About Us

Bounty Cellars is the house brand of a commercial www.exness.za.com/mt4 winery headquartered in the heart of British Columbia's principal wine-growing region, the Okanagan Valley. In addition to the increasing renown of the varietals and blends bearing the Bounty label, many of which have won prestigious awards, the company prides itself on brands created for customers and third-party investors. Since 2004, the Bounty team have crafted over 400 private labels, unique wines developed for special events of various sizes, restaurant house brands, university alumni associations and similar organizations who have generated impressive wine sales as a value added dimension of their daily business.

The original vision of the company was to model itself after the traditional négotiants of France, who buy the grapes of growers from various regions and subclimates to create world-renowned brands that - as a result of expert winemaking and blending - rarely vary year after year.
