JoieFarm is owned and operated by Heidi Noble & Michael Dinn and is located on a five acre
farm on the beautiful Naramata Bench in the Okanagan Valley in the interior of British Columbia, Canada.

Joie (zh-wah) – meaning, joy in french, 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 Moscato Giallo and Gewürztraminer grape vines and a new winery building was built on the property. Three growing seasons later, we can now make wine from grapes right outside our winery door. This has been an exciting process and to mark our evolution, our new trademark, JoieFarm, embodies what has always been our end goal; to grow our own grapes and make our own wine. This name change will coincide with the first crop that we will take from our own vineyard, adding about 6 tons of estate grown fruit, alongside the 20 small family farms who will continue to provide grapes for our wines.

JoieFarm is interested exclusively in the grape varieties of Alsace, Burgundy and Champagne which excel in the cool-climate, desert landscape of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. We are particularly interested in making these wines because not only are they wines that we love and enjoy drinking, but we feel these varieties thrive and are relevant in our area. As young winemakers at the forefront of a new wine region, we are interested in exploring the potential and synergy between these aromatic varietals and their role in distinguishing the culinary West Coast of Canada as an emerging and unified cuisine.

Despite the unusual focus on aromatic white and rosé wines, JoieFarm has received tremendous critical and popular acclaim within the Canadian wine industry in a very short period of time. The limited production of 9500 cases sells out quickly with the wines being sold exclusively to a private mailing list, Vancouver & Victoria restaurants and a select few private wine shops. JoieFarm wines are also available on a limited basis in Alberta and Ontario. As a result, we do not have a tasting room to visit. We invite you to enjoy our wines in restaurants or at home in good health with good food, family and friends.
