Kettle Valley Winery

The inspiration for our name is the famed Kettle Valley Railway which ran through Naramata between 1915 and 1961 connecting the Southern Interior of British Columbia to the markets of the Pacific Northwest.

Passion and a dedication to excellence were requirements for building the railway, and we at Kettle Valley feel that same passion and dedication for our Red Wines which are known for their dark, intense, and well structured natures; and our White Wines that are flavourful and aromatic with a rich mouth feel.

Get to Know Us

By 1987 we had decided on the Naramata Bench after looking virtually everywhere else in the southern Okanagan. We felt our grapes were going to thrive best with the soil combinations, late day sun and cooling breezes off the lake.

We bought some property on a crooked road that the kids nick-named Rattlesnake Road, and planted our first blocks of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This was to become the basis for our style of intense full bodied reds and whites – but we didn’t know that yet.

We started out wine making as a hobby. And thirty three years after our first vintage it really still is, because if you think about it, a hobby is something you love to do – and for us that is making wine.

Our Approach

As our winery has grown so has our philosophy of wine making, drawing from the experiences we’ve had right back to wine making in Tim’s apartment. We have come to understand that for us, the quality, individuality and fully ripe flavours of the grapes are the factors that are most important to us in our wine making‚ and our wines.

To that end we have been constantly learning, experimenting and pushing the envelope. And in our minds at least, we have been getting better and better. We hope you agree.
