JoieFarm Winery

What JoieFarm Winery does

JoieFarm Winery is a privately held British Columbia producer of cool-climate wines operating from its estate on the Naramata Bench in the Okanagan Valley. Founded in 2002 with its first vintage released in 2003, the company manages 66+ acres across five estate vineyards plus grower partnerships, producing Alsatian-inspired aromatic whites, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, dry rosé, sparkling wines, and experimental orange wines organized into four collections: JoieFarm, En Famille, Single Vineyard (launched spring 2025), and B-Sides & Rarities. The company pioneered dry rosé production in BC beginning in 2005 and has held organic certification at its primary Secrest Mountain vineyard since 2018 while pursuing Sustainable Winegrowers BC status.

The business operates a hybrid multi-channel go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer revenue is generated through the Naramata tasting room offering Classic and Heritage tasting experiences ($15 and $10 per person), the Hot Dog Lounge on-site food service, the online shop with free shipping above $575, and the En Famille Wine Club providing 6-bottle customizable shipments at 15% discount with complimentary tastings. Wholesale distribution covers more than 200 restaurants across British Columbia with placements at venues such as Oddfish, Mott 32, Nook, Quattro Whistler, Nita Lake Lodge and Wickaninnish Inn, plus 200+ retail liquor store partners across BC and Alberta including Everything Wine, Cascadia Liquor, Wine & Beyond, and Liquor Plus. Shipping reaches BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

JoieFarm employs precision viticulture technologies including Lumo Smart Irrigation Valves with real-time sensor telemetry, electrical conductivity soil mapping to 1.5m depth via Vintality, weather station networks, and drone plus GoPro yield counting. Winemaking emphasizes low-intervention techniques, with selective cross-flow filtration on aromatic whites and unfined/unfiltered regimes on select reds. The company runs a small core team of approximately 11-12 employees led by Master Sommelier and partner Alistair Veen, Executive Winemaker Richard Charnock, General Manager BJ Tumanut, and Vineyard Manager Kevin Rossion, supported by seasonal vineyard labor. Experiential channels include a summer concert series, Wine Club Wednesdays, and weekly Naramata Farmer's Market presence.
