One of Naramata’s hidden gem wineries has earned itself a nomination on USA Today’s Top Ten Winery Tours in North America.

Out of the 20 wineries nominated, Bella Wines is the only winery in Canada to earn a spot.

“Whether you're a newbie or connoisseur, there's nothing like getting a behind-the-scenes look at the wine-making process (while tasting along the way) to hone your appreciation and your palate. We asked a panel of wine industry experts to nominate their favourite winery tours in North America,” the USA Today article reads.

Specializing in sparkling wine, Bella is nestled in Naramata overlooking Okanagan Lake. Their tour gives you a look at their vineyard and property, while tasting multiple glasses of their unique bubbles.

“Tracing the process of winemaking from the vine to the glass. Sip sparkling wine as you wander past the farm’s animals, fruit trees and gardens.”

Bella currently sits at spot number seven of the top ten list, battling it out against wineries in California, Washington and Oregon. Vote for Bella Wines online here to help them win their spot.
