Wineries in Millarville, Alberta

Spirit Hills Flower Winery is a distinctive Canadian winery that has redefined what wine can be. Rather than relying on traditional grapes, the winery crafts award winning flower wines from the wildflowers, honey, and berries of the Rocky Mountain Foothills, creating exquisite culinary wine experiences that bring joy, romance, and relaxation to everyday life.

The story begins with the Bonjean family, who hail from a lineage of French winemakers with vineyards still operating in central France. In 1997, the family settled with their three children in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and have lived off the land ever since, growing their own food organically and embracing a self sufficient way of life. From their love of the land grew a truly unique flower winery whose wines are rooted in Alberta's culture and identity.

Spirit Hills layers the flavour elements of traditional grape wine into entirely new wines made from the wildflowers of its terroir. The result is a collection of red, white, rose, sangria, and mulled flower wines celebrated for their body, complexity, structure, and long, velvety smooth finish. These flower wines are served in some of the finest dining establishments in the world, including Michelin star restaurants across Europe, Asia, and North America, and they have earned high praise from award winning sommeliers and acclaimed chefs.

Quality guides every step of the Spirit Hills process. From premium wildflower nectar and carefully tended black currants to hand picked dandelion and wild rose petals, no effort is spared. Bees are treated as valued team members, harvesting nectar that is dried and stored as honey, which is then rehydrated and fermented in the cellar. Some wines age in oak barrels while others rest in stainless steel or in the bottle, all finished on a fully automated bottling line using the highest quality cork and packaging. Open year round, the winery welcomes visitors for tours and tastings and offers a warm, memorable experience that reflects the purity and passion of the Alberta foothills.
