Small lot winery. Open May through to Sept. Thursday to Monday 12-5pm. Terravista Vineyards was started in 2008 by Bob and Senka Tennant.

Producers of small-lot specialty white wines
Located on the Naramata Bench in BC's Okanagan Valley
Open daily 12:00 to 5:00 April until October or by appt. As a bit of history...Bob and Senka have been in the BC grape/wine industry for the past 16 years. Senka as winemaker and Bob as vineyard and business operator at their first business, Black Hills Estate Winery. In 2007, Black Hills was sold an

d Bob and Senka, not wanting to leave the industry, started looking for a small piece of property on which to establish a new vineyard and winery. Their idea was to concentrate on a couple of white grape varieties that had been attracting their interest. After extensive searching, a piece of property was found on the Naramata Bench about halfway between Penticton and Naramata. The property has a great southwestern slope with very rocky, sandy soils. In elevation it is above the heavier lake deposits characteristic of the lower benches. An excellent location to plant the white grapes varietals they wanted to grow. The original property name "Lone Hand Ranch" was retained as the vineyard operating name. The two chosen grape varieties for the home vineyard were Albarino and Verdejo - white grape varieties grown for 9 centuries in northwest Spain and Portugal. Over the next three years they were able to plant their vineyard as certified plant stock, sourced from California nurseries, became available. From these two varieties they are now producing the sensational white wine they call "FANDANGO"! Grapes purchased form a select few dedicated growers allow for the production of their other white wine. It is a delicious blend of the grape varieties Roussanne, Viognier and Marsanne that they call "FIGARO"! You are welcome to drop by and visit the winery facility that was constructed entirely of concrete and sits in a natural hollow in a corner of their farm. Tastings and sales are available May-Oct 12:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Part work, part optimism, part innovation and mostly small business and farming in the margins.

We bottled our 2025 En Terre Syrah and 2025 Mencia this week! 👀💃

Growing Wine: Idyllic to Vulnerable. Livestock integration isn’t just a coupe of buzz words - it comes with lessons, losses and love.

Long weekend feature! It happens to be the B.C. Day and International Albariño Day all packed into one weekend so we are offering complimentary Albariño flights through until Monday. 💃💃💃

Albariño is no longer a well kept secret. Finding its home here above Naramata Rd in 2008, we have been producing this crisp, refreshing, dry white wine ever since. Our original vines are now 18 years old, and our new planting is 5 years old and together, they continue to transform into unique, bright and aromatic wines with the experienced touch of our winemaker. Come by for our feature flight: Albariño in three distinct styles, stay for a glass and enjoy some conservas.
