September 8 is a big day for husband-wife duo Kyla Richey and Rudy Verhoeff. It’s the day they open the doors to – Valley Commons in the south Okanagan’s District Wine Village (DWV).
It’s September and a time of new beginnings. Recently TIME Family of Wines announced some changes to their look and sense of place. With this growth and change comes some new branding, a new look and a reimagined experience.
Church & State Wines features two distinctly different vineyard properties located in the Okanagan and on Vancouver Island. Our meticulous wine-making process is driven by a passion to make wines that capture a sense of place, drawing from the terroir to showcase a sense of character, depth and the elegance of our land.
TIME’s characteristic premium quality and attention to detail continues, with many new additions to the portfolio, including a new brand. TIME Family Wines is excited to introduce Chronos to their premium BC VQA portfolio.

All the signs of spring are emerging here at Naramata Inn: we’ve seen bud break in our local vineyards, our orchards are bursting with blossoms, and our new menus are filled with the first of the season’s asparagus and rhubarb.
“Harvest 2020 was an outstanding harvest from my point of view – the best I have seen in the Okanagan in 10 years without question.”
-Taylor Whelan, Winemaker
