The Winery

Hester Creek is a beautiful destination in the heart of British Columbia’s Wine Country.

The winery was originally built on this site in the early 1980s by BC wine pioneer, Joe Busnardo who called it Divino Estate. The property was subsequently sold in 1996 and renamed Hester Creek after the creek that borders the south side of the land.

Charmed by the scenic location and convinced by its potential to become a destination, Prince George entrepreneur, Curt Garland, bought Hester Creek in 2004. The dry grasslands, natural vegetation, orchards and vineyards of the Golden Mile Bench reminded him of the Tuscan wine region, and he envisioned an estate that would match the romanticism of the old world.

Curt made a number of significant investments in the vineyards, both by expanding the vineyards with new plantings and installing a drip irrigation system. He constructed the 23,000-square-foot winery with state-of-the-art equipment for our winemaking team; a new tasting room; luxurious accommodations at The Villa; and an Italian-inspired restaurant, Terrafina.

Today, Hester Creek is a destination winery that offers a gracious wine country welcome to guests, with premium old vine wines and highly rated wine experiences. You’ll feel like you’ve escaped to Tuscany with the full estate experience at the winery. The setting at Hester Creek offers panoramic vineyard views, scenic summer patios, wine tasting experiences, fine dining and luxury stays.
