Retail Manager (Wine Jobs: Wine Retail & Sommelier)

  Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery (http://mtboucherie.com)

  West Kelowna, British Columbia

 

 

Mt. Boucherie Estates was established as a grape growing business in 1968 with the winery following in 2001. Vineyards were planted in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys from the 1960’s and with more being planted today.  The holdings today are over 300 acres.

The winery and vineyards were purchased from the original owners in 2016 with the vision of continuing this historic BC wine company with fresh energy, resources, and ideas. 

In the Summer of 2018, we broke ground on a 15,000 Square foot visitor center, restaurant with large outdoor patio, private tasting room and retail Wine Shop. This project will be completed in July 2019 and will become one of the grandest winery experience centers in British Columbia.
