An online culture magazine from the U.K. is shining a light on the Okanagan with a recent collaboration of stories on local wineries.
Crane.tv based in London, England, released a short documentary on Summerhill Winery, marking the Kelowna establishment as the largest organic winery in Canada.
Prenille Raven is a part of the Crane.tv team that helped to produce the film. She says there is still three more films to be released in their Food Travel series which centre around other Okanagan wineries.
Working with Tourism BC and Tourism Kelowna, Quails’ Gate, Gray Monk and 50th Parallel were selected as the other focus wineries.
Crane.tv claims to highlight the makers, writers and builders in the creative industries, and is interested in discovering new talent.
“Crane.tv has a very dedicated food and spirits audience and thus we wanted to share the story of the amazing development within the Okanagan wine region,” said Raven. “We pride ourselves in sharing niche stories from around the world within contemporary culture, art and food and this was the perfect fit for us.”
The Okanagan Valley is referred to by Crane.tv as the tip of the Nevada Desert, and describes Kelowna as picturesque, filled with “beautiful landscapes, quaint wineries and fantastic wines of all varieties.”
Summerhill Winery is called “one of the most prestigious and stunning” wineries in the valley. The short film is narrated by Eric von Krosigk, the co-founder of Summerhill, who takes the audience on a historical trek through the vineyard.
Raven says her team enjoyed everything about the Okanagan while filming here.
“We were impressed with the hospitality of the wineries, the personal stories and relationships and the community between winemakers across the region.”
According to Raven, Crane.tv is now working with Destination Canada to produce more stories on our region.
