The family-Owned Monte Creek Winery Continues to Maintain Commitment to their Biosphere and Sustainability Efforts
After winning Sustainable Project of the Year Award in 2021, Monte Creek Winery urns for more by upholding their commitment in the Biosphere Sustainable Tourism System.
Monte Creek Winery, residing in the Thompson-Nicola Valley, was founded in 2009. The Winery has created a total of three vineyards all of which are a part of their sustainability programs. Just one of those programs is the Biosphere Sustainable Tourism System in which Monte Creek winery is a proud contributor. This system is a certification program designed to promote and recognize sustainable practices within the tourism industry, and it brings environmental, social and economic together in a simple way for businesses to follow (Monte Creek, 2025). Monte Creek Winery has been participating in this program since 2018 and led them to winning the Sustainable Project of the year Award by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association in 2021, making the organization push for more by working with the land instead of just on it.
Since then, Monte Creek has been striving to maintain their position within the Biosphere commitment and making sure it connects deeply with the organizations core values. Some of these values include quality, as they strive to continue producing award winning wines, innovation, through their Living Land series of wine that promotes the idea of growing amazing fruit by working cooperatively with nature, and of course sustainability, the winery is a part of so many new improvements and programs that push the meaning of sustainability. They have created things like their gravity flow production facility that uses natural forces instead of pumps to move wine (Monte Creek, 2025).
Eric Fisher, a representative for Monte Creek Winery on the BC Wine Institutes Board of Directors, states that “We [Monte Creek Winery] believe in regenerative agriculture and really leaving our imprint on the land leaving a better place than when we inherited it, and we inherited a very special place” (Fisher, 2022). Fisher explains the gratitude that Monte Creek has for the land it resides on and proves the organizations willingness to only improve it.
By visiting Monte Creek Winery, consumers and customers are therefore contributing back to the land themselves by supporting an organization with such a powerful Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) initiative. Not only does this make Monte Creek Winery more recognizable but also a staple piece for other organizations to look towards and fight to compare themselves to. So, if you want to contribute back to the land as much as Monte Creek Winery has, contribute to them first.
