Okanagan wineries dominate at the All-Canadian Wine Championships
A Boutique Winery in the Heart of Lake Country
Nestled in the heart of Lake Country, British Columbia, Intrigue Wines is a family-owned boutique winery located along the Scenic Sip Wine Trail, just minutes from Kelowna International Airport.
We’re proud to call the Lake Country Sub-Geographical Indication (Sub-GI) home—a designated wine-growing region within the Okanagan Valley recognized for its distinctive terroir, diverse soils, and the moderating influence of Okanagan Lake. These unique growing conditions help produce wines with vibrant acidity, freshness, and exceptional balance.
At Intrigue Wines, we craft 100% BC wines that reflect the character of this remarkable region while celebrating the fruit grown right here in Lake Country. Our philosophy is simple: create approachable, expressive wines that bring people together and showcase the best of what British Columbia wine has to offer.
Receiving national recognition is incredibly meaningful—but sharing these wines with every guest who walks through our doors is what we’re most proud of.
Best Rosé of the Year
Our biggest celebration this year belongs to our 2025 Social Rosé, which received Double Gold and was crowned Best Rosé of the Year.
Rosé has become synonymous with Okanagan summers, and we’re incredibly honoured to have our Social Rosé recognized as Canada’s best.
This wine represents countless hours of dedication throughout the vineyard and cellar. Every vintage tells the story of a growing season, careful vineyard management, thoughtful winemaking, and a passionate team working together toward a common goal.
We can’t wait to share this award-winning rosé with you when it arrives in our wine shop.
Gold Medal Winner: Rotberger
Our Rotberger was also awarded a Gold Medal, continuing its reputation as one of the most unique wines in our portfolio.
Originally developed in Germany in 1928, Rotberger is a rare crossing of Schiava Grossa (Trollinger) and Riesling. The variety was created for cool-climate wine regions and is known for producing vibrant, fruit-forward wines with bright acidity and exceptional freshness.
At Intrigue Wines, we’re proud to showcase this uncommon varietal and the unique expression it develops here in the Okanagan Valley.
Exclusive to our Social Club Wine Club, our Rotberger has become a favourite among members for its bright personality, versatility, and distinctive character.
This recognition makes us especially proud to share this exclusive wine with the members who continue to support our winery year after year.

Gold Medal Winner: Frosted Vines
This year’s Frosted Vines marks the long-awaited return of a wine we haven’t produced in seven years—and what a comeback it has made.
Crafted after the first frost touches the vines, this expressive blend of Kerner, Ehrenfelser, and Riesling offers aromas of apricot and citrus blossom with flavours of juicy pineapple, white peach, and wildflower honey.
Receiving a Gold Medal for its return vintage is a wonderful celebration of this special release and proof that some wines are truly worth the wait.
Every Award Starts in the Vineyard
Awards like these don’t happen by accident.
They begin long before harvest, with countless hours spent caring for the vines through every season. They continue in the cellar through thoughtful decisions, careful blending, and meticulous attention to detail.
These awards belong to an incredible team.
A heartfelt congratulations goes to our talented winemaker, Roger Wong, whose passion and expertise continue to shape every vintage, along with our dedicated vineyard and cellar teams. Your commitment, craftsmanship, and care are reflected in every bottle we produce.
Thank you for everything you do.
