Location:
A multiple award winning winery in the heart of the Fraser Valley.
From small experiments to big dreams. Vern Siemens, the owner and head winemaker of Mt. Lehman Winery started trials with dandelion and raspberry wines in elementary school. As a family, they started farming grapes in 1988 with their first big land purchase: 80 acres of prime farmland right here in the Fraser Valley. They planted their first grapes in 1991 and had 3.5 acres of grapes ready to grow. More recently in 2009, they finally realized their dream of opening a boutique winery, the Mt. Lehman Winery. They are now well known for their award winning wines and are committed to growing their local, family-run business.
