The reputation — the story that sells at the table

Qwam Qwmt Syrah is the most recognised Indigenous-produced premium wine in North America; the winery's cultural significance and wine quality are both genuine.

Practice
A partnership of the Osoyoos Indian Band — North America's first Indigenous-owned and operated winery (2002). Nk'Mip means "bottom of the lake" in the nsyilxcən language. The winery is central to the Band's economic development and cultural preservation.
