Blasted Church is one of our favourite wineries. Why wouldn't it be?
- Amazing location on the bluffs overlooking Skaha Lake
- Huge selection of wines
- Whimsical labels.
- Great signage
- Awesome sense of humour
- and their wines taste pretty good too.
The story is the town of Okanagan Falls needed a church. A nearby deserted mining town had one they weren't using. So a crew set of to dismantle the old wooden church and bring it back. The demolition man, Hatfield, blew up the church. Kind of. A controlled blast of dynamite loosened the nails and spared the wood. Except the steeple. It didn't survive. The 108 year old church now stands in Okanagan Falls.
When Chris and Evelyn Campbell bought the winery it was called Prpich Hills. How exciting is that? Not! So the winery got a new name and new labels. And this year they retired those irreverent labels and are introducing equally good, if not better new labels.
Our favourite wines? All of them! Seriously. What we have in our wine rack right now:
