Our Owner Leaving behind a successful career in the restaurant industry that spanned 30+ years, Mike Raffan chose to pursue his passion for wine and purchased Township 7 Vineyards and Winery from Corey and Gwen Coleman on June 1, 2006. As a veteran restaurateur, Mike has been around wines all of his working life and prior to buying Township 7, was already a big fan. Township 7 has earned an exceptional reputation for the award-winning quality of its wine and Mike is committed to maintaining that quality with the assistance of Township 7’s wine maker, Brad Cooper. While Mike is not planning any significant changes in the foreseeable future, he is renovating the Penticton operations in order to make the wine shop larger and to improve the other facilities. Renovations began over the summer and will continue in 2007. Our History The vines at Township 7/Langley were planted in the spring of 2000 and the winery opened for business in July of 2001. In the fall of 2003, a second vineyard property was purchased on the Naramata Bench. Two acres of grape vines were planted on the seven acre property in the spring of 2004, and additional vines planted in 2005. The combined production facility and tasting room was completed and opened in the summer of 2004, and offers visitors the opportunity to see the workings of the winery first hand. The Langley wine shop is housed in the beautiful south Langley countryside in a quaint building reminiscent, on the outside, of the many riding stables in the neighbourhood. Aside from the vineyards in Langley and on the Naramata Bench, grapes for our wines are grown in the Oliver area of British Columbia, a world-renowned location for growing grapes for the more full-bodied Merlots, Cabernet Sauvignons, Syrahs and Chardonnays that Township 7 produces. Township 7 Vineyards and Winery’s offerings include Un-Oaked Chardonnay, a barrel aged Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, a method traditionelle[?] sparkling wine made from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, and a late harvest dessert wine. Township 7 focuses on the production of small lots of high quality wines made from carefully chosen grapes from the Okanagan Valley and from our vineyards in Langley and Penticton. Our family owned and operated winery is committed to creating exceptional wines that are complex, flavourful and well balanced.
