Painted Rock Estate Winery

Painted Rock Estate Winery grows grapes at Penticton, in the Skaha Bench sub-appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2005.

Where it sits

Painted Rock Estate Winery is at Penticton, and its fruit falls inside Skaha 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, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, 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: 27-acre vineyard on a 56-acre estate.
