinfandel along with the proprietary Black Sheep blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, while the whites include Viognier, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer and a blended white called Amber. Visitors will find the tasting room at 9503 12th Avenue in Osoyoos, generally open daily through the warmer months with shorter or by-appointment hours in winter, so it is worth confirming current hours before visiting. Under the Over the Fence banner the winery has leaned into a lively, welcoming atmosphere, with a membership program called the Good Neighbour Club and a busy calendar of events that has included regular live music and summer concerts among the vines. Osoyoos sits at the heart of a concentrated wine-touring region, with its warm desert-like climate, the shimmering Osoyoos Lake and dozens of acclaimed wineries within easy reach toward Oliver and along the Black Sage Bench. For travellers exploring the South Okanagan, Over the Fence offers small-lot, estate-minded wines in a friendly, community-focused setting, an inviting stop for anyone seeking genuine hospitality alongside their tasting.
