About Play Winery

Our Mission Statement

The name “Play” refers to theatre and encompasses the pursuit and overall expression of the Arts.

The rebranding of Play Estate Winery over the past 2 years, and the recent extensive renovations, have reinforced this theme.

In the words of William Shakespeare, “All the worlds a stage, and all men and women merely players.”

At Play and Sonetto Italian Restaurant, we embrace our roles to both entertain and educate, while providing a genuine customer experience. Our mission is to create a mini escape from day-to-day life, highlighting exquisite Italian cuisine, extraordinary wines, and a majestic unobstructed world class view of the Skaha Lake and surrounding mountains.

Rebecca Ruggeri stepped in as winemaker in May of 2022 bringing with her extensive knowledge of cool climate winemaking from her experience of working in premium wineries in New Zealand, Australia, California, Ontario and British Columbia.

Play Estate Winery and Sonetto are located just minutes from downtown Penticton, on Skaha Hills Drive, overlooking beautiful Skaha Lake.
