Interviewed and written by Allison and Chris Wallace for adVINEtures
We were delighted to have Allison and Chris Wallace sit down the creators of Rara Avis, Margarita and Igor Valou to learn in-depth about the wine and its story.
“We recently had the pleasure of discovering an innovative new wine project that is producing a delicious port style dessert wine. This wine is called Rara Avis, a Latin term meaning “rare bird”. This project was developed right in our own backyard: British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley.
Igor and Margarita Valou settled in the Okanagan Valley over 30 years ago. They are lovers of nature and things of beauty and recently acquired 30 acres in the Creighton Valley, a secluded region just east of the northern reaches of the Okanagan.”
