Joie Winery is located on a 5-acre farm on the Naramata Bench in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. Since the 2004 vintage, we have been working with a number of small, dedicated growers who produce very high quality grapes for us from both the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. None of these growers are certified organic, but most are farming with low spray inputs, using minimal Roundup and tilling with a grape hoe for weed control.
In 2007 we planted our farm over from apples and pears to Gewürztraminer and Moscato Giallo, a clone of yellow Muscat from the Northeast of Italy. The vines will be in production in time for the 2009 vintage. With our home block we have chosen to take a long-term approach to the health and sustainability of our property. We are interested in building the property literally from the ground-up and establishing long-term resistance to pest and diseases within our vines. We have embarked on our vineyard project with a preventative approach, focused on soil.
