About the Naramata Inn

Naramata Inn and its 12 exclusive period-style rooms are ready to provide visitors with a new standard of R&R&R. The third “R” is for that Restaurant you keep hearing about. From produce to proteins, the Restaurant will deliver an unrivaled “Naramatian” experience. Our menus are built around the best local growers and artisans in the Valley, and our wine selections showcase a breadth of award-winning British Columbian wines. And the views? Get outta here.

Led by top Canadian chef and Okanagan-born Ned Bell, the Restaurant at Naramata Inn will deliver a next-level, hyper-local dining experience. Throw in a stunning room and a passionate crew? Now you’re speaking “Naramatian”.

Known for his commitment to seasonal, sustainable menus (and his outgoing, all-in personality), Bell is utilizing his 30 years of expertise to showcase the unparalleled quality of the Valley. From produce to proteins, the menus will be built around the best local growers and artisans in Naramata.

The culinary team is further bolstered by powerhouse sous chefs Stacy Johnson and Minette Lotz—both Bell protégés and recent transplants from Vancouver. Because moving here is a common side-effect of visiting.

But what about the wine? Under the guidance of award-winning sommelier and wine director Emily Walker, our wine program will showcase the true depth and breadth of award-winning wines produced by British Columbia—and beyond.
