“ROCHE wines’s story weaves love, authentic French wine making tradition and an adventurous move to the Okanagan. Dylan Roche (Burgundy, Chablis, New Zealand, Margaux) an avid cyclist wished to pursue becoming a cycle mechanic and tour guide in the idyllic countryside of Burgundy in 2000. Serendipitously, the alluring life of winemaking converted him to officially train in Beaune (2003). Pénélope Furt-Roche (6th generation Bordeaux winemaker of Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Spain, New Zealand, Australia,Tasmania) grew up at the esteemed family estate in Bordeaux and at a young age learned the exquisite French tradition of winemaking with her Father Didier. The two merged paths in New Zealand whilst discovering Hawkes Bay during harvest and fell in love (original Hallmark story). They chased each back to France, started a life and both continued their wine journey in Bordeaux. In 2010, the family decided to sell the estate and with a leap of faith the vignerons couple wanted to pursue a dream of their own… Roche Wines! New transplanted they found their desired location in 2011 and commenced various projects to assist them to their final goal in 2017. Being organic, with hands-on farming, focused on sustainable practices and paired with unique Okanagan terroir Roche Wines has quickly excelled. Within their 5 years, Dylan and Pénélope have received BC Lieutenant Governor Awards, Highlighted in Decanter Magazine, high accolades from Jancis Robinson MW/London and wines are currently in most of BC’s TOP restaurants. Equally impressive is family friend and Award Winning Veteran winemaker Dwight Sick (Stag’s Hollow, Moraine Estate Winery, Chain Reaction, Seven Stones) whom has a stunning collaboration with Roche- Amulet Series. His glimpse of the Rhône features highly acclaimed and sought after Viognier/Marsanne, Grenache/Syrah blends. Together, this quaint and unsuspecting winery is a truly authentic slice of the BEST of France (Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace, Rhone) in our beloved wine country! 🏆❤️🍷🥂🍇🇫🇷“
“Honestly, the wines speak for themselves. They are truly delicious. Crafted and served with passion. ❤️. Oh yeah, the view was also spectacular !“
“Loved our visit here. Stellar setting - one of the BEST in BC's wine country. Karen was an utter delight, sharing interesting info not only about the wines, but vines, Africa, and many other topics. We most enjoyed The Fizzy One and brought a couple home. Great that they waive the tasting fee with purchase. Don't miss the self-serve fridge of wines, other beverages, and cheeses - yum. Make sure you walk through the vines to see those gorgeous grapes up close.“
“The owners are absolutely wonderful and their depth of knowledge is fantastic!! The Wine is truly second to none!“
“We were looking for a wine tasting in the region and this was the only winery we could find that was open (Dec 22nd 2025).
It was out first time here and no disappointment! The lady was really polite and kind. They charge $15 for a tasting of 5 wines or 4 sparkling wine. The good news is that they waive the tasting fee if you buy a bottle, which is a great deal.
Wines were good and tasting included a detailed explanation of each wine.
I recommend coming here for a great tasting!

“Fabulous wines, fabulous tasting room.“
“Visited on Victoria Day Monday.
Our hosts were Fred and Vicki and we had a wonderful time here.
This is a boutique winery which only produced around 6000 cases a year, so their wines are not available on an everyday retail store shelf.
For a small winery, they produce an astounding array of wine. Our favorites were Tempranillo, Albarino and Teroldego.
The property is beautiful and having our tasting out on the wide veranda overlooking the vineyard was so special.
We will definitely be back in August with guests!“
“My folks and I had an AMAZING experience. Huge THANK YOU to Blake and Bobby!! You both were fantastic and absolutely kind. The welcoming atmosphere was fantastic from start to finish. My family is picky, but we were all astounded by the quality of wine and the experience provided. We learned so much and are super grateful for our experience. Thank you! :)“
“Absolutely amazing experience! The wine was phenomenal, and the service was even better. Aaron in the tasting room made our visit unforgettable—he was super knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. You can tell he loves what he does, and it made the tasting so much more enjoyable and fun! This winery is a must‑visit, and I’ll be back again and again.“
“Stopped in for a tasting this past week and were quite impressed. Nicole did a great job of describing the flight of wines we were able to taste. We also enjoined meeting and chatting with a few of the owners who happened to be in the tasting room. Only suggestion is that it would be nice to be able to purchase a few simple nibbles to enjoy while tasting the wines. We did drive away with a selection of several bottles to enjoy with friends following our vacation.“
“What an unforgettable experience! We reserved a table for a tasting, and our host Larry was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. And the wine… wow! Every bottle we tried was exceptional. Let’s just say, it was a challenge finding enough room in the truck for all the wine we brought home!“
“Amazing experience. The girl we had (of ethnic background) was soo kind and funny and knowledgeable. Absolutely loved her! Will go back again!“
“Great location for live music! Very welcoming and laid back atmosphere“
“Valerie and Stephen were a joy to work with. Sanitation and organization in the cellar were top notch, and Valerie executed winemaking instructions for my clients perfectly. Great communication and well equipped winery and lab ideal for producing small lot premium wines. I would recommend BC Wine Studio & Carter Wine Co to anyone looking for a quality full service custom crush facility.“
“We visited this winery 20 years ago when it just opened. We love the Boho, relaxed vibe back, then, and it endures still just like the VW van out front. Some very yummy wines to try in a relaxed manner. No tasting fee, which is nice. And if you decide not to buy a bottle, they encourage you to give a donation to the naramata school.
There are some nice outdoor tasting places and a little picnic area or you could bring some food and enjoy alongside their great wine.“
“Beautiful view. Very nice wine. The food was excellent and very fairly priced for the quality and portion sizes. We will definitely be back!“
“Don’t be confused but the name and photos being more focused on the guest house. This is an INCREDIBLE winery, one of our favourites in the area and we always make a point to stop here. The wines are great if you enjoy Italian reds and dessert wine.
It feels like you are having a wine tasting in a friends beautiful backyard. Games set up for kids and an incredible sandwhich truck which is a must try.“
“Wonderful small winery. We were taken excellent care of by Angela, and by the winery dog Chris Helmsworth. She explained the winemaker if left to his own devices would grow only Pinot noir and chardonnay - both of which the winery excels in. But when the owners purchased the property there was a field of gewurztraminer, which the have kept as a legacy. See photo of the wines we tasted. The chardonnay from Washington was lighter, while the home grown ones were just to our liking. Just a hint of vanilla from a short time in oak and lively fruits on the palate. Of the pinots the McLean Road '23 had classic Pinot characteristics, and was ready to drink now or hold. The Micro Cuvée '23 had firm tannins, and while still a pleasure to drink now, will be good to age for a few years.
The winery ships anywhere in Canada, and has a wide variety of options to choose from: 4 or 12 wines per shipment, and either chardonnay or Pinot or both. Also a 10% discount on all wines purchased. We opted for the mixed 4 pack.
BTW the winery was #2 Small winery in Canada, and #3 winery in BC in 2025 NWAC.“
“I work in the wine industry and the wines and tasting experience I had at Blasted Church Winery with my host Abby was exceptional in every way: friendly customer service and knowledge, amazing wines, vista views and a pride in our world renowned wine industry.“
“my absolute favorite wine! when on Vancouver Island it's the only wine I buy! wish they sold to the USA...❤️🥰❤️🥂“
“Beautiful view, great food & wines.“
“My wife and I truly enjoy this winery — the My wife and I truly enjoy this winery — the wines are absolutely delicious, which makes choosing a favourite nearly impossible! We recently brought relatives here for a sit-down tasting experience, and Krista was our guide. She absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Krista curated thoughtful side-by-side comparisons that showcased the differences between vintage years, helping us appreciate the subtle nuances in each wine. She was incredibly engaging, sharing the background and history of the vineyard and winery with genuine enthusiasm. Her knowledge of the wines was impressive and added so much to the experience.
We love this winery’s story, their logo, and especially their motto: “Dreams don’t come true; dreams are made true.” It perfectly reflects the heart and effort behind everything they do.
We always look forward to returning and highly recommend bookmarking this winery when you’re in the region. If you can, try to book a patio tasting — the views are amazing and make the experience even more memorable. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We’re so happy that we stopped here today!!! Such good wines and cheese and @Landon Ketterer was such a delight to interact with too: knowledgeable, friendly, personable!!! To anyone passing by, please do yourself a favour and stop at the Upper bench, you won’t regret it!!!“
“Generous pours, exciting variety. Not all were winners but there are so many to try you will find something. The Viognier and Tawny were exceptional. Pricing for tasting and bottles almost unbelievable for the quality. Not a huge fan of the reds but just personal preference. Service was perfect. We will be back.“

“So , like many of us locals , I have been driving past this place for several years , assuming that there is no way on earth you can buy even remotely decent wine for 100$ a case.
How wrong I was.
I was there for a different reason than the wine , had a meeting with the owner.
After our business was done , he invited us in for a tasting, and my wife and I were blown away. Pieter and his lovely parents treated us like family , gave us an extensive tasting selection , and we left with a case of mixed reds , whites , and a few of their fruit based wines at amazing prices. Also , out back was a large patio with views over skaha lake , will definitely be going back in the summer.
Thanks Pieter!“
