The Naramata Bench bathed in sunshine with cooling lake breezes and optimal temperatures creates a premier grape growing region in Canada.
The rolling hills and variable soils with a range of microclimates and terroir produce a variety of premium grapes - Reds include Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Malbec. Whites also thrive in the Naramata terroir including Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

We had a great private tour and a great day. Visited 5 wineries and had some interesting wine. Christian was our tour guide and he was exceptional. Informative and patient. Highly recommend. Thank you for a great day.

Great experience, we started out knowing a little about wine and nothing about Naramata and the Naramata bench. It was very informative and as we went Frank was able to adjust a few details and customize the experience to suit our wants. The restaurant Frank chose for us had an incredible view along with great food. The winery’s that were recommended by Frank had great wine selections, and Frank helped us carry the cases of wine we purchased along the way. The four shadows was our favourite winery, I would recommend this tour for a large variety of wineries and a great date idea.

My friends and I booked the Naramata full day wine tour as part of our little getaway. Our guide was Brian, and he was with us for the full duration of the tour. We had the best experience! Brian was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind to carry our many wine bottles back to the shuttle for us. All the wineries we visited were amazing and our lunch spot at Poplar Grove was the perfect choice. I would recommend Sagebrush tours to all my friends!

Booked the Naramata wine tour for my wife’s birthday. Frank picked us an on time and off we went. Had the entire tour to ourselves which wasn’t a surprise given Covid and all and it’s is off season. We had 4 tastings lined up and since we were running a bit ahead of schedule Frank squeezed in another tasting free of charge. We ended up buying a couple of cases of wine to help support the local wineries and had a great time in the process. Will definitely call Sagebrush best time we are looking for a tour which is often as we have lost of friends who come to visit us here in the Okanagan. Awesome job Frank! Thanks again for a great day.

Frank and his company were very accomodating and professional when I needed to change the reservation 3 times. Dale was our driver and he went above and beyond. The lunch spot that was pre booked didn't interest us because of the menu. He called around and found an amazing place to have lunch. How nice to tour and drink and not have to worry about driving. A private tour for 2 plus he carried the case of wine to our vehicle at the hotel. A perfect day!!! Thank you!

Travelled to Penticton and enjoyed the "4 wineries in 3 hours" Naramata Bench tour in late September. Frank, the owner (?), was a great driver and knowledgeable about the area. It was only 3 of us, and he personalized the tour for our best experience. We were happy with the tour and "going the extra mile" that Frank did for us that filled the 3 hours. Pick up and drop off in the branded van at the door of our hotel. Booked the tour online, which was easy to do. Booked the night before so was happy the service was available with the short notice.
Suggestions for travellers:
- ask what wineries you're going to first, before leaving. Know what you don't want to do, and perhaps they can accommodate.
- understand that the tasting fees are covered by the tour company, but the fee us usually waived if you buy wine at that winery... so if you buy all the wine, there isn't much of a deal for the price.

Frank was very friendly,knowledgeable and thorough during the tour we definitely enjoyed hearing the history of the area and local vineyards. We stopped for lunch at hillside bistro and while the food was good it was definitely not worth the hefty price tag especially with the upper patio being shut. Would highly recommend sagebrush as they provided an excellent experience through and through. My only tip/complaint is make sure you keep careful track of all wine purchases as we had a small mishap with a few bottles of wine.

This was my second tour with Sagebrush and I would recommend this tour company to everyone that I know. Steven is so knowledgable about the region and brings a great energy to the tour. Thoughtful experiences were included, like having a wine tasting outside with snacks provided by Steven. Our group was awesome and it was cool to meet people from around the world!
