SpearHead Winery | Buy Wines Online in Canada

SpearHead opened in 2010 in the central Okanagan and built its name on Pinot Noir.

The fruit is hand harvested and fermented in small lots, some off the estate vineyard and some from selected Okanagan sites. Each is bottled separately so the site gets to speak for itself. It took Winery of the Year and Best Performing Small Winery at the 2024 National Wine Awards.

Every bottle ships straight from the winery.

The story behind SpearHead Winery

SpearHead began in 2008 as a project among three friends who bought a former apple orchard on the slopes of East Kelowna. The first wines came with the 2010 vintage.

It started life as SpierHead, named for Spiers Road, then changed to SpearHead in 2018 to settle a trademark clash with a South African winery. The focus never wavered: Pinot Noir.

A Pinot Noir specialist

SpearHead pours most of its energy into Pinot Noir, bottling it block by block and clone by clone, with Chardonnay and Riesling alongside. Winemaker Grant Stanley, who made his name with Pinot at Quails' Gate and in New Zealand, joined in 2017.

The results have been hard to ignore. SpearHead was named Winery of the Year at the 2024 National Wine Awards of Canada, a rare feat for a small producer.

Frequently asked questions

What is SpearHead Winery known for?

SpearHead is a Pinot Noir specialist in East Kelowna, bottling single-block and single-clone Pinots. It was named Winery of the Year at the 2024 National Wine Awards of Canada, an unusual honour for a winery its size.

Where is SpearHead Winery?

On the benchlands of East Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. The cool, high slopes suit Pinot Noir, which is the grape the winery is built around.

Why is it spelled SpearHead now?

It started as SpierHead, after Spiers Road where it sits. In 2018 the winery became SpearHead to avoid a trademark conflict with an older South African producer. Same estate, same Pinot focus, slightly different name.
