Tanya Martin Blasted Church: A Vine Journey<\/h2>\n

The Vancouver International Wine Festival<\/strong> is underway, and we\u2019re highlighting some of the people shaping the wine industry today. In this edition of Conversations in Wine<\/em>, we spoke with Tanya Martin of Blasted Church Vineyards<\/a><\/strong> in the Okanagan Valley.<\/p>\n

Tanya\u2019s career in wine stretches back to the early days of BC\u2019s modern wine industry, beginning with her first role at Hester Creek Estate Winery in 1994<\/strong>. Over the decades she has built a deep connection to the people, vineyards, and wines that make this industry so compelling.<\/p>\n

\"Tanya<\/p>\n

When and how did you know the wine industry was where you belonged?<\/h3>\n

When I started working at Hester Creek in 1994. The late Frank Supernak was the winemaker at the time, and he had a way of making everyone around him happy and comfortable. Because of that, I gained a confidence and a love for the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n

Who, or what, inspired you to be in wine? Do you have a mentor?<\/h3>\n

I didn\u2019t have a mentor, but I have always been inspired by the now retired founder of Black Hills winery and Terravista Winery, Senka Tennant. I met her when she did an apprenticeship at Hester Creek (prior to the opening of Black Hills). Senka has a keen passion for acquiring knowledge for all aspects of running a winery and making wine, while still being open and friendly and kind.<\/p>\n

\"Blasted<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite style of wine?<\/h3>\n

Sparkling.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite food & wine pairing?<\/h3>\n

A big Cabernet Sauvignon paired with a big prime rib steak.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite wine region aside from where you are working\/living?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been in love with Washington State wines for years. If I stumble upon it, I will never pass up a chance to grab a bottle of Boudreaux or Gramercy, and if I\u2019m especially lucky, a Quilceda Creek. I visited the Champoux Vineyard in 2024 and had a serious fangirl moment.<\/p>\n

When you are not in the vineyard\/winery, what are you doing?<\/h3>\n

Hiking with my dog, Sif and traveling as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\"Blasted<\/p>\n

What do you love about your current winery\/role\/job?<\/h3>\n

The people, the place, the whole package.<\/p>\n

If wine wasn\u2019t your career, what would you be doing?<\/h3>\n

I would love to learn how to train puppies to be assistance dogs.<\/p>\n
