Lightning Rock Named Top 25 Winery in Canada at 2025 WineAlign Awards

TExplore Lightning Rock’s 2025 WineAlign Medal-Winning Wines

Posted August 1, 2025 |  Lightning Rock Winery, Summerland, BC

Big news for Lightning Rock Winery! The final results of the 2025 WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada were announced today, and we’re thrilled to share that Lightning Rock has been named one of the Top 25 Wineries in the country.

This recognition feels especially meaningful because it celebrates more than what’s in the bottle; it honours our entire approach. Farming organically in challenging conditions, making low-intervention wines that reflect our land, and staying true to a style that’s vibrant, expressive, and honest. We may be small, but we are most definitely mighty and very proud today. 

Five Wines. Five Medals.

We’re proud to share that five Lightning Rock wines received national medals:

  • Platinum – 2022 Canyonview Pinot Noir
  • Gold – 2022 Canyonview Blanc de Noirs
  • Silver – 2022 Elysia Vineyard Pinot Noir
  • Bronze – 2022 Canyonview Chardonnay
  • Bronze – 2023 Tony’s Vineyard Riesling (now sold out)

Thank You

From our vineyard crew to our cellar team to everyone who’s visited, tasted, ordered, or told a friend, we’re here because of you. Your support allows us to keep doing what we love, and these awards feel like a shared celebration.

It’s not just about awards (though we’re absolutely raising a glass to these!). It’s about knowing that the way we work, the intention, the patience, the people-first energy, matters.

 

Come taste the winners
