The Okanagan’s original estate winery, First Estate has been through several changes of name and receiverships. It was revived in 2004 by Calgary trucking executive Frank Silvestri, in a nod to his Italian heritage. Throughout 2009, the winery posted a “temporarily closed” sign on its gate. However, the wines continue to be sold through private wine stores.
