Get to know Moraine Estate Winery

Moraine is a family-owned winery located on the lovely Naramata Bench. Established in 2011, Moraine is proving to be a real gem in the BC wine industry. Producing high quality wines with great value, Moraine’s wines are definitely worth getting to know better. Their New Zealand-trained winemaker, Jacqueline Kemp, was brought on board in 2012; under her experienced tutelage, Moraine’s wines are garnering some impressive accolades.

The Moraine Riesling is one of the most awarded wines in the province and makes them the only BC winery to win a Platinum Award at the Wine Press Northwest Platinum Competition. Their Pinot Noir won one of the three Double Gold medals awarded at the 2015 International Pinot Challenge, pitted against numerous other wineries from Canada, the US, and around the world. If you want to get to know more about Moraine’s wines, now is your chance! Join us for a fabulous, informative tasting at our new venue, the Water St. Cafe. Wines being poured at the tasting include:
