JENNIFER TURTON-MOLGAT
President
Since 2006 Jennifer Turton-Molgat has proudly led The View Winery and Wards Cider to success in her role as President. Jennifer’s vision and inspiration for the winery and cidery is drawn from her family’s passion for the land as pioneering Kelowna orchardists and agriculturists since 1922.
Under Jennifer’s guidance The View Winery has become one of the Okanagan Valley’s most tasted and visited boutique wineries – renowned for its exceptional aromatic whites, expertise in crafting quality Pinotage and its sexy red shoe label. With her effervescent and creative style, Jennifer leads all aspects of The View Winery’s operations and teams including vineyard, orchard, cellar, sales, marketing and guest services.
When she is not busy at the winery, Jennifer pursues her equally important passions including her family and equine friend Lazarro.
The red shoe on the label? It’s hers! See her story…

KRISTY FRENCH
Winemaker
Kristy grew up in Swan Valley, Western Australia surrounded by agriculture. From early on Kristy was enamored with the scientific process of making wine and started picking grapes for extra income on weekends and during summer break along with training racehorses.
Her love of science, art and the great outdoors lead her to complete a Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Oenology at Western Australia’s Curtin University Wine Excellence Centre in 2005.
A year later Kristy moved to Canada to begin her career in the beverage industry and in 2013, she joined the team at The View Winery. With her love of the outdoors and passion for making great wine and cider the Okanagan seemed a natural place to settle and for that we are grateful.
Now a mom of three busy kids, Kristy continues to develop new, exciting beverage combinations and hone her skill in the technical field of Oenology.
