About this property

Gjoa's Vineyard - The Véraison Guest Room

Welcome to Gjoa's Vineyard, an adult orientated, cozy little hideaway nestled in with the vineyards and orchards of the Naramata Bench overlooking Lake Okanagan.

Our seven acre vineyard is located on the peaceful, sunny side of Lake Okanagan in the heart of wine country. We are a short walk to five wineries, a brewery, cidery, bee keeper and restaurants with the Kettle Valley Trail literally at your doorstep. This means a short bike ride to several additional wineries and restaurants as well as the city of Penticton. We are a 5 minute drive to the beach at 3 mile road which is a nice swimming beach.

Véraison is a French word for the "the onset of grape ripening" when our grapes miraculously transform from green to purple in mid to late summer.

The room has a small fridge, toaster, kettle, coffee press, dishes, cutlery and of course wine glasses.

It has a private patio with barbecue and private entrance (note we don't have pots and pans but you can throw a steak and veggies on the barbecue).

Please note that if you are booking in our summer months, wildfires and poor air quality can be a possibility. In the circumstance that Gjoa's Vineyard is under evacuation alert or order, the cancellation policy will be waived. In all other circumstances, our normal cancellation policy will apply.

We were welcomed by the owners as soon as we arrived and were given a tour of the accommodations. The place was immaculate, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed and has the best shower I've ever used haha. Location is perfect with access to many wineries, restaurants and beaches! We can't wait to come back and visit again.

Perfect location to stay on the Naramata Bench

We loved our stay for many reasons. The property is beautiful and well kept, it is close to the KVR trail which is our favorite walking and biking route in the area, and John and Gjoa were absolutely lovely as hosts. We were impressed with the amenities of our suite, with so many little extra attention to detail. There is no doubt that we will be visiting again!

Gjoa’s lovely Vinyard

Amazing place to stay! A lovely one bedroom with functional kitchenette. The grounds are stunning. Walk to KVT, wineries, pubs and short drive to dt Penticton and Naramata. Informative, kind hosts. Gave us a bottle of wine and some local jam and great recommendations for local eateries and golf. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice quiet spot

The suite is tucked in a quiet spot in the back near the vineyard. Staying in the middle of a Vineyard in close walking distance to a number of wineries, cider, and brewery was great and a great escape. The suite was very comfortable, had a nice setup for having some quick breakfasts and coffee, and a BBQ for occasional dinners. John and Gjoa were very friendly and provided great recommendations for things to see (Penticton Farmer's Market), restaurants (Elma's).

Absolutely fantastic!

Beautiful location right on the vineyard. Secluded and quiet. If you compare this unit to a 5 star hotel this unit is a10 star accommodation. The owners are wonderful and look after every possible need and do so in a heartbeat. It was our best stay yet in the Okanagan in the last 7 years and we have stayed at some other wonderful resorts. We can't wait to go back! And next time we intend to stay longer.

Vineyard location

Cozy little spot situated in a vineyard. Loved the location as we were right on KVR trail and biked into Penticton for breakfast and sightseeing as well as biking out past the Little Tunnel. Was a little bit noisy with the road traffic but that was not heard inside suite. No real kitchen per se but ability to make toast and coffee and a small microwave. It fit the bill for what we wanted for this trip.

Nice property. It’s one room with a bed and everything else. Not what I would call a one bedroom suite which implies a separate bedroom. Studio would be a more apt description. Small kitchenette area with a sink that doubles as the bathroom sink. No stove or dishwasher or anything. Small microwave, toaster, kettle, dinnerware in the cabinet in the main room. No view without walking down to the vineyard. Comfortable and quiet (some road noise during the day if the door is open. ) Okay if you’re going out to eat and doing touristy things.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Jun 2026
... not what we would call a one bedroom suite either ... It is unfortunate we didn't live up to your expectations Matthew. At Gjoa's Vineyard we do our best to under promise and over deliver. You obviously fell in love with our Vineyard Suite but instead you booked our Véraison Guest Room. The description is in the name. Not everyone is looking for a full suite complete with a large kitchen, stove, fridge, dishwasher, full microwave, separate bedroom and want to cook their own meals. But for those that do we offer our Vineyard Guest Suite. Some people enjoy going out to eat and doing those "touristy things" and for them we offer our more economical Véraison Guest Room. Two different options with two different expectations at two different price points. You obviously paid for one option but anticipated the other. Again the description is in the name, For further clarification you could have looked at 10 or 12 of our descriptive photographs or read a couple of our 21 "excellent" reviews. I hope this helps clear up any confusion you may have had about this booking. Thanks again, John B.

Amazing rental!

This property is all it describes itself and then some. The property is spotless, private, newly reno'd, beautifully decorated and the grounds are amazing. No kitchen but we did just fine as the fridge is larger. Great deck with add'l spots on the property to sit and relax as well as bikes to use on the KVR. John and his wife did a fantastic job on this place! Highly recommended.

Beautiful Vineyard Retreat

We cannot say enough good things about our recent stay at Gjoa's Vineyard. The room was spotless upon check-in and the owner's attention to detail was fabulous. This property has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. The bed is comfortable and the linens were nice. We enjoyed sitting in the vineyard with a glass of wine, biking to nearby wineries and enjoying the delicious local restaurants. John & Gjoa were so kind and welcoming and went of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

The Suite Life

What a wonderful and comfortable week we had at Gjoa’s Vineyard. The quality is of a 5 star hotel. Everything you could possibly want or need is provided. Our host John had great recommendations, was very friendly and made you feel at home. We walked through the vineyard with a bottle of wine (that they provided), watching the quails run from vine to vine. Felt like paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Gjoa's Vineyard

Host profile image
John and Gjoa have travelled the globe extensively and believe our vineyard and the Naramata Bench is a very special place. We decided to share our home so others can enjoy our vineyard and the area as much as we do. We think its working out very well since over half of our clients are now return customers and friends.

We fell in love with the area and the vineyard on our first visit to the area. The fabulous weather, warm evenings, local organic produce, friendly locals and fabulous wine are some of the best things Canada has to offer. The geography of the area is stunning with the bluffs along the Naramata Bench. I believe Naramata Road is one of the most beautiful drives in Canada. We love the laid back pace of the area, life truly slows down in this gorgeous part of the world...and the wine is getting better every year.

Why they chose this property

We are close to everything you need, wineries along the bench, beach, restaurants that are walkable, and bike or drive to Penticton. The vineyard is a nice spot to stroll out to the pergola to enjoy a glass of wine and relax.

What makes this property unique

A vineyard experience
Enjoy the quail, bunnies, and beauty of the surroundings.
5 minute walk to the KVR biking and walking trail, surrounding vineyards, breweries, and restaurants
