Illustrative experience
I
The Cellar Table
A private reserve and library flight in the intimacy of a partner winery's cellar. Hosted by the winemaker or estate director, at hours the public rarely sees.
A Canadian membership · Est. 2026
Wine country,
beyond the ordinary.
Curated access to private winery experiences, reserved for Vintessa members. Small settings, considered hospitality, and moments you cannot arrange from the street.
Launching with a select collection of winery and premium tour partners across British Columbia’s Okanagan, with further Canadian regions to follow.
01 — The Idea
Not another tasting.
Vintessa members step past the public tasting bar. The Collection is built with wineries and premium tour operators who reserve a quieter side of their cellar for us — private settings, library and reserve pours, hosted flights, behind-the-scenes access, and thoughtfully arranged transportation between estates.
Small formats by design. Never more guests than the room can hold with grace.
02 — The Collection
The Vintessa Collection
A quiet edit of winery experiences, built with our partners. Three from the opening season, drawn as the collection takes shape.
Coming soon
II
Vineyard at Golden Hour
Guided vineyard access as the light softens, followed by a seated seasonal tasting with pairings from the estate garden. Reserved for members and a single guest.
Coming soon
III
The Reserve Route
A chauffeured itinerary linking three exclusive partner experiences across a single afternoon. Nothing to plan, nothing to drive. A day arranged around you.
03 — Membership
Why membership matters.
01
Private access
Rooms, cellars, and vineyard corners kept aside for members — never available through a winery's public booking page.
02
Curated partners
A short, considered roster of wineries and premium tour operators, chosen for craft, hospitality, and setting.
03
Priority invitations
First word on limited-release tastings, seasonal openings, and small-format gatherings across the season.
04
Thoughtful recognition
Arrivals arranged, preferences remembered, small courtesies extended — the quiet kind of hospitality that lingers.
Vintessa does not replace a winery’s wine club. It adds a new layer — private access, memorable hospitality, and beautifully coordinated wine-country experiences — beside the collections you already love.
04 — Lifestyle
For the moments worth remembering.
An anniversary you want to feel. A birthday that deserves a table you couldn’t book yourself. A weekend away, a visit from friends, a spontaneous escape into the vines.
Vintessa is built for those moments — arranged with quiet care, so you arrive as a guest, not a planner.
