Reviews for JoieFarm Winery in Naramata, BC
Can’t say enough about the helpful service and knowledge. Canned wine is surprisingly lovely, although I know that can sound... off putting. It was very tasty and convenient. Back garden area was well set up, stunning beautiful, and well shaded if you needit! The $25 tasting fee is extremely steep and the only way you’d see that money again is if you join the wine club, they’llput those fees against your membership. Read more
The wine is amazing. The lady serving our tastings was new and definitely still just regurgitating information, which is fine... and understandable. What bothers me and my friends is that the tastings were $25 each, and only waived if you join theirmembership. When asked about it they say it’s to recuperate costs from covid but I think it’s just greedy at this point. Ithink they should charge the same as everyone else on the bench- $10-$15 for tastings and wave the charge if a bottle ispurchased. I do not recommend bothering with the tastings and getting ripped off. Just buy their flagship bottle (as it is quitegood) and move on to another, more fair, winery Read more
Mixed feelings about this place. Wines & quality - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Service - 1/5 Value for money - 2/5 The wine is... pretty spectacular, not going to lie. The pizza & picnic area was stunning & picturesque! They also have canned wine for yourconvenience without compromising quality. But the endless, rambly & pushy spiel about becoming a wine club member was a littlemuch. They also have outrageous tasting fees that aren't waved with a purchase of wine. Additionally, only some wines areavailable unless you fork over the cash to be a wine club member. I get it's The Bench & inflation is real, but my most recentexperience has been tainted based on their business model. :/ Read more
One word: pretentious. A very friendly host welcomes us and served us a ok Rose and took us outside for a "difficult"... conversation: Tasting fee (not-refundable with wine purchase) was $25. Spent a lot of time talking fast about "wine club" - welike trying and buying different wines - we cannot drink 12-bottles from one winery (zero interest). Instead of having a "goodexperience" we bought a bottle and some cans and left - never to return - never to recommend. Read reviews after raving about"Pizza" and patio, which we was not mentioned or marketed to us in the long spiel. Wine restricted to "members only". Seemsmore people come for the pizza than the wine. No price or details (menu) on website for food. Strange. Communication problems. Read more
The guys really hit the nail on the head. Amazing experience curated by the team and atmosphere, every detail true to the... concept. Ultra friendly and welcoming, again great atmosphere, the wines energetically described. Super tasty wines!! A mustvisit!! Read more
A must stop in Naramata for lunch. The pizza is amazing and so is the wine. A bunch of picnic table spots for a lovely outdoor... meal. Kind staff. Read more
We have been to Joie Farm Winery several times over the past year. Each visit has been wonderful. Our tasting experiences were... conducted by staff members who were friendly, knowledgeable and totally engaged. I really enjoy their wines, particularly therosé, viognier, un-oaked chardonnay, PTG and pinot noir. On top of all of that, the views from the property are fabulous!Nothing could be better than an afternoon in the picnic area eating pizza and drinking a bottle of Joie! Read more
