Apricus Cellars, situated in Oliver, BC, is a winery that emphasizes the unique climate and soil of the South Okanagan. The name "Apricus" is derived from a medieval Latin word meaning 'basking in sunshine' and 'delectable,' encapsulating the essence of their wines and the environment in which they are produced.
