What brings you joy?
Friendly faces, perhaps? How about a sense of community? Or maybe events? Landscapes? Ease of getting around? Delicious food? I know... a mouthful of approachable wine in the sun with your favourite furry friend, taking in stunning views while being tempted by the aromas of mouthwatering food being cooked not far from where you parked your bike. Sound too good to be true? Well, you're in luck because it is true, and it's oh-so-good!
JoieFarm Winery
Located here inNaramata, this is where joy is more than a name; it's an ethos. BJ Tumanut, who has been withJoie for seven years, is the definition of joy in human form.
"Okay, this might sound cheesy. It's true, though, so I don't mind. Our goal here at Joie is to bring joy to every moment and everything we do. Whether winemaking or interacting with the public, we constantly strive to connect with our community. Of course, we're proud of thequality of our wine, but it's really the quality of every interaction we have with people that best represents our culture. To me, joy is more than positivity. It's a key ingredient in who we are and has been part of our vision from the beginning."
An Irresistible Recipe
One cup of practicality, a cup and a half of flexibility, a splash of creativity, and a sprinkle of all things local. Mix these together. What are we left with? An irresistible recipe people can't get enough of.
With over twenty years in business and counting, it's safe to say that Real Things Pizza has more than the adequate amount of these ingredients needed to excite the taste buds and fill the bellies of anyone lucky enough to try one of their masterfully crafted pizzas.
"We're a local mom-and-pop pizza joint where the crust is as good as the toppings, and the unique variety exceeds expectations. Where the staff are made up of local teenagers eager to take on the logo as a local right of passage, making dough and slinging sauce. Where the delivery drivers don't mind bringing your order to you and your crew right at the beach. That's right, they deliver right to the beach! Biting into a Real Things Pizza is a great way to end your day and an experience you don't want to miss out on." ~ LaVonne Gould
...the end of Summer holidays doesn't mean the end of Summer. There are still a few weeks to go before the official changing of seasons, and the weather here in Naramata is as beautiful as ever. The sun is shining, the lake is warm, and everything is still open and operating as usual. In fact, the only difference from one week ago is the amount of people around. It's quiet, with all the benefits and amenities the busiest season has to offer, minus the crowds.
How wonderful is that? For the next few weeks, visitors to Naramata will get to enjoy their own private Summer.
It's like being at a concert where the rest of the audience has cleared out, leaving the band onstage to play a little longer just for you. Your own little encore.
And not only that, but we have something else we're excited to share with you. The cherry on top, if you will.
