After a little over year in operation, Northern Lights Estate Winery has already earned the highest of local accolades.

B.C.'s most northern winery took home four awards at the Prince George Chamber of Commerce's annual Business Excellence Awards Saturday night.

CEO Doug Bell was signalled out for his efforts, earning two new honorifics: Business of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year.

The winery was named business of the year and got the nod for tourism and hospitality too.

PG Recycling and Return-It Centre also had a big night, earning two awards for Environmental Awareness and Community Impact.

The other awards were handed to Northern Hardware & Furniture for Service Excellence, Play Grounds Caf for Innovator of the Year, Game Quest for Micro Business of the Year and Two Rivers Gallery for Outstanding Corporate Culture.

Kyle Sampson was named the Hell Yeah Prince George Ambassador as someone who demonstrates community pride and a commitment to making Prince George a positive place to live and work.
