ELEPHANT ISLAND

Spring 2023 (1)

NARAMATA, BC

Home to our family adventures growing and crafting beautiful wine and cider.

Elephant Island Winery launched from the farm in 1999 and Naramata Cider Co in 2017. Together these projects embody our family’s commitment to maintaining a healthy diversity in the agricultural landscape of our little corner of the world. All of our wines and ciders are made with low intervention, living fermentation techniques. What fruit we don’t grow ourselves is grown by farmers whose methods we respect, and who’s long term commitment to the craft is something we admire.

Hydration is important. Even for barrels ...
First water, then wine.

These dogs are back "on the line".

We've been a little quiet on social media over the last little bit, mostly because we only have so many hours in the day. In 2022 that meant those hours were spent getting sweaty. And dirty. To make the best wine our land can grow, our focus landed on the farm. On compost, on hand weeding, on cover crops and on sheep!

In 2023, we are aiming to do a better job of sharing. Sharing the moments, the efforts and the camaraderie that goes into the growing and making of every bottle of Elephant Island Wine.

To begin, we want to raise a glass of Blanc de Blancs 2015 Sparkling and say THANK YOU. Thank you for visiting, for buying our wine and for bringing us into your special moments.

Talk soon,
Your favorite Elephants.

Back to School Shopping. The Wine Version.

Who said Back to School meant only paper and pens?
In our world back to school means it's time to start squirrelling away essential provisions. The kind of provisions that make cooler nights and shorter days seem cozy. The nights where the slow cooker is the hero and warm and rich flavors are on heavy rotation in meal planning.

If you are a rock star or a traditionalist, there is a box of red Elephant Island wine with your name on it.

EARLY BIRD GETS FREE SHIPPING//
Order any 12 bottles of 2020 Black Currant Wine, or any 12 bottles of 2018 'Think Again, Merlot before midnight Monday, September 5th, and free shipping will automatically be applied to your order.
