My Favourite Winery Isn’t Open Yet!
More wineries will be opening weekly - as most of our local wineries are small, local businesses, adjusting to new practices takes time and training for all staff. Check the Facebook page weekly to see the current list of who is open!
In addition to the list that Discover Naramata publishes, there are additional wineries who are members of the Naramata Bench Winery Association who also may be open (but not included on Discover Naramata’s list).
Be sure to check them out before you plan your wine touring day, to make sure you’ve included all the open possibilities! You’ll find their updated list of now-open wineries, which will also be updated on a weekly basis.
