JoieFarm Winery

We arrive back to one of our favourite wine tasting locations in Naramata bench.a definite warm welcoming with a very scenic view and atmosphere.the lake views are particularly lovely.our guided tasting experience certainly expanded our knowledge as each wine was discussed with an ease and clarity to bolster our understanding and knowledge.

Without sharing the details, there was a problem with an online order and, even though this issue was not caused by Joie, they more than stepped up to the plate to correct the problem. What amazing service by people who obviously love their trade but also genuinely care about their customers. Can't wait to go back and thank them face to face.

Always my favourite wine and winery in Naramata! Cute little place that has an amazing Noble Blend

Consistently my absolute favourite winery on the Bench. The wines are delicious, service is great and I love their food experiences. The fish & sips this summer is such a delicious alternative to the typical Bench eats. The rose slushy is the best slushy I’ve ever had. And I adore the picnic lawn, it’s a must to enjoy with a cold bottle of delicious perfectly chilled wine. I’ll be back again and again and again.

Third time back to Joie Farm. Love the wine! We have previously really enjoyed the laid back, chill atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Today’s visit left us cold. We felt like we were an inconvenience to the rep that guided us through the tasting. We picked up a flat of tiny bubbles that we’d pre-bought online and purchased several bottles. The rep assumed we were wine club members but when she realized we were not made us feel like we should be grateful that she did not charge us $15 each to taste maybe 3 wines. The whole experience left a bad taste and we longed for years past. I guess covid has changed this industry too; it’s not about broadening appreciation of craft wine, it’s about making a buck. Won’t be back. Such a shame.

Not only are the wines enjoyable (the Tiny Bubbles in cans were a surprise favourite), the scenery is also amazing. We did a tasting on the patio and appreciated the friendly service and staff. To top it off the visit to Joie, the rose slushie was so good we made a follow up trip to the Cidery.

Our favourite winery on the bench. We’ve been a member of their wine club for years and come back every time we’re in the area. Must try!

This was the first time I got to visit the Joie winery. I’ve been to Naramata multiple times in the past and Richard was by far the most knowledgeable wine persons I’ve ever met at a tasting. He was also entertaining and very informative. I hope more people get to experience his wine tastings as he does not often do them.
