In the fall of 2002 we purchased a beautiful 5 acre farm on the Naramata Bench in the Okanagan Valley and we named it “Joie”. Joie has been a constantly evolving concept that began as a guesthouse and critically acclaimed cooking school, located outdoors, formerly in our orchard. In 2007 the orchard was planted over to grape vines and a new winery building was built on the property. The story and of the cooking school and guesthouse have been captured in Heidi's award winning book Menus from an Orchard Table (Whitecap, 2007). With the addition of our own estate grown fruit in 2009, we have changed our name to JoieFarm to reflect our deeper connection to the place we call home. – Description from JelaDragoljevic

  • Joie Farm a Delicate Balance IV Riesling 2011

    November 2012

    Joie Farm a Delicate Balance IV Riesling 2011

    Snoothrank:

    This Riesling from Joie Farm has a mixed provenance being a blend of grapes from various Kelowna area vineyards of repute. The result is quite astounding - there is a beautiful dandelion wine colour with sweet apple on the nose and just a hint of pie spice. Bracing acdidty mid-palate is balanced by a soft douce finish. This is a very fine win... Read More

    Just curious if anyone has tasted any of the 7 Verite wines recently awarded 100 pts by Parker.  Not that I follow Parker so much, but I was listening to a radio show recently (do not remember which one, what station, etc).  They were talking about a winemaker in Sonoma who was from France.  It was an interesting talk, because the winemaker in q...

  • Joie a Noble Blend 2007

    January 2011

    Joie a Noble Blend 2007

    Snoothrank:

    Complex white blend opens with floral notes and light stone fruit (apricot. peach smell..). Similar to a viognier from California this gewurtz, riesling, pinot gris and pinot auxerrois blend was very good - a litte petrol tint took a bit away ..would have preferred a crisper mouth feel.
