A report released by the Wine Growers British Columbia and Cascadia Partners found that the freeze during December 2022, driven by climate change, may result in 45% of “total planted acreage suffering long-term irreparable damage” in the Okanagan region. Areas in South Okanagan, Kelowna, and Similkameen Valley report potential losses of 60% or more. Sadly, some wineries such as Red Rooster Winery announced its decision to close its on-site operations due to “an unprecedented winter event that damaged our Okanagan vineyards.”
