History

Situated on a bench overlooking Skaha Lake, Black Market Wine Co. crafts distinctive small lot wines. In addition to our organically-farmed Conviction Ridge vineyard in picturesque Kaleden, other vineyards from which we source our grapes are responsibly and sustainably farmed by growers who care as much about quality as we do. Our journey began as Garagistes, producing just 100 cases of the 2012 vintage of our signature red blend The Syndicate. Working out of another winery has provided us the opportunity to grow and develop our craft. 2020 marks the start of a new chapter as we open our own winery and tasting room in Kaleden.

History

Founded in 2012, Bonamici Cellars is a collaboration between consulting winemaker,
Philip Soo and good friend and business partner Mario Rodi. Phil and Mario met while
working in the corporate world – Phil as a winemaker and Mario in sales & marketing.
Sharing a passion for great Italian wines and a love for the Okanagan inspired them to
create Bonamici Cellars.
Bonamici – Italian for “good friends” captures the essence of the brand. It’s about
celebrating life with great wine and delicious food bringing family & friends together
around the table to enjoy one of life’s simple pleasures.
In 2016, after searching extensively for a permanent home for Bonamici they found the
ideal site – a picturesque 10-acre property in the Okanagan Falls area surrounded by
world class award winning wineries.
Since then, a 9-acre vineyard has been planted, a beautiful tasting room and picnic area
overlooking stunning valley views opened and a new production facility completed in the
fall of 2020.
We invite you to visit and Discover BONAMICI – experience our hand-crafted, Italian
inspired wines.
