The vineyards of St Hubertus and Oak Bay are some of the oldest in the Okanagan Valley.Movie Valley of the Vine from 1967 In 1984 Leo Gebert, originally from Switzerland, came to the Okanagan to start a winery. Two years later his younger brother Andy joined him. Since 1984 the Gebert Family has used sustainable & since 2017 PACS "Canadian Organic Standards" (transitional status) farming practices on their 76 acre vineyard to produce wines that reflects the terroir of the north Okanagan Valley under the St Hubertus (50 acres) & Oak Bay (26 acres) labels. This was officially recoginized in 2005 through the Environmental Farm Plan.
