Tantalus Vineyards was founded on the belief that exceptional wines made from a single vineyard of outstanding pedigree would capture the imagination and palates of those seeking authenticity and a sense of place.
We are situated on the eastern slopes of the Okanagan Valley, overlooking the shores of Lake Okanagan and the township of Kelowna. Originally known as Pioneer Vineyards, the site was first planted to table grapes in 1927 and today is known as the oldest continuously producing vineyard in British Columbia.

Pioneer Wine Club
We’ve been called a lot of things since we first emerged onto the BC wine scene—the purists, the terroirists, site-obsessed—and while we welcome all of these nicknames, we like to think of ourselves more as the industry’s “new pioneers”.
