“Beverly was a fantastic wine server in their cute tasting room right off the highway! She took me through the vintages and varietals of each wine she was pouring. These are very unique wines in flavour and style. I bought a bottle of Rose 2023, 100 percent Cab Franc which I think is the best grape in this valley. Thanks for the experience.“

A truly memorable visit.“
“We really enjoyed this enhanced winery experience. Our server took exceptional care of us, providing lots of personalized wine recommendations paired wonderfully with the nicely curated charcuterie board. We felt unhurried as we sat and enjoyed the afternoon under a lovely grapevine shrouded pergola. The wine was fabulous, hard to choose a favourite from the many delicious options.“
“We had such an amazing experience here! Our tasting was completely complimentary, and we were even treated to an extra pour, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Our host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about every wine we tried. You could really tell how passionate he is, and he took the time to answer all of our questions and make the experience fun and enjoyable. His friendly personality made us feel right at home. We left with a great appreciation for the wines and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this winery to anyone looking for a fantastic tasting experience!“

“When you need some harmony and balance in life try sipping VinAmité Cellars! Vin (French for wine); Amité (Norman Medieval English for Friend & harmony) you can extract the importance of savouring life with those close to you. This wonderful Canadian wine chapter began as a dream for Ray Coulombe whom enjoyed the Europeanesque ambience of Old Historic Montreal’s lively café and bistro scene sipping dreamy French wines during his advertising career. Beaujolais and darling wife Wendy stole his heart! Looking for a legacy gift for his daughters Catherine and Nathalie and bask in the fruits of his labour- why not bring Beaujolais to BC? Breathing life into existing 5 acre vineyard and creating the winery in 2013 his visions became reality. Winemaker Phil Soo (Noble Ridge, Dirty Laundry, Cassini, Silkscarf, Ruby Blues, Gold Hill, Bonamici) laid the foundation and mentored daughter Catherine who gracefully carried the French inspired focus from first vintage in 2018. A former haute caterer and fashion student, it was natural to pursue the art of winemaking and capture each wondrous season in a bottle. Today’s visit was spectacular! Nathalie’s art adorned the walls, Christmas charm of a Hallmark movie, the gentle aromas of fondue and baking filled the air and pièce de résistance- Catherine’s delicately crafted wines. A portfolio worth collecting and deserving of the finest restaurant menus! Also one of a few whose warmhearted personality, gentile nature and intrepid boldness is defined in each glass. 🏆❤️🍷⚜️ Through life’s triumphs and defeats, may you always be blessed with the comfort of “wine friends”. A “MUST VISIT” for enophiles, wine enthusiasts, foodies, or anyone seeking an authentic wine country experience! Events, rotating ciders, local beer on tap and Catherine’s epicurean delights.“
“This is my favourite winery. I come any time I’m in the area. The wines are delicious. The seating and views are gorgeous. You are treated like family. It’s a fun and feel-good place with great wine!“

Utilizing the beautiful coveted Black Sage Bench terrior for a simple, sustainable portfolio allowing the land to express itself- Domaine Artema Winery is purely the Old World tradition in BC. Prized possession old vine and award winning Gamay is the focus along with Chardonnay in Village Label and Cru… and also sparkling! Winemaker Stefanie Dylla (Brock University, New Zealand, Laughing Stock) excitedly carries the torch of industry favourite Anthony Buchanan’s touch and adds her own sensational signature. If you have enjoyed Laughing Stock Vineyards Chardonnay I assure you will be stunned with her Chardonnay Cru (reminiscent of Burgundy trained and Meursaultesque ROCHE wines 2020 Chardonnay). Her delightful Gamay is creatively alike Maison Joseph Drouhin (a personal favourite). Thank you for the special invite Stefanie!

“Visited the winery today for the first time with my wife and 2 friends. Jack was our wine server for the tasting and he was articulate and dazzled us with his expansive knowledge of wines and his wit. The wines were good to very good and we left with several bottles of Ava and Cuvee Sereine. An enjoyable experience and I recommend to this winery to others“
“We had an amazing experience at Platinum Bench Winery! Our group of 10 was lucky enough to have Kayla lead our tasting, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so gracious, welcoming, and accommodating to our large group, making everyone feel comfortable and included from the moment we arrived.
Kayla was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought such a fun energy to the tasting. She made the experience memorable with her great passion for the wines. One of the highlights was getting to enjoy Platinum Bench's incredible fresh bread during the tasting. The bread was absolutely delicious and added a unique, fun touch to the experience, pairing perfectly with the wines.
Our entire group had an incredible time, and it was one of the highlights of our weekend. Thank you, Kayla, for making our visit so enjoyable. We can't wait to come back!“

“We just had the most exceptional time at La Stella. It was recommended from a family member and it did not disappoint. Al greeted us in the parking lot and began chatting us up. His energy was awesome and service incredible - felt like greeting an old friend. Our wine tasting was impeccable and we left with a wonderful bottle of Merlot. Shared interests in Area 27 made it extra special. We will be back and sharing with everyone. Thanks!!“
