Moraine Estate Winery

Moraine Estate Winery, perched along the sun‑drenched slopes of the Naramata Bench in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, is a vibrant expression of place, passion, and the remarkable potential of Canadian wine. Named after the region’s glacial soils, the winery embraces the unique geology that shapes its vineyards—ancient mineral deposits, warm days, cool nights, and a landscape carved by time itself.

Founded with a commitment to crafting wines that honour the land, Moraine has become known for producing elegant, fruit‑driven wines that balance purity, freshness, and a distinct sense of terroir. Under the thoughtful direction of its winemaking team, the winery showcases a portfolio that ranges from bright, aromatic whites to structured, expressive reds—each bottle reflecting the character of the Naramata Bench and the meticulous care behind every decision.

Grapes are sourced from estate vineyards rooted in glacial till and silt, where the combination of slope, aspect, and soil composition creates ideal conditions for varieties like Pinot Gris, Viognier, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Syrah. This terroir‑first approach allows Moraine to craft wines that are layered yet approachable, refined yet vibrant, always guided by the natural rhythm of the valley.

Every wine from Moraine Estate Winery tells a story of the Okanagan’s dramatic landscape—its ancient geology, its modern innovation, and its growing reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting wine regions. It is a celebration of craftsmanship, place, and the quiet magic that happens when nature and intention work in harmony.
