La Frenz Estate Winery

La Frenz Estate Winery is a renowned winery in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, having been recognized as BC Winery of the Year three times, most recently at the 2026 WineAlign National Wine Awards. The winery's 62-acre estate spans six vineyards, five on the Naramata Bench and one on Oliver's Golden Mile, where each grape variety is carefully matched to its unique site-specific terroir. This meticulous approach allows for optimal fruit production, resulting in wines of remarkable depth, balance, and complexity. La Frenz farms for flavor, with a focus on hand-tending and hand-harvesting their estate-grown grapes. The winery's vineyards are situated in prime locations, including the Class 1-rated Rattlesnake Vineyard, which boasts glacial boulder clay/loam soils and a westerly aspect. Founded by Jeff Martin in 1999, La Frenz is committed to crafting premium wines that express the character of British Columbia's finest vineyard sites. The winery's tasting experience is currently limited to indoor tastings due to air quality concerns, but visitors can enjoy guided tours and wine pairings amidst a scenic backdrop overlooking Lake Okanagan. With its dedication to terroir-driven winemaking and exceptional viticulture practices, La Frenz Estate Winery has established itself as an award-winning destination for Okanagan wine enthusiasts.
