JoieFarm Winery Winemaker’s Dinner at Tratto Pizzeria

/in /by

Pizzeria Tratto was born out of a passion for great Italian ingredients and a respect for the craft of pizza making. At the heart of it all is the traditional domed forno, which churns out perfectly balanced, soft, yet charred, Neapolitan pizza.

JoieFarm Winery is perched on an intimate loop of Naramata Bench and our vineyards are peppered throughout the Okanagan. With JoieFarm’s first vintage in 2003, and became only the fourth winery to grow from the Naramata Bench. Supplying restaurants is how Joie began and has always been owned by a sommelier and restauranteur. The partnership between Tratto and Joie started on Joie’s very own lawn, where Chris tested his Tratto concept with Joie’s wood burning oven for a beautiful Summer alongside the tasting room. We couldn’t be happier to pair up with him again at his restaurant!
