For almost 29 years, House of Rose Winery was a staple business in 91大黄鸭.

But as of Dec. 12, the winery will be shutting its doors forever.

House of Rose was one of the first 17 wineries in the Okanagan Valley, launched in 1993 by Vern Rose.

Then in 2009, Aura Rose and her husband, Wouter van der Hall, bought the winery from her dad, to allow him to retire at the age of 81.

鈥淲e are happy and sad,鈥� said Rose. 鈥淓xcited to be retiring, sad that the winery will not continue. We had hoped that any new owners of the property would continue with the winery, the live-music events, grape stomps and picnics we鈥檝e held here over the years. It鈥檚 definitely bittersweet.鈥�

The property, located at 2270 Garner Road, has been sold and the wine shop will close permanently on Sunday.

Stores that have House of Rose in stock will continue to sell until it鈥檚 gone, however, after that there will be no more of this particular 91大黄鸭 wine available.
