WHO We are Matthew SherLOCK and Ross HackWORTH. We are also our wonderful seasonal and part time employees who get us through the crazy times. WHAT Honest, single vineyard wines of time and place - priced for everyday consumption. WHERE Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley British Columbia Canada. 1060 Poplar Grove Road. Lock & Worth Winery shares a tasting room with Poplar Grove Cheese. When you visit you can taste both our wines and Poplar Groves artisanal cheeses together. WHY We strongly believe that one should be able to drink high quality, single vineyard (non-commodity), small production wines that are priced reasonably from British Columbia. We plan to be around 20 years from now, not by becoming a large company but by creating a sustainable business within our community. For us part of that means making wines that always over deliver. HOW We spend all of our money on our wines, not our marketing. We eschew heavy bottles, advertising and fancy labels. In the winery we use old French Oak (not expensive) and have very little in the way of technology (still use basket presses). We are also not part of any marketing groups nor do we submit wines to award or trade shows - all of which cost money. Every penny we save goes toward the quality of our wines and to keeping their prices stable. We hope you enjoy.

I love going to this winery. The view at the end of the vineyard is beautiful. They make popular grove cheese there and if you get there early enough you can watch. The semillon snd cab franc are delicious l, especially paired with their cheeses. Off the beaten path but worth it.

Purdy’s has been Canada’s innovative chocolatier since 1907. Proudly born in BC, this family-run establishment has been wowing generations with their high quality chocolate creations – everything from classic hedgehogs, marshmallow bars, Himalayan pink salt, to more modern selections like vegan chocolate and lemon blackberry chocolate pieces – for the last 112 years. I doubt there’s very many in BC who’ve yet to taste the high quality flavours and creations of this national treasure. For me, Purdy’s has become much more of a “special occasions” stop rather than an everyday thing but, when growing up, the family always made it a point to stop by this delectable sweet shop. Growing up, Purdy’s chocolates were always a treat – especially because there were none nearby. Whenever the family and I would travel across the Province, making our way to the Fraser Valley, you can bet that Purdy’s was a “must visit” location. Specifically, a lot of my memories hedge around the Cottonwood Mall unit in Chilliwack. Many a fun time was spent wandering through this now modest mall, but Purdy’s always beckoned and called. Here is where we bought plenty of milk chocolate hedgehogs, bars, peanut butter treats and various of dark chocolates. My younger brother would always go for the ice cream. When you think about it, it really is quite remarkable how Purdy’s – once a very small operation – has woven its way into the cultural fabric of the Province and, more recently, the country. For example, there are 36 locations in BC alone. Indeed, they’re a good example of a specialty store that punches well above its weight. Need proof? Well, there are a number of rural-area grocery stores in BC that get special shipments of Purdy’s during notable occasions like Christmas with the sole intent of selling the chocolates at inflated prices . . . and people definitely do buy them up. Furthermore, many a school and other local fundraisers use Purdy’s as a draw. Buy from them – as I have in the past – and get various chocolate treats at slightly discounted prices. Who can say no to that, especially when we’re talking about delicious peanut butter fingers and hedgehogs?! In any event, there are 2 Purdy’s locations listed on TripAdvisor – this one at 700 W Georgia Street (Pacific Centre Mall) and a non-existent location on Chester Street. The Pacific Centre Mall location is a fine and fair representative of all Purdy’s kiosks because the units all basically have the same layout. Here you will find all of the Purdy’s classics (peanut butter fingers, hedgehogs, classic chocolate bars, Himalayan pink salts, sweet Georgia Browns, chocolate lolly’s, chocolate bark), specialty chocolates (truffles, fruit-based selections, toffee bars, matcha), seasonal offerings, gift boxes and ice cream treats. As I said above, I now tend to treat Purdy’s more like a special occasions stop because, well, I don’t eat a lot of chocolate anymore and, besides, the prices for this “100% sustainable chocolate” is getting up there. Thus, I usually just buy it for those who really enjoy it. In this regard, the Purdy’s in Pacific Centre is as good as any other – the staff have always been very helpful and point out ways in which you can save money (and maybe even buy a bit more chocolate!). It’s thumbs up, especially if you’re a chocolate lover! So, yes, Purdy’s is rife with memories for me, as I’m sure it is for many of us who visit these shops. The chocolate is of high quality; the staff are always very friendly regardless of the often heavy crowds; and they bring smiles to our faces. If you’ve yet to try Purdy’s, do yourself a favour and check them out. Highly recommended!
