Orofino makes Similkameen Valley Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Gamay, Riesling and other small-lot wines at its strawbale winery in Cawston, BC; its 2024 Washington Series was made from Washington-grown grapes, so part of the current range uses imported grapes.
Orofino's Similkameen-grown table wines can no longer ship to the US since the import ban of September 29, 2026 (50% duty from August 22 to September 28, 2026), under HTS 2204.21.50.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
