Lock and Worth Winery
Family owned and operated using serious farming and hands off wine making. We are Matthew SherLOCK and Ross HackWORTH. We are also our wonderful seasonal and part time employees who get us through the crazy times.
Lock & Worth wines are honest, single vineyard wines of time and place. We strongly believe that one should be able to drink high quality, single vineyard, small production wines that are priced to drink any day.
Get to Know Us
We make honest, single vineyard wines of time and place – priced for everyday consumption, on the Naramata Bench. We strongly believe that one should be able to drink high quality, single vineyard (non-commodity), small production wines that are priced reasonably from British Columbia.
We plan to be around 20 years from now, not by becoming a large company but by creating a sustainable business within our community. For us part of that means making wines that always over deliver. We spend all of our money on our wines, not our marketing. We eschew heavy bottles, advertising and fancy labels.
Our Approach
In the winery we use old French Oak (not expensive) and have very little in the way of technology (still use basket presses). Every penny we save goes toward the quality of our wines and to keeping their prices stable.
Lock & Worth Winery shares a tasting room with Poplar Grove Cheese, so you can taste both our wines and Poplar Groves artisanal cheeses together.
