“Fabulous wines, fabulous tasting room.“
“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! 🏆❤️🍷🥂🍇🇫🇷“
“we we guided through a tasting by Kelsey. As we were there early on a Monday morning, we had the place to ourselves. They specialize in sparkling wines, and won the award as the best Sparkling wine producer in the 2025 NWAC. We tasted a few, and they were excellent. We also managed to snag one of the last bottles of their gerwurstraminer.“
“Moraine Winery has made it to my top 2 favourite in BC after one visit. Kim was phenomenal: she laughed with us, made us feel right at home, and gave us an amazing wine tasting. Their wines were truly so good, all achieving something different. It was hard to not go home with more than 2 bottles! We will definitely be back because of the amazing wine and because of Kim! Thank you Moraine Winery! PS spectacular views too!“
“This is a great surprise!!! Your drive up to this very unassuming winery,however, when you walk through the door and into the tasting room it oozes elegance. There are several beautifully appointed tables to be seated at for your tasting experience. We were served by Bonnie who was a great host! Full of great information about both the history and background of the winery, vineyards and the great wines. It was later in the afternoon when we stopped here so we were hungry, we were able to grab a small charcuterie player to help tie us over. The wines are exceptional we took home a variety of 9 bottles!! If you want a great experience and a great small family-run winery you need to stop here you will not be disappointed.“
“Every single wine is amazing ! Their service is amazing. 10000/10 would recommend. Every year they produce better wine. Thank you Black Widow Winery“
“Thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to do some wine tastings! Machelle was an amazing host sharing her awesome wealth of information on the grapes and history of the winery. I would recommend stopping in to enjoy a welcoming experience and try some fabulous wines! I was so impressed I joined the wine club!!“
“Lei Lei was amazing!!! I showed up with an impromptu tasting tour with my family and the three sisters accommodated us with no reservation which was awesome! Lei lei did our tasting and she was sweet and funny and perfect for our group and told us about the wines and tasting notes perfectly! Will be back again (The Rebecca sparkling is TO DIE for)“
“Beautiful view. Very nice wine. The food was excellent and very fairly priced for the quality and portion sizes. We will definitely be back!“
“Ok absolutely best winery on Naramata bench. The staff are out of this world kind and passionate and beautiful. The view and care put into the space is immediately recognizable. You can tell the owners here have been doing this for a long time and are very passionate about what they do.“
“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!“
“(review for winery only, though GoogleMaps thinks I must have stayed there!) We had a wonderful visit at D'Angelo, such a great surprise. Vince was charming and helpful in every way. We enjoyed everything we sampled, and walked away with both varietals of Dolce Vita, so delish and unusual. The food truck onsite with fabulous view was an added bonus. Can't wait to return.“
“Cathy was exceptional and gave great knowledge of the wines ! We have tried a few places and we are from Ontario but this place was by far my favourite wines !“
“Beautiful view, great food & wines.“
“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!!!“
“Our small group had a most enjoyable time at our wine tasting. Knowledgeable and friendly staff answered all of our questions and provided a truly wonderful experience.
Wines are tasty and prices are fair. A beautiful location which I strongly recommend.“
“We went to Laughingstock for a wine tasting today. Our server, Vera, was lovely but so busy we didn't have a great experience. Apparently reservations are recommended. We walked in and were seated. Vera brought us our samples and then had to run to another table. We waited a long time for our next sample of mediocre wine. I'd rather they told us they were too busy to properly accommodate us. We could have spent out time at another winery that could give us their time and attention.“

“We had such a great experience here! When we arrived, we were disappointed to find out there wasn’t food available — we were all hungry and had a bike ride ahead of us. Josh went above and beyond to take care of us, tracking down some incredible dim sum so we could eat before getting back on the road. The food was amazing, and the hospitality was even better. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, and the wines were excellent too. Truly outstanding service — thank you for turning our day around!“
“New favourite winery. Delicious wines. The selections for both red and white are very good and the bubbles are to die for. So glad we stopped to taste. All the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. The view from the tasting room is a dream.“
