Envisioned as a family-run estate winery, Painted Rock draws its inspiration from proprietor’s John and Trish Skinner. The Skinner’s philosophy is rooted in the simple idea that wine should be made for friends and family to enjoy. With a dedication to quality and a respect for the terroir, Painted Rock embraces the traditions of the old world and the imagination of the new world. Painted Rock sits on a spectacular bench overlooking the eastern shore of Skaha Lake in Penticton. This 60-acre property has a unique microclimate that is particularly suited to the production of premium wines. Great wines reflect the quality of the land, the climate and the people that bring everything to fruition. Working with some of the world’s top winemakers, Painted Rock is quickly achieving a cult status within B.C.’s wine community. John and Trish Skinner are not only making wines for their family and friends to enjoy, they are intent on making iconic wines that will be savoured for generations to come. Several vintages of Painted Rock are currently available. Wines may be ordered through the Painted Rock sales office at 604 765 4538 or on the website at www.paintedrock.ca. Wines are also available from May to September at the tiny but elegant tasting room on the property at 400 Smythe Drive, Penticton on the east side of Skaha Lake.
