🍷✨ Corporate retreats, custom wine labels, elevate 🍷✨ Corporate retreats, custom wine labels, elevated Indian cuisine, and soon… on-site stays in wine country.

Manzil and @kismetwines are expanding their hospitality experience in a big way for 2026. Blending award-winning BC wine, meaningful team experiences, and South Okanagan hospitality into something far beyond the typical corporate event.

Led by winemaker Manpreet Dhaliwal, Kismet continues carving out one of the most distinctive stories in BC wine, now adding retreats, virtual tastings, custom gifting, team dinners, wellness add-ons, and summer accommodation launches to the mix. 🍇🍷

The combination of premium BC wine + regional Indian cuisine at Manzil is becoming one of the more unique winery experiences in the Okanagan.

Big milestone for BCWineTrends 🍷 This week, Googl Big milestone for BCWineTrends 🍷

This week, Google briefly ranked BCWineTrends #2 organically for the search term “BC wine” — alongside some very established industry names.

Considering this site started as an independent passion project focused on BC wineries, wine travel, restaurants, and honest wine recommendations, that’s pretty incredible to see.

A huge thank you to:
🍇 the wineries who continue to share their stories and wines
🍷 the chefs, tourism partners, and hospitality teams across BC
📸 everyone who reads, comments, shares, and follows along
❤️ and especially the loyal BC wine community that has supported BCWineTrends over the years

The goal has always been simple:
Help people discover the best of BC wine country.

Still lots ahead. 🍷

@nobleridgewinery 2025 Reserve Pinot Grigio ($25.9 @nobleridgewinery 2025 Reserve Pinot Grigio ($25.99)
A step up in precision and detail. This is Pinot Grigio with real intent.
🍇 Varietal
100% Pinot Grigio
⚙️ Winemaking
Small-lot, stainless steel to lock in freshness and purity
📊 Technical
13.5% alc | pH 3.31 | TA 5.9 | RS 1.2 g/L
🍷 Tasting Notes
Bright and aromatic with citrus, pear, and white florals on the nose. The palate is lively and textured, showing green apple, blood orange, and lime, layered with a subtle jasmine tea note. Finishes clean, crisp, and mineral-driven with impressive length. 🍐🍋
⭐ 92 Points
Clean, focused, and quietly sophisticated—this is Pinot Grigio that overdelivers.

🍽 Pairing
Lemon herb chicken, seafood linguine, or fresh oysters

@quailsgate Heirloom White 2025 ($23.99) 🍐🍋 A heri @quailsgate Heirloom White 2025 ($23.99) 🍐🍋
A heritage blend that still feels completely fresh.
Blend & Background
Chasselas (planted on the estate in 1961) leads, supported by Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. Each varietal is cold-fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity and lift.
Tasting Notes
Bright and expressive with pear, green apple, white peach, and lemon zest. The palate is clean and lively, adding a touch of green melon and a soft, rounded texture. Fresh, balanced, and very easy to enjoy. 90 Points
Why It Works
An understated standout — crisp enough for the patio, but with just enough texture to carry through a meal.
Pairing
🍋 Meyer Lemon & Thyme Pasta
