Why does this West Kelowna winery look like a ruined castle?
Jason Parkes has outdone himself.
The punk rocker and rebel winemaker of Jason Parkes Customs just opened Crown & Thieves in West Kelowna, a winery that defies explanation.
Located in a vineyard just off Brown Road, the winery rises four storeys and resembles the ruins of a 400-year-old castle.
Yet inside, the vibe and decor is Prohibition-era speakeasy and haunted mansion parlour.
Parkes other properties are also unconventional, including The Hatch and Black Swift wineries, also in West Kelowna, and Truck 59 Cider, next door to Crown & Thieves.
But Crown & Thieves has upped the ante.
