Domaine Artema Winery

Domaine Artema is a pioneering winery located on the Black Sage Bench in Oliver, BC, one of Canada's most prestigious wine-growing regions. Its vineyards sit on sun-drenched slopes with a distinctive soil profile that yields grapes of exceptional character and intensity. As the South Okanagan's first winery focused exclusively on Gamay and Chardonnay, Domaine Artema brings a clear and differentiated voice to the region.

Their vision is rooted in purity, balance, and a deep connection to terroir. The portfolio reflects this with intention: a vibrant, fruit-forward Gamay with notes of blackberry, cranberry, and a hint of white pepper; a structured and complex Chardonnay aged on lees with bâtonnage, offering layers of baked pear and warm butterscotch; and a fresh, lively Sparkling wine with bright notes of green apple and lemon zest. Every bottle is crafted with a forward-looking perspective — a reimagined vision of what Canadian wine can be.

The story behind Domaine Artema

Domaine Artema arrived in 2024, when new owners took over an established Black Sage Bench estate near Oliver, once known as Desert Hills, and gave it a fresh name and focus. The vineyard itself is mature, with a long record of good fruit.

The idea behind the rebrand is unusual for BC: build a winery around Gamay and Chardonnay in the spirit of Beaujolais.

An Okanagan Beaujolais house

Artema bills itself as the Okanagan's first winery devoted to Gamay and Chardonnay in a Beaujolais style, light on its feet and food-friendly. Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and sparkling round out the range. Winemaker Stefanie Dylla, Brock-trained with time in New Zealand, leads the cellar.

The wines come in a Village tier for everyday drinking and single-vineyard bottlings above it. Being new, the estate has been open about topping up a short 2024 crop with fruit from trusted growers.
