See Ya Later Ranch The wines of See Ya Later wines
celebrate the lively legacy of Major Hugh Fraser, a colourful
character who purchased the property high above the Okanagan
Valley in 1919. The Major found the freedom and open skies
of the valley the perfect complement to his fun-loving personality
and fondness for lavish parties. Here near the town of Okanagan
Falls he planted vines and seeded a legend. The ranch was
his home for more than forty-five years, each one adding to
a rich mix of truth and fiction involving elaborate gatherings,
plenty of dogs and a wife from London who on seeing the rustic
surroundings left both the Valley and a three-word note:See
ya later.
Experience the rich and playful history with simple yet informative
wine tasting (portion of the tasting fees going the BCSPCA)
. Stay and enjoy our Off Leash experience that
immerses you into the heart of the vineyard for a winery tour,
tasting and picnic lunch. For those with a little less time
enjoy lunch on the outdoor patio (the stunning vineyard, mountains
and lake views may make you change your mind). Whether its
a brief visit or you have the whole afternoon, there is plenty
to offer and this little gem of a winery.
