Who We Are
Narrative was founded on the belief that great wine begins with a sense of place and a passion for exploration.
OUR ORIGIN
A decade of storytelling through wine.
Founded in 2016 by Okanagan Crush Pad, Narrative was created as a canvas for exploration - small lots, distinctive vineyards, and wines that speak honestly of place.
Today, Narrative continues to evolve, crafting wines that celebrate the Okanagan's diversity and reflecting our belief that every bottle has a story to tell.
