Why Stock Bordertown
01
Award-Winning at Every Level
From the BC Lieutenant Governor's Award of Excellence to scores of 90–94 points from John Schreiner — including 94 points for Cabernet Franc — Platinum and Gold medals at major international competitions, and Top 50 BC Wines recognition. Bordertown's wines have the credentials that give buyers and sommeliers confidence, and that give customers a reason to reach for the bottle.
02
100% Estate-Grown
Every grape in every Bordertown wine was grown on our own vineyards — over 200 acres across Osoyoos, Peachland and West Kelowna. No purchased fruit, no blending from anonymous sources. In a market where provenance matters more than ever, estate-grown is a genuine selling point — and ours is verifiable down to the specific vineyard block and location.
03
One of BC's Broadest Portfolios
With 21 wines and ciders across whites, reds, rosé, blends, reserves and cider — including rare single-varietals like Petit Verdot and Grüner Veltliner — Bordertown can supply a broad range of your listings from a single estate source. Multiple price points, multiple occasions, one winery relationship.
04
A Compelling Story That Sells
The Gill family arrived in Canada in 1993 and built one of the most respected growing operations in the South Okanagan over 20 years before opening the winery in 2015. That story — of family, farming and the Osoyoos living desert — resonates with staff and customers alike, and gives your team something real to say about what they're pouring.
05
The South Okanagan Advantage
Osoyoos is Canada's only true pocket desert — and the hottest, longest-ripening wine region in the country. Paired with our cooler Peachland and West Kelowna sites, our three growing locations give us a range of terroir that produces both powerfully concentrated desert reds and elegant cool-climate whites — all under one estate umbrella.
06
Direct, Responsive Partnership
Bordertown is a family-run winery. When you work with us, you deal directly with the people who grow the grapes, make the wine and care about every account. No layers of intermediaries, no slow corporate pipelines. Questions get answered, orders get processed, and relationships get built — the way they should be.

In the Press
"The turning point came when noted UK wine critic Jamie Goode discovered Bordertown Cabernet Franc at Germany's ProWein trade show and alerted other wine writers to taste it."
