History
Painted Rock Estate Winery began in the late 1990s with John and Trish Skinner's belief in the Okanagan Valley's potential. In 2004, the family purchased a 56-acre bench overlooking Skaha Lake in Penticton, British Columbia — land that was once the largest apricot orchard in the British Commonwealth and had been left fallow since the 1980s. They named it Painted Rock in honour of 500 year-old pictographs discovered behind the property. Over the next year the team conducted detailed site analysis while preparing the land for planting in 2005. The estate is dedicated to producing terroir-driven wines from its single vineyard, renowned for bold single-varietal reds and its flagship blend, Red Icon.
