Bella Wines
Established in 2011, Bella Wines has spent over a decade pushing the boundaries of winemaking in BC. They were the first winery in the province to insist on natural winemaking, and the first to produce Methode Ancestrale wines (pet-nats), let alone focus exclusively on bubbles. Their path has marked them as not only trailblazers in the industry, but as downright heretical in a province that had never seen winemaking approached in this way. Bella’s unconventional style is far more than simply an affectation, however, and what sets Bella wines apart runs much deeper than simply being the ones who paved the way.
After taking the reins from Jay Drysdale in 2024, Bree McKage moved the winery from Naramata to Keremeos in the Similkameen Valley. There she continues the tradition of making BC bubbles the most beautiful expression of what the region’s best-farmed vineyards can offer.
