Winery & Brewery Cooling Systems
Glycol chillers, fermentation temperature control, and barrel room cooling for the Okanagan's wineries, cideries, and craft breweries.
Wine Country Refrigeration
Cooling Built for the Okanagan's Producers
Temperature is everything in winemaking and brewing. A fermentation that runs hot, a barrel room that swings ten degrees, a glycol loop that fails during crush — any of them can cost you a vintage or a batch you can't get back.
Smith Refrigeration designs, installs, and services process cooling for wineries and breweries from Naramata to Osoyoos. We're based in Penticton, in the middle of wine country — which matters most in September, when a cooling problem can't wait for a technician from Kelowna or the coast.

Crush Season Is the Wrong Time to Find Out
Your chiller runs hardest exactly when you can least afford a failure. Book a pre-harvest system checkout in summer — we test capacity, controls, glycol condition, and refrigerant charge so September is about the fruit, not the equipment.
FAQ
Winery & Brewery Questions
Can you help size a glycol system for our production?
Yes. We design and size glycol chiller systems based on your tank count, volumes, and fermentation schedule — and plan headroom for growth so you're not replacing the system in three years.
What happens if our chiller fails during fermentation?
Call 250-488-6860 — the line answers 24/7. Fermentation cooling failures are true emergencies and we treat them that way, especially during crush.
Do you work with small producers?
Absolutely. From a two-tank cidery to a large estate winery, we scale the system — and the budget — to your operation.
Which areas do you serve?
All of Okanagan wine country: Naramata Bench, Penticton, Summerland, Okanagan Falls, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, and the Similkameen.
