Valerian keeps a little black book. Some of the handwriting belongs to people who have been dead for centuries.

The Warlock is an extravagant, sensual collector of wines and questionable acquaintances. He guides you through the mind, past the Assassin and the Warden, those sticky inner companions who undermine our possibilities and imprison us. With @rochewines Nuances 2022 in hand, he'll remind you that a little nuance can turn a firm conviction into a rather intriguing proposition.

Roark Critchlow (@roarkcritchlow) as Valerian. Underworld, October 31, Naramata Inn.

It was an absolutely perfect evening dining together at our inaugural “Cooking with Friends” charity dinner this week. Here are a few behind the scenes clips.

It was sincerely a heartfelt gathering—meeting new friends, hearing about what’s going on in our community from those who are dedicated to serving others, and experiencing incredible Okanagan wine and food pairings.

Thank you to our incredible partners @ktownchef, @rochewines, and @kelownasgospelmission for making this dinner possible and so memorable.

And to our guests, thank you for attending. Our team took pride in hosting you from first dish set to last dish cleared.

Few people know that Naramata got its name at a séance.

In 1907, the postmaster's wife, a medium, went into a trance in front of the town's founder, John Moore Robinson. She pronounced the name, pulling it from the eerie shadows of another realm.

This Halloween, a medium returns to the Naramata Inn. Her name is Vespie, and she has brought company.

Underworld. Saturday, October 31, in the Burrow at Naramata Inn.

🍇 This past Saturday evening we attended the annual Harvest Dinner at Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley’s Dundee Hills. The winery was established in 1987 by the historic Drouhin family of Burgundy and we have been visiting them since the 1990’s and have been members since 2003. The dinner was hosted by fourth generation winemaker Véronique Drouhin. One of the first woman winemakers in Burgundy, Véronique has become globally-recognized for her work in Burgundy and Oregon. She has made more than 30 vintages in each growing region, and is considered an icon in both. Today, Véronique continues to make every wine for Domaine Drouhin Oregon. In Burgundy, her title is “Guardian of the Drouhin Palate,” which makes her responsible for maintaining the “Drouhin style and sensibility” in every wine the family produces. We have met Véronique many times over the years, including a chance meeting outside the caves of Joseph Drouhin in Beaune, so we were pleased to be seated at her table.

With the dinner, the following wines were served:
- 2024 Roserock Maigold Chardonnay
- 2021 DDO Arthur Chardonnay
- 2021 DDO Pinot Noir Origine 34
- 2019 DDO Pinot Noir Laurène
- 2016 Pinot Noir Cuvée Louise
- To end the meal, a special Ratafia, a grape based fortified wine, created by Véronique. (Unfortunately, not available for sale.)

The following day we did a tasting of Maison Joseph Drouhin wines including:
- ��2022 Saint-Romain Blanc
- 2023 Vaudon Chablis 1er Cru
- 2023 Montagny Blanc
- 2022 Santenay
- 2023 Savigny-les-Beaune
- 2023 Givry
Thank you to Ken Lukhard for guiding us through these wonderful wines.

À Votre Santé!

🍷✨ A Well-Deserved Celebration

This season, our tasting room team took on a company challenge and not only met the goal but surpassed it together.

To celebrate their hard work, dedication, and incredible teamwork, we wanted to do something special before many of our seasonal team members headed back to school and closed out another amazing season with us.

What better way to celebrate than spending a day visiting & supporting our wine industry friends in beautiful Naramata?

We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to all the wineries who welcomed our team, shared their stories, and provided such exceptional hospitality throughout the day. Your generosity and passion for our industry made this experience truly memorable. @morainewinery @joiefarm @rochewines

A special shout-out to our incredible partners @devinowinetours and our Tasting Room Manager, Patricia, for organizing this fantastic industry excursion.👏

As we look ahead, our tasting room team will be taking a well-earned break. Our Wine Shop will remain open through November 12, after which visits will be available by appointment only for the remainder of the year. Of course, our online store will continue to be open 24/7. 🛒🍷

To our tasting room team: thank you for your hard work, positive energy, dedication, and for sharing so many laughs along the way. We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you and look forward to welcoming you back next season.

Cheers to a great season and the people who made it possible. 🥂

A Galette is a rustic, free-form French pastry that can be either sweet or savory. To be honest, I was a bit nervous as this was the first time I made a pastry dough, did a bit of research and and all came together beautifully. The tomatoes, chives and basil were from our garden, Brie was from France 🇫🇷 😉.
We paired the Galette with a wonderful Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire that we found at Costco. After it has cooled, sprinkled some torn basil and chives on top and then enjoyed it with a glass of this wine.

🍇🍷🇫🇷 Today’s wine is a 2025 Domaine du Courtillet Touraine Sauvignon Blanc produced by Guy Allion in Thésée in the Loire Valley.

Aromas - citrus fruits, grapefruit, and green apple, mixed with flinty, smoky mineral notes and white blossoms
Taste - lemon, peach, pear, and a touch of wet stone minerality; crisp; medium-bodied with bright acidity

A Votre Santé!

We are doing it again Nelson. We have partnered up with @rochewines in Naramata. 4 courses paired with 4 Roche wines. I'll be cooking up the savoury courses and @lnc_bakery has another amazing dessert for everyone.
Can't wait to get to cook for you!
