BC A-Z : Winegrowers Series The Hatch

By: Anthony Gismondi

Jessie Harden and Jason Parkes hatch a dream.

British Columbia

In the second of six videos that make up the 2015 BC Winegrowers Series, I visit The Hatch, a new, unique winery project in the Okanagan.

GM Jessie Harnden and winemaker Jason Parkes have hatched a series of single-vineyard wines from across the Okanagan Valley.

Join me as I taste some wine, have a picnic, play some bocce and learn all about the Black Swift, a bird native to the Okanagan that lays a single egg per year. Single egg, single vineyard, well, you get the picture — The Hatch is an incubator for wine.
