Where was Raise a Glass to Love filmed? The Vineyard House Location
Posted by Ra Moon
Hallmark's Fall Harvest program is traveling on this occasion to the heart of Sonoma County in Northern California, the world-famous valley wine region.
However, Raise a Glass to Love was almost entirely filmed in and around Kelowna in British Columbia.
Canada also has its own vineyards, growing in the picturesque Okanagan Valley, bordering the north-central area of the U.S. Washington State.

The romantic comedy revolves around Jenna Savern (played by Laura Osnes) who is returning to her grandmother’s winery to focus on passing a difficult exam to realize his dream of becoming a Master Sommelier.
Jenna will meet Marcelo Castillo (Juan Pablo Di Pace), the vineyard’s handsome new winemaker from Argentina. Renowned Master Sommelier and wine consultant, Jennifer Huether, makes a cameo role in the movie.
Welcome to Savern Vineyard and our guide to the filming locations of Raise a Glass to Love.
In the movie, the Savern Vineyard is located somewhere in Sonoma, but the production was filmed in British Columbia’s gorgeous Okanagan Valley.
The Canadian grape-growing location is not as glamorous as its Californian counterpart, but Okanagan boasts more than 130 great wineries making the most of the distinct soil and climate conditions of this blessed land.

According to Wines of Canada, around the year 2006, the Reimers, who are a Winnipeg native family dedicated to the transportation business, decided to plant the vineyards basically because they thought that they would look good on this beautiful property.
They engaged two masters of wine for advice and aimed at quality and excellence. In 2015, the company produced a $70 Pinot Noir, the most expensive Okanagan Pinot Noir to date.
Some more scenes were filmed in Kelowna, the pleasant capital city of the valley, inhabited by only about 142,000 souls.
The town is located on the shores of the charming Okanagan Lake, surrounded by scenic orchards and vineyards from the booming wine industry.
The lake has its own equivalent of the Loch Ness monster, called the Ogopogo.

The picnic in the park scene was filmed at the City Park Rhapsody Plaza, situated by the lake in downtown Kelowna.
In the movie, they say that there are only 190 Master Sommeliers in the world, but BinWise reports that in 2019 there were actually 269. Only 23 of them are female Somms.

The movie also features establishing shots filmed in San Francisco. However, in Hallmark Channel movies like Journey of My Heart, the few scenes set in the big city are usually filmed in Vancouver or the studios located there.
To get ready for the film, the lead actors trained their wine-sipping skills in tasting tours, sunset sips, and vineyard strolls visiting several iconic cellars in the Okanagan Valley.
We will update this report with more details about the locations of the movie. Stay tuned for updates on this page as more juicy details are unearthed!
