For more than thirty years, Mushal Winery & Vineyards has been a cherished labor of love for Avtar Sandhu and his wife Roopinder. The sixty spectacular acres, where they would build their agricultural dream, immediately captured their hearts with its quiet beauty and rustic charm in 1978.

Mushal showed the promise of something unique. Avtar's vision for Mushal was to nurture the land and bottle its poetry in wine. Upon its acquisition, the Sandhu's vineyard was merely a forest of Douglas Firs and a few strands of grapevines that had been long ago forgotten. Using his extensive engineering knowledge, Avtar has been able to gradually develop the property using ecologically sensitive methods that have preserved the natural beauty of its meandering streams and sweeping vistas.

The low-lying level blocks of Sandhu Vineyards are devoted to Sauvignon Blanc, while the hillside slopes that rise to more than 300ft above street level are planted with Merlot and the crests support Cabernet Sauvignon.

The enchanting acreage housing Mushal Winery & Vineyards produces equally enchanting wines. For Avtar Sandhu, that enchantment pays homage to the story that each wine is capable of telling. "Every wine has a history behind it," says Sandhu, and it's not just about drinking and supplementing one's food. Every sip takes one through a journey of taste."
