Barbara and I had the honour of been one of the first to visit the Garnet Valley Ranch. Located a little North west of central Summerland. The property is the dream of Christine Coletta and Steve Lornie’s owners of Haywire Winery'
This rare place was discovered in 2012 in a lucky twist of fate. A chance visit left us breathless at the endless possibilities. From that first day, we made a commitment to a land stewardship program that would see the vast majority of the 320-acre site left in its natural state. And we have done just that. Today, Garnet Valley Ranch is a certified organic site, home to vineyards, field crops, a lavender farm, a bustling beehive and a small winery and The Outlook visitor center.
Our host Craig Pingle General Manager for Haywire and Garnet Valley Ranch.
The entire 320-acre site is organic farmed. Biodiversity is the focus with grapevines, fields of vegetables and lavender all working to support buzzing bee hives. Please arrange a time to visit.
