Laughing Stock Vineyards
Laughing Stock Vineyards grows grapes at Penticton, in the Naramata Bench sub-appellation of British Columbia.
Where it sits
Laughing Stock Vineyards is at Penticton, and its fruit falls inside Naramata Bench, nested within Okanagan Valley, one of the recognised growing areas of British Columbia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.
What it grows
The winery works with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Viognier, Syrah and Malbec.
Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.
Vineyard area: A 22 acre vineyard acquired in 2007.
Visiting
