About Tinhorn Creek Vineyards
Tinhorn Creek Vineyards was established in 1993 just south of Oliver, B.C., in what has been known as the Golden Mile Bench. It is headed by Sandra Oldfield, president and CEO, who is a California ex-pat who worked in Sonoma County before heading north with husband Ken Oldfield.
The winery has two vineyards: its estate Tinhorn Creek on the west side of the valley and its Diamondback Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench on the east side.
In 2011, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards partnered with Manuel Ferreira of Le Gavroche restaurant in Vancouver to open Miradoro, a restaurant at the winery that provides stunning panoramic views of the valley along with award-winning cuisine that focuses on locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant is open from March through December.
