MOCOJO Winery has come a long way since opening in June 2014! They kicked things off with their signature Gewurztraminer and Viognier, quickly adding Marechal Foch and Malbec that fall. By spring 2015, their Rosé hit the scene and became a fan favorite, followed by Merlot later that year. With production booming, they swapped our B&B space for a larger tasting room, so while they may not host sleepovers anymore, they are thrilled to welcome thousands of visitors each summer to sip their wines and soak in the stunning views! Cheers to growth and great wine! Enjoy 4-5 wine tastings, with time to shop for your favorite wine!
Moraine Winery is a family-owned gem perched above Okanagan Lake, just minutes from Penticton. The stunning views from its unique shelf-like location on the Naramata Bench, framed by glaciated white clay cliffs, are just the beginning. Owners Oleg and Svetlana, who moved from Europe to Canada in 1995 for a better life, fell in love with the Okanagan and its vineyards, inspiring their move from Edmonton to start this wine adventure in 2009. Their belief that wine brings simple joy to life fuels their passion. Beyond great wine, Moraine Winery also gives back, donating a portion of tasting fees to Chalice, an international charity that helps cover medical expenses for children in need. Take in the stunning views of both lake and landscape. Enjoy 4-5 wine tastings, with time to shop for your favorite wine!
Three Sisters Winery is truly a family affair, dreamed up by me, Rebecca, my winemaker husband Matt, and my wonderful parents, John and Liz. After years in the wine biz, Matt’s wine knowledge (and charm) swept me off my feet, and we set down roots in Penticton to start our winery adventure. Our first vintage, made in a barn on my parents' vineyard, had family and friends hand-labeling bottles – it really takes a village! With rave reviews, we launched our own label, Three Sisters, a nod to both our vineyard's name and the trio of sisters in our families. Today, our wines balance elegance and approachability, perfect for porch-sipping or dinner parties alike. With a hands-off approach, we let the vineyard’s fruit shine through – wines that shout from the glass! Come join our extended "family" for a taste and a chat. Cheers! Enjoy 4-5 wine tastings, with time to shop for your favourite wine!
Lang Vineyards is popping the cork on 33 fabulous years of winemaking magic! As one of the oldest family estate wineries on the Naramata Bench, we’ve come a long way since Guenther Lang started out in his garage, launching as B.C.'s very first Farm Gate Vineyard back in 1990. From those humble beginnings to our celebrated boutique winery today, we’ve been toasting milestones and crafting exceptional wines. Join us in raising a glass as we celebrate three decades of deliciousness and look forward to many more! Thanks for being a part of our journey—cheers to the next 30 years! Here you will enjoy 4-5 complementary tastings with time to shop for wine!
Welcome to Ruby Blues, the coolest boutique winery on the gorgeous Naramata Bench in the South Okanagan! Our wines are crafted from Okanagan-grown grapes, mainly from our own local vineyards, capturing that unique regional charm. After selling Red Rooster Winery in 2008, owners Prudence and Beat decided they’d had enough of the paperwork and wanted to reconnect with the vines, wines, and people. And so, Ruby Blues was born! With its rock and roll vibe, delicious wines, and a sprinkle of local artisan goodies, it quickly became the go-to spot for a fun time on the Naramata Bench. We’re all about keeping things small and fabulous, just the way we like it! Enjoy 4-5 wine tastings, with time to shop for your favorite wine!
Deep Roots is a family-run gem nestled on the clay cliffs above Okanagan Lake on the Naramata Bench. With over a century of farming under their belt and four generations of know-how, they finally jumped into winemaking in 2012 and opened our tasting room in 2014. After years of selling their top-notch grapes to other wineries, they decided it was time to celebrate their own exceptional fruit by bottling it up ourselves. their wines are all about showcasing the pride they take in their vineyards and the quality fruit they produce. Cheers to family, tradition, and delicious wine!
The adventure kicked off in 2005 when Judy Kingston, a culinary enthusiast with a knack for fine wine, found herself on an Okanagan holiday and stumbled upon a charming orchard in Naramata. Inspired by the beauty of the place, she had her lightbulb moment: transform this orchard into a boutique vineyard! By spring 2006, the property was getting a makeover to create the perfect vineyard slope, and by 2007, Judy had planted a mix of Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc. The first harvest in 2009 was a triumph, showcasing her dedication and hard work. Fast forward to today, Serendipity Winery isn’t just about amazing wine—though it’s won awards like BC Winery of the Year—but also features a picturesque wineshop and a bistro serving seasonal delights. Judy and her daughter Katie, the head winemaker, greet visitors with open arms and a smile, making every visit a delightful discovery. Here you will enjoy 4-5 complimentary tastings with time to shop for your fav wine
The Joubert family, fresh from South Africa and brimming with their signature warm hospitality, launched Wesbert Winery in 2019, and it’s been a hit ever since! With their vineyard cradling five grape varieties and a location that’s a magnet for hikers, bikers, and beachgoers alike, it’s a hotspot for adventure and relaxation. The winery, just a stone's throw from the scenic Kettle Valley Rail Trail, boasts a charming wine shop, a cozy tasting room, and a lovely terrace. Here, the philosophy is hands-off: let the grapes shine and the Naramata terroir do its magic, resulting in wines that are perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. And if you think Wesbert is impressive now, just wait—since 2020, they've expanded with a second vineyard and a tantalizing array of new varietals, adding even more excitement to their already fantastic portfolio. Cheers to that! Here you will enjoy 4-5 complimentary tastings and shop for your favorite wine!
At Lake Breeze, where the winds dance across the bluffs and the Naramata Bench meets the sparkling waters of Lake Okanagan, we’re all about blending breathtaking beauty with top-notch winemaking.

With a passion for the land and a young winemaker’s vision guiding them, they’ve crafted a place where exceptional fruit meets minimal intervention, resulting in wines that truly express their origins. They are here to create memorable experiences, hoping each bottle you uncork brings you right back to our scenic slice of paradise. Cheers to that!

Harry, our tour driver, was absolutely wonderful. He explained our schedule and how important it was to stay on time. He was easy to approach, to talk to, and very professional! Nearly every stop was amazing, with exception of our very first. The wine expert at Serendipity wasn't the friendliness. She was the owner, but her daughter was usually the host, but was unavailable on this day. The owner seemed very authoritarian and made a comment, noticed by most people, that made us feel unwelcomed. Otherwise, the remaining wineries were fantastic. The lunch stop at Hillside was timed perfectly for length of time. We did not feel rushed and had plenty of time to have the lunch item we desired. The restaurant host staff were amazing with their service and knowledge. The food was wonderful. I'd certainly recommend this tour to my friends, without a doubt.
Gord was a great tour guide! We were so happy that the tour wasn’t cancelled since we were the only two who signed up. The wineries that we went to for the tastings were fantastic with a real good selection of great tasting wine and the winery where we had lunch was so nice and the food was amazing. We would recommend this tour to everyone. Diana (from Abbotsford) and Ann (from the Netherlands)
We had a very pleasant day touring 5 wineries. Some better than others 🙃. Doug was our driver; very friendly, unassuming & helpful with tips for the area.
Absolutely thrilled to hear you had a wonderful day exploring five wineries with us. It's always fun to discover your favourites along the way, and we're so glad Doug could help make it a smooth and enjoyable experience. He truly knows the valley and loves sharing little local gems.
