Focused on crafting ultra-premium, terroir-driven wines, Painted Rock Estate Winery was founded with a family legacy in mind by John and Trish Skinner in 2004. The winery produces primarily Bordeaux red varieties, alongside Chardonnay, Syrah, and a beautifully expressive Rosé, and has earned consistent national and international recognition, including being named a Decanter Wine of the Year and multiple Gold Medals at WineAlign. The architecturally distinctive tasting room sits atop the 56-acre Skaha Bench estate, just south of Penticton, overlooking the vineyards and Skaha Lake. Guests are invited to enjoy guided tastings in a relaxed setting that brings together exceptional wines, striking views, and a true sense of place.
“We had a wonderful time at Painted Rock. Karlee was very personable and knowledgeable about the delicious wine we tasted and the view at this venue is simply spectacular! I highly recommend a visit and tasting at Painted Rock!”
“Painted Rock Estate Winery is the kind of venue that takes your breath away the moment you arrive. From our very first site visit, we were in awe — and Dawn, the venue coordinator, was just as impressive. She was so kind, helpful, and responsive throughout the planning process, answering every question and making sure everything went smoothly leading up to the big day. On the day itself, the setting was everything we dreamed of. Our guests were stunned by the sweeping Skaha lake views, especially at sunset, and many said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they’d ever seen. The property is pristine and elegant, and pairing its stunning backdrop with Painted Rock’s exceptional wines made the experience unforgettable. Hosting our wedding there was one of the best choices we made, and we’ll always be grateful for Dawn’s support and expertise. If you’re considering Painted Rock for your wedding, book it — it’s a venue your guests will never forget.”
“What a great winery! Good place for taking pictures on a beautiful day, you have a cozy but classy atmosphere and the landscaping is gorgeous! The view is amazing! Staff were attentive and friendly. Shout out to Auntie Momo. Wine was good too 😉”
“I chose Painted Rock Estate Winery to celebrate my 31st birthday weekend, and I honestly can’t put into words how incredible the wine tasting experience was. The staff—Monique and Kristian—were not only welcoming but also impressively knowledgeable. They were true wine nerds in the best way, sharing in-depth insights about the grapes, the winemaking process, and the unique challenges faced during different vintages. I had travelled from Vancouver with no chance to reset or rest, and by the time I arrived at the winery, I was completely exhausted. Even though it’s primarily a wine tasting facility, the lovely staff went above and beyond—offering me a shot of espresso to help me feel refreshed and present for the experience. That thoughtful gesture made a lasting impression and really set the tone for a memorable visit. Definitely recommending to visit Painted Rock Estate!”
“We had a fantastic experience at Painted Rock Estate Winery. The ambiance is stunning, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We had a reservation for a wine tasting, and the wines were exceptional—each with its own unique flavor profile. The charcuterie board we ordered was delicious and paired perfectly with the wines. The winery is also very family-friendly; our friend brought their child, and the staff made us all feel comfortable and accommodated. It's clear they put a lot of thought into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. We can’t wait to return!”
