Our Charitable Vision

We at Dark Horse Estate Winery pride ourselves on supporting our local communities.  We strive to provide delicacies and merchandise to our visitors, that showcase the variety of quality selections offered in our region. Supporting local is extremely important, now more than ever.  We support local charitable causes aimed at improving health, culture, education, and the environment.  Our focus is on supporting organizations that impact our region where our employees and vendors live and work.  It is an honour to have been able to support so many different charitable organizations and events throughout the years.  Our company is always looking for ways to give back and further enrich our community.
