Firstly, our gratitude to John Schreiner for information that greatly assisted us with Perseus. The winery and structure, sits quietly among established Penticton homes, blending in with the character of the neighbourhood in the urban landscape bordering the bustle of downtown. Inside, the tasting room, wine shop, and amenities are modern, with a nostalgic twist. Here you'll find wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of each of our Okanagan and Similkameen vineyards:

Grapes from the winery's Lower Bench Vineyard, Old Station Vineyard overlooking Skaha Lake, and Blind Creek Vineyard in Cawston, go into the small, but exciting, collection of high quality, expressive wines produced by Perseus. Because only the best fruit from each vineyard is used each vintage, the wines on offer vary from year to year.

Started by three long time friends who have now taken in three majority partners, this winery is dedicated to producing quality wines that will be integrated into the social landscape in Penticton...an urban, albeit Okanagan urban, winery.
