Pentâge Winery is a boutique winery nestled on 23 acres overlooking Skaha Lake in Penticton, British Columbia.
We limit our annual production to approximately 5,000 cases a year – this enables us the ability to create exceptional small lot releases and maintain our hands-on approach for quality control.
Our commitment to excellence begins in the vineyards. We believe the foundation of a great wine is most truly reflected by the soil and climate – also known as the “terroir”. Our low-yield cultivation strategy produces the top-quality grapes essential to our premium, limited release, hand-crafted wines.

It started out as a mini-weekend get-away to the Okanagan and the weekend turned into a real estate quest when we happened to stumble upon 4400 Lakeside Road. At that time the property was an abandoned orchard – “it had everything right wrong with it” said Paul. With his vision and immense passion…..the dream started to unfold. The land was contoured in 1996 and Spring of 1997 our Vista Ridge Vineyard was planted. Our first vintage was a small lot of 1999 Syrah and the rest is history…
"...I admire the vision behind selling mature wines in a market fixated on the next vintage."

……driving to the winery was so peaceful and beautiful; we had to take a windy country road. It narrowed off a bit as we approached the entrance gates to Pentage Winery - it was like driving through the country roads in Europe. We loved how "off the beaten path" it felt and looked, as well as how down-to-earth the owners, Paul and Julie, were.

Pentâge Winery opened its tasting room only in 2011, eight years after opening the winery. The reason: it took Paul Gardner eleven years to plan and dig the massive 465 square-metre (5,000 square foot) cave from the crown of hard rock commanding this vineyard’s million-dollar view of Skaha Lake. Cool and spacious, this cave accommodates barrels and tanks of wine in a feat of engineering. You can even appreciate the ambiance without a tour by peering through the gigantic glass doors at the front of the cave.

Absolutely stunning and some of the best wine I have ever had! I cannot say enough great things about this winery! The owners are friendly, the views are out of this world, and they have adorable doggies who are cute and cuddly as well :) Amazing place!

I had an amazing and memorable time at Pentâge Winery. I loved that it was family run and operated. Their wines are amazing! I was impressed with their rare varietals, as not many wineries in the region grow these unique grapes. I was also excited to learn that they age most of their red wines and a select few of their whites.

Everyone should visit this winery. The wines are excellent, the views are spectacular, and the story is not to be missed. Buy a bottle and sit in the picnic area and enjoy the fantastic view. I live here and will be back.

…. rarely do you find a winery with so much to offer both in varietals and quality. We were blown away by the diversity in varietal offerings as well as the high quality of their wines. With each tasting we became increasingly impressed.

We did a wine tasting today at Pentage at it was fabulous! The ladies there are absolutely lovely and they have some amazing wines - the Pinot Noir was a particular favorite! Their COVID protocols are super thorough and safe yet they were so warm and gave us such a great experience today. We will definitely be back on every Okanagan trip.

What a 'find'. This fabulous winery on the southern outskirts of Penticton had been highly recommended to us. The site itself is above Skaha Lake with views/scenery out of a travel brochure! The innovative architecture of the wine cave/cellar & outstanding wine shop and wine tasting experience were enjoyed by all in our small group. We will be back!
