Moraine Estate Winery

Moraine Estate Winery sits on the celebrated Naramata Bench, the narrow shelf of vineyards and orchards that runs along the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake between Penticton and the village of Naramata. Located at 1865 Naramata Road, the winery invites guests to get a taste of its view, and the setting delivers: the tasting patio looks out over vines toward the lake, with the kind of panorama that has made the Bench one of Canada's favourite wine touring routes. Moraine is open year-round for tastings, offered indoors in the tasting room or outside on the lake-view patio in fine weather, with options ranging from standard seated tastings to private VIP experiences for those who want a deeper dive. The portfolio is impressively complete for a small estate, spanning sparkling, white, rosé, red and dessert wines, along with library releases and wine-club exclusives that reward returning visitors. Quality has not gone unnoticed: WineAlign's National Wine Awards of Canada has ranked Moraine among the Top 10 Small Wineries in Canada and within the Top 25 wineries overall, placing it firmly among the Bench's standouts. The winery's name evokes the glacial history written into the Bench itself, whose soils and slopes were shaped by ice-age deposits that today give Naramata wines their character. For visitors, Moraine pairs naturally with a day along Naramata Road, where dozens of wineries, cideries and farm stands line a route also favoured by cyclists on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail above. Whether the goal is a quick flight of whites on the patio, a leisurely private tasting, or stocking the cellar with bubbles and reds, Moraine offers a quintessential Naramata Bench experience anchored by one of the area's loveliest lake views.
