While there are many fabulous wineries around the lake in Naramata, we always preferred the Summerland Bottleneck Drive vinters!
Roie and Ruth are passionate wine makers and it really shows. We found this winery in 2012 when we first moved to the area, it is easily our favourite. Both with delightful patio whites and big bold reds, there is something for everyone.

Do try the home made Almond Roca dessert (it's a sharer).
