Howling Bluff Estate Winery
Howling Bluff is located in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley on the famed Naramata Bench. This unique sub-appellation is now recognized as one of the world’s best wine growing regions.
Established in 2004, and planted with Pinot Noir, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon grapes by Luke Smith, Howling Bluff remains a locally owned, family-owned-and-operated estate winery. We take pride in growing our vines and crafting small lots of remarkable wines. We honour the authenticity of Old World Burgundy varietals and apply innovative, New World techniques to optimize the quality of our winemaking.

The story behind the name
Where did our name, Howling Bluff, come from? The name came about from a beautiful early spring morning, the moon still in the sky and our dogs howling away on the bluff by the winery. The scene, the occasion, and the moment just seemed too perfect. Thus Howling Bluff winery, and the stylized logo with our beloved dog Summa, was born. Our talented artist neighbour, Johann Wessels, created the stylized logo and the other stunning artwork you’ll see at the winery.
We also get many questions about the name of our vineyard, Three Mile Creek vineyard. Three Mile creek runs under our Century Block pinot noir vines, and under the road now called Three Mile Road.
