Moraine Estate Winery

Moraine is a family-owned winery and vineyard overlooking Okanagan Lake, located just minutes from the city of Penticton. From its shelf-like location above striking clay bluffs, Moraine peers over the landscape and water. These iconic glaciated white clay cliffs comprise the breathtaking Naramata Bench and inspire the winery’s land-formed name.

With a goal of using only fruit grown on Naramata Bench, Moraine’s inaugural vintage wines offer a unique, desirable flavour profile. Vineyard manager Pierre Levesque tends the vines with care and attention to each plant, with the health of the vine and ultimate fruit quality at harvest being the goal.

The story behind Moraine

Moraine is a family estate on the Naramata Bench, above Okanagan Lake near Penticton. Oleg and Svetlana Aristarkhov, who came to Canada from Europe, settled here and released their first Pinot Noir in 2012.

The name comes from the ground itself, the glacial moraine soils of boulder and clay that the Bench is built on. The family named its vineyards after their daughters.

Cool-climate Pinot and Riesling

The Naramata Bench is prime cool-climate country, and Moraine leans into it with Pinot Noir and Riesling at the core. There are single-vineyard bottlings, including a Pinot Noir off the Sophia Vineyard.

Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and some Bordeaux reds fill out the range. A Moraine Pinot Noir took gold at the 2023 National Wine Awards of Canada.
