JoieFarm Winery Winemaker’s Dinner at Tratto Pizzeria

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!

Silk Scarf Workshop, SIP & DIP Workshop- Penticton

Join us at BC Wine Info Centre in Penticton for a 2.50 hour workshop.

We bring the beautiful, ancient art of water marbling to the 21st century by inviting you to be the artist. Come and make your own water marbled silk scarf. Each workshop begins with a demonstration. Then each artist chooses their colours and floats the paint one drop at a time on the surface of the water, then uses marbling combs, rakes, or stylus to create the design of their liking. If you can sprinkle cheese on a pizza, or write your name with a pencil you can make magic with us!

Tickets include all supplies to make your silk scarf and a glass of wine from “Your BC Wine Boutique” and small bites will be available. We will also have non-alcholic options available.
