Chris Tolley is the winemaker and co-owner of Moon Curser Vineyards. Chris holds a post-graduate degree in Viticulture and Oenology from New Zealand’s Lincoln University, and is known for his success in working with unusual (in BC) grape varieties like Tannat, Tempranillo and Dolcetto. Chris and Beata Tolley purchased the 6-acre home property, a former fruit orchard, in the spring of 2004 and set about transforming it into one of the most intriguing and adventurous wine producers in the Okanagan. Chris’s extensive research and interest in wines not yet planted in BC at the time was the main driving force behind Moon Curser’s decision to go out on a limb and plant grape varieties that, while proven to deliver premium wines in other parts of the world, were unknown and untried in the Okanagan.

Chef Chris Van Hooydonk is a chef with close to 20 years of experience in the high-end culinary industry. Chris’s love of his craft inspired him to pursue a long-anticipated dream - a farm-based intimate dining room. Located on a 2-acre hobby orchard property on the beautiful “Golden Mile” in Oliver, BC, a farmhouse turned Chef’s Table has become a dream turned reality in 2014. Surrounded by vineyards, old growth heritage fruit trees and garden beds, menu inspiration is drawn from the seasonal bounty. It's an awe-inspiring place to be and dine. We are huge fans of Backyard Farm! More about Backyard Farm.
