There’s a particular kind of quiet that settles over a vineyard in the golden hour, and it’s the reason I filmed this video with Debussy’s Beau Soir playing underneath. It’s one of my favourite pieces of music, tender and unhurried, and it felt like the only possible soundtrack for where I was standing.

That “where” was Phantom Creek Estate Winery in Oliver, British Columbia — hands down one of the most beautiful wineries I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Oliver carries the nickname “the wine capital of Canada,” and after spending an afternoon wandering these grounds, I understand exactly why. Between the mountains framing the valley and the vines rolling out in every direction, it’s the kind of place that makes you stop talking for a minute, just to look. I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen anywhere in the world.

Scattered through the property are a series of striking sculptures, and I couldn’t leave without mentioning them. They’re the work of artist Wu Ching Ju, part of a piece called Pro Terra et Natura — “For Earth and Nature” — one of only three sets the artist has created. Coming across them among the vines added something almost meditative to the whole visit, a quiet dialogue between art and landscape that matched the music perfectly.

A huge thank you to @PhantomCreek for having us and letting us capture a little piece of what makes this place so special. And thank you to Anna Kova Dress Rental for the stunning white dress — it felt like exactly the right thing to be wearing on an afternoon like this one.
