Kettle Valley planted their first vines on the Naramata Bench in 1987 and harvested their first grapes in 1992, making this year’s 2011 harvest their 20th vintage. Winemaking started as a hobby 25 years ago for Bob and Tim when they planted their first vineyards. By the time they opened their tasting room doors they were the 4th winery on The Naramata Bench, and the 23rd in the Province. The Winery is on The Naramata Bench, and now produces 10,000 cases a year from 28 acres on The Naramata Bench and 14 in the Cawston / Keremeos area.
