Black Widow Winery

Why it stands out

Black Widow Winery is a family-owned Naramata Bench estate established in 2000. The family purchased a 7 acre vineyard, expanded the plantings, built the winery in 2006, and released single-vineyard wines from fruit grown on the Bench.

What to expect on a visit

The winery is built into a steep hillside with multiple levels, allowing gravity to help move wine gently during production. The approach is low intervention, with a focus on the character and strength of the grapes from the Naramata Bench.

Tour planning notes

Black Widow is a good Naramata choice for guests who appreciate smaller family wineries, vineyard-specific wines, and a production story that is easy to understand on-site. It fits well into routes that favour boutique stops over larger estates.
