Mission Hill Family Estate is celebrating the tenth anniversary of two of our most significant icons this year:
our signature wine Oculus and the winery Bell Tower. Join us at the winery this fall and winter for festivities
honouring our first Decade of Oculus and Decade of Bells.

The First Decade of the Bells at Mission Hill
Saturday, December 11th, 2010 | 11:00 am to 6:00 pm

Ten years ago on December 10, 2000, the bells at Mission Hill sounded for the first time. Since then, they have been heard world-wide and the Okanagan wine industry has been transformed. Handcrafted in France, the bells represent a time and place when people came together to celebrate. In that same spirit of coming together - to mark not only ten years of bells but also the incredible advancements within the BC wine industry over the past decade - we are commemorating the "Decade of Bells" with a special day of family-friendly festivities on Saturday, December 11, 2010.

10th Anniversary Celebration of OCULUS
Saturday, October 9th, 2010 | 12:00 to 4:00 pm

The 1997 debut vintage of Oculus epitomized a fusion of Old and New World winemaking traditions rooted in the soils of the South Okanagan. Today Oculus is a rich, elegant and refined red blend that has captured the attention of sommeliers, collectors and consumers worldwide. The tenth Oculus vintage is being commemorated with a series of special events across Western Canada, which include rare magnums of Oculus "Buy the Glass" at top western restaurants and a selection of intimate activities in the winery's exclusive Oculus Salon on Saturday, October 9, 2010.
