Gina Fernandes Harfman is celebrating the 15th anniversary of her winery by rebranding the Oliver Twist Estate Winery under the new name Nostalgia Wines.
When Harfman purchased Oliver Twist Estate Winery in 2012, she kept the name Oliver Twist, but created her own Nostalgia series to put her stamp on the business. With 2021 being the 15th anniversary of the winery, the time was right to finalize the change.
“Nostalgia Wines is more authentic and better connects to what we represent here,” Harfman says.
With the name change also comes modernized packaging that better reflects the wine quality, displayed on Nostalgia Wines’ three wine tiers: Nostalgia, Pin-Up, and the Family Collection.
Harfman is proud of her South Okanagan farming legacy, and the terroir of the region is in her blood: Harfman is the fourth generation from her paternal side, and the third generation from her maternal side, to sink their hands into South Okanagan soil.
In Harfman’s woman-owned and managed winery, she carries on her predecessors’ vision and traditions. She has chosen the name Nostalgia because for her, wine is about creating memories and making connections. She hopes people will forge new memories as they experience her wines.
“Nostalgia is something relatable to everyone,” she notes. “As everyone has memories.”
