JoieFarm

Naramata Road is the single thread tying this bench to the rest of the valley, climbing out of Penticton along the east shore and passing nearly every property of consequence on the way. JoieFarm sits at 2825 Naramata Road, on the working stretch where vineyards and surviving orchard blocks step down the slope toward the water. No highway runs through Naramata and the community has a settled preference for keeping it that way, so this one road carries everything.

Before making the drive it is worth a look at joiefarm.com or a call to 250-462-2048 to find out what is happening on the day you want to come, whether you need to book, and whether there is anything on offer for a larger group. Parking on Naramata Road properties is often tighter than it looks from a map, so say in advance if you are arriving in more than one vehicle. Penticton, at the bottom of the winding lakeshore road, is the nearest town of any size for whatever the bench cannot supply, and the Kettle Valley Railway grade runs above the road for anyone arriving by bicycle.
