News from Scout supporter JoieFarm

Naramata, BC | In analyzing client feedback and media coverage over the past several years, our clients and colleagues have told us that they love JoieFarm wines, but have difficulty accessing them. In order to address this problem  we have decided to make our wines available year round (based on availability) via our website.

Our wines must be ordered in denominations of 12 (all one wine or mixed based on availability) for safe shipping. The wines will be shipped by courier only. We are not able to accommodate pickups in Vancouver (except for our annual Spring release) or from our winery. For a number of logistical reasons we strongly encourage that all wine deliveries are made to a business address.  The cost of shippping within BC is $25/case for the first case, $10/case for each additional case.  The wine is shipped in a special wine shipper for safe travel.   The store is only available to Canadian customers. All transactions are made through a secure server so your privacy is guaranteed.

Wines Currently Available for Purchase Online:

JoieFarm “A Noble Blend” 2008  –  $23.50/btl
JoieFarm Un-Oaked Chardonnay 2008 –  $22.50/btl

About JoieFarm Wines

JoieFarm is owned and operated by Heidi Noble & Michael Dinn and is located on their farm on the beautiful Naramata Bench in the Okanagan Valley in the interior of British Columbia. JoieFarm is interested exclusively in the grape varieties of Alsace, Burgundy and Champagne which excel in the cool-climate, desert landscape of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. We are particularly interested in making these wines because not only are they wines that we love and enjoy drinking, but we feel these varieties thrive and are relevant in our area. As young winemakers at the forefront of a new wine region, we are interested in exploring the potential and synergy between these aromatic varietals and their role in distinguishing the culinary West Coast of Canada as an emerging and unified cuisine.
