Black Market Wine Co.

Why it stands out

Black Market Wine Co. is a Kaleden winery shaped by Rob Hammersley and Michelle Shewchuk, whose name grew out of years of bringing hard-to-find Okanagan wines home to share. Today the winery focuses on distinctive small-batch wines, estate farming, and sustainable growing.

What to expect on a visit

The setting highlights the Okanagan Falls and Skaha Lake area, with long warm days, cool nights, and a semi-arid South Okanagan climate that helps preserve acidity. Tastings are designed around a changing portfolio that can include sparkling, white, rose, and red wines.

Tour planning notes

Black Market is a good fit when the route is moving through Kaleden, Okanagan Falls, or Skaha Lake. It gives guests a boutique stop with personality, lake-area scenery, and a focus on responsible vineyard work.
