The Winery & Winemaker
Fueled by passion...driven by perfection...unconstrained by tradition. That's Black Market Wine Co. based in Kaleden, BC, one of the ‘last frontiers’ of great potential in the Okanagan that is relatively unexplored.
Black Market established their brand with a 2012 vintage, and has grown steadily over the last decade.
I chose this winery to feature because of the strong reputation they have built for small-lot, hand-crafted wines that surpass expectations.
For many years while still living in Calgary, Black Market owners Rob and Michelle would travel to the Okanagan in search of the small boutique wines that weren’t available in the Alberta market.
Inevitably, they would fill their car with cases and cases of amazing wines…and “smuggle” them back across the border to share with family and friends. They became known as the Wine Black Marketeers, so when they set up their own winery, choosing the name was easy!
Rob spent over six years producing wines through BC Wine Studio under the tutelage of an experienced winemaker, and studying viticulture and enology through Washington State University.
In 2019, the couple moved their family of 5 to Kaleden permanently to continue growing Black Market Wine Co. and take their dream of owning a boutique vineyard and winery to the next level.
