Elegance in Every Sip: The Sparkling Sophistication of Wesbert Winery

Part of the Bubbles Bus Naramata Bench Tour

Tucked into the heart of the Naramata Bench, Wesbert Winery is a rising star in the Okanagan sparkling wine scene. With roots in South Africa and a passion for offering premium wine experiences, Wesbert delivers thoughtful hospitality, stunning vineyard views, and exceptional wines—both still and sparkling.

When the Bubbles Bus pulls in, our guests are in for something truly special.

The Elevated Tasting Experience

Bubbles Bus guests enjoy Wesbert’s Elevated Tasting Experience—a premium, behind-the-scenes journey through this boutique estate that goes far beyond a traditional wine tasting.

Included in this experience:

• A guided vineyard tour, where you’ll stroll through the vines and hear about Westbert’s sustainable viticulture, soil diversity, and varietal selections that thrive on the Naramata Bench.

• An exclusive barrel room tasting, a private session not offered to the general public. Guests will taste through a selection of Westbert’s celebrated still and sparkling wines in an intimate setting, surrounded by barrels that whisper of future vintages.

It’s thoughtful, educational, and elevated—tailored to guests who want to connect more deeply with their wine.

A Sparkling Lineup That Shines

Wesbert is making a name for itself with three distinctive styles of sparkling wine:

1. 2021 Dez Sparkling White–This lively sparkling Pinot Gris-Gewürztraminer blend exhibits classic notes of citrus, lemon-lime and guava with bubbles that will play on the tongue. It pairs well with seafood, cheese platters and poultry dishes. well with seafood, cheese platters and poultry dishes.

2. Sparkling Rosé – This 100% Merlot sparkling Rosé has notes of strawberry, rhubarb, cherries and hints of raspberry. Its good balance between acidity and sweetness makes for a lingering and refreshing taste.

3. 2021 Sparkling Piquette – This light, fun sparkling Piquette is made from Gewürztraminer grapes. You will find notes of guava, peach, pear and lychee. It pairs well with charcuterie boards, cheese dishes or on its own by the beach.

   
   

While bubbles are the star, guests will also sample Wesbert’s beautifully crafted still wines, each one thoughtfully produced and full of character.

South African Warmth on the Plate

Founded by the Joubert family, Wesbert brings a touch of South African hospitality to the Okanagan. That influence extends to the optional lunch menu, which includes seasonal dishes with a distinctly South African twist—think biltong boards, peri-peri chicken, and spice-forward plates that complement the wines beautifully. And Wesbert is well known for its amazing pizza.

Guests can enjoy lunch on the vineyard-view patio or in the winery’s cozy restaurant space—either way, it’s a flavourful and memorable addition to the visit.
