Blackwood Lane Winery is proof that you can’t throw away tradition if you want to produce world-class wine. Carlos Lee, owner of Blackwood Lane, has an abiding love and respect for the traditional French winemaking practices, and the results are undeniable - love at first sip. But just how does Carlos create magic in a bottle? Quality over quantity.
The keyword is “handcrafted”. Blackwood Lane wines are made with well-grown BC grapes of the Okanagan Valley in the Oliver-Osoyoos area, fine French oak barrels and most importantly, time. Blackwood Lane red wines are aged at least three years before being released. This creates a smooth, well-integrated wine that offers layers of fine flavours and aromas. While the red wines can be cellared for many years, it’s not a necessity as Carlos releases them only when he feels they are ready to drink.
Blackwood Lane wines are deliciously fruit-forward with very fine tannins and are free of harsh chemicals or additives. Since there are no fining agents such as Isinglass and egg whites, our wines are also vegan! World-class wine for all!

Blackwood Lane Winery was the dream of Carlos Lee and that of his oenophile partners. Their goal was simple, to produce wines that lived up to their high standards and expectations. Their philosophy is summarized in the Company’s motto: “Bonus Vita et Bonus Amici” (Good Life and Good Friends).
There are few things more glamorous than a summer wedding at our winery! Host up to 40 guests for an intimate evening in our solarium, or 175 on our terrace. The stunning view from our south-facing piazza is the perfect backdrop for your romantic wedding! Pair our wines with amazing culinary dishes, and you'll be ready to celebrate!
Our wine tastings are always fun, friendly, and informative! Bring a group or just come with a friend. We’d love to introduce you to our award-winning wines, and show you around our winery as well! Our wine tastings are great for the oenophile or those who are new to wine! Our Tasting Room is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 11 to 5.
Throughout the day, families large and small, from near and far, arrived at Blackwood Lane and were treated to a special wine tasting. As the VIP moms and their families entered the winery, they were welcomed with a mouth-watering selection of gorgeous charcuterie that perfectly complimented the fine wines they were about to sample. They had the good fortune to sample the best wines in Canada, including Alliànce, and Blackwood Lane’s iconic The Referènce! Only the best for our Mothers!
While Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated, many people are not clear as to its significance beyond the fact that it translates from the Spanish to “The 5th of May”. And while, for most people, that’s all they need to know for an excuse to party, the day actually commemorates a Mexican underdog victory over France in the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. While perhaps not immediately obvious, the historical significance of the day is actually apropos to Carlos Lee’s Blackwood Lane.
