Cedar Creek Estate Winery
5445, Lakeshore Road, Kelowna, Canada
Set within 50 acres of vineyards overlooking Okanagan Lake, Cedar Creek Estate Winery reimagines the winery as a place of gathering – one shaped as much by the landscape and climate as by ritual and hospitality. Designed by Arcanum Architecture for the Mark Anthony Group, the project draws inspiration from the European hillside village, where buildings cluster around shared outdoor spaces and architecture unfolds as a sequence of intimate moments.
The vision for Cedar Creek emerged unexpectedly, sparked by the Mark Anthony team’s encounter with another Arcanum project – Stewart Cellars in St. Helena – then under construction. Drawn to its materiality and sense of permanence, the team saw an opportunity to transform Cedar Creek into a contemporary farmhouse estate that balances agrarian vernacular and refined restraint. The result is a winery that feels both timeless and distinctly rooted in place.
Rather than consolidating the program into a single structure, the winery is organized as three primary buildings totaling 15,000 square feet: the public Tasting Room, the Home Block Restaurant, and the Aspect House, a private tasting space for members. The buildings are arranged as a loose cluster around a central terrace, breaking down the scale of the project and reinforcing a village-like atmosphere that encourages movement, discovery, and connection to the surrounding vineyards.
Climate and landscape play a defining role in the architecture. In response to Okanagan Valley’s hot, dry summers, floor-to-ceiling glass doors are recessed into thickened walls, allowing interior spaces to open fully to the outdoors while providing shade and thermal comfort. A sequence of three terraces extend the experience outward: an intimate seating area with a fireplace at the Tasting Room, a larger shared terrace that links all three buildings, and a restaurant terrace overlooking the lake, anchored by a custom steel buoy firepit that serves as both a functional feature and a sculptural focal point.
The Tasting Room is conceived as an outward-looking pavilion, designed to frame views of the courtyard, terrace, and lake. Monolithic materials are carried from exterior to interior, reinforcing a sense of continuity and calm. Standing-seam metal roofing wraps down the sides of the building, giving the rural form a crisp, contemporary expression. Inside, off-white veneer plaster on the walls and ceiling maintain uninterrupted sightlines, while an oval wood wine bar anchors the space and encourages interaction among guests. The room accommodates around 30 guests and establishes the social heart of the estate.
Home Block, the on-site restaurant, is defined by its material weight and craft. Its exterior is clad in St. Helena Cottage Ledge and Syre Stone, detailed to read as carved monolithic walls punctuated by generous openings. Stone bookends at either end of the building are paired with standing-seam metal siding between, reinforcing the architectural language shared across the estate. Interiors, designed by Erin Martin, draw on farmhouse traditions with a contemporary lens. Wood, from an 100-year-old barn in British Columiba planks line the walls, while custom wire-detailed chandeliers inspired by farm fencing – including a compass chandelier above the communal dining table – lend warmth and character. An exhibition cookline with a custom wood-fired grill opens directly to the dining room. Seating 118 guests, the restaurant features a temperature-controlled glass wine wall that marks the entrance to the private dining room, with large pocket doors opening onto the terrace and expansive views beyond.
The Aspect House offers a more intimate and contemplative experience, designed for members and private tastings. Echoing Home Block’s stone bookends, the building balances solidity with openness. Sliding windows pocket into walls, maintaining a visual connection to the terrace, while warm ambient light softens the interior. A linear fountain running the length of the building and a row of trees directly under the windows introduces a calming sensory layer. Inside, the ground floor includes three tasting rooms – two of which can be combined – while a larger upstairs tasting room accommodates up to 24 guests.
For Arcanum Architecture, Cedar Creek Estate Winery represents an ongoing exploration of how large programs can be human-scaled environments that feel intuitive, welcoming, and deeply connected to their surroundings. Through careful massing, material continuity and a choreography of indoor and outdoor spaces, the project transforms the winery experience into something closer to a lived-in village – shaped by landscape, climate, and the rituals of gathering.
