Explore-the-estate interactive 3D
A self-guided twin a visitor orbits in the browser: terraces, tasting room, the approach off the road. Embed it on your site and an out-of-province guest can walk the place before they pick a date.
Aerial · Naramata Bench · Demonstration capture
Map your vineyard, build a 3D tour,and shoot the bench.
We map the canopy, build a 3D tour visitors can walk before they book, and shoot the bench the way it looks in the last hour of light. Flown and processed from Summerland, just across the lake.

A bench built differently
See which block to walk first this season.
The Naramata Bench is a run of terraces and aspects falling toward the lake, where vines a few rows apart sit on different soil, slope, and sun. One flight lays the whole estate out as strong, medium, and weak zones, so you know which block to walk first.
SLOPE
Slope & drainage in one block
Water moves down the slope and pools where the grade flattens, and the canopy follows. A multispectral map draws those zones so you can manage them separately.
ASPECT
Aspect & sun exposure
A south-facing terrace ripens on a different clock than the row that turns toward the lake. Five vigor indices, read against a reflectance panel, show where exposure is pushing the canopy and where it lags.
VARIABILITY
Block-to-block variability
Boutique estates farm many small blocks, each its own varietal and history. One capture lays them side by side, so you can see how each is tracking and which needs attention first.
The maps show observed vigor variability: zones identified for grower and agronomist review, never a diagnosis and never a treatment prescription.
Calibrated multispectral · the core service
See where vigor is strong and where it falls off, so you can put water and crew where they're needed.
From the air you read every terrace at once: where vigor is strong, where it falls off, which rows to walk. A whole-estate picture before veraison, and a baseline you can fly again next year if you want to compare.
Each flight reads five indices (NDVI, NDRE, GNDVI, OSAVI, LCI). A zone that reads low across several is a stronger signal than one that dips alone, and a reflectance-panel capture keeps maps comparable across dates and block to block. The kind of thing we deliver is a plain-language report and a georeferenced map set, scoped to what your blocks need.
Winery marketing · explore-the-estate 3D
Let visitors walk your estate online before they book a tasting.
A guest chooses a bench winery for the arrival: the view from the terrace, the walk between the vines. The same flight that maps your canopy builds an interactive 3D tour and a reel of the estate.
Cinematic vineyard marketing
Passes along the rows in the last hour of light, a slow reveal of the terraces stepping down to the water, and short vertical cuts for social feeds: footage for the website, wine-club emails, and the tasting-room screen.
For wineries that host weddings, we can document the grounds and ceremony terrace for your booking page too. What you get is set at the scope call. Empty or staged grounds only, never live events or crowds.
Lakefront estate media
Show the setting first. A buyer often falls for the place before they read the listing.
The bench is lined with private estates: the privacy, the drop to the water. A cinematic reveal and an interactive twin carry that where ground photos can't, so a remote buyer can walk the property before they fly in.
Aerial & interactive listing media
A 30-to-90-second cinematic reveal graded for the last hour of light, low-oblique and top-down aerials, and an interactive twin a remote buyer can walk.
Dated property records
A georeferenced, time-stamped capture of the home and grounds: a baseline before a renovation, a sale, or a season of change.
Drone roof inspections
High-resolution roof and exterior imagery, captured without ladders, for the owner and their roofer to review. Visual imagery only, not a structural, engineering, or insurance assessment.

Questions & answers
Drone services on the bench, answered.
Can you fly the steep, terraced blocks on the bench?
Yes. Slope and terracing are part of what the capture is built to read. The elevation model carries the relief, so a map of a terraced block reads as true as a map of flat ground.
Is the airspace over the Naramata Bench a problem for flying?
Mostly not. The bench sits largely in rural, uncontrolled airspace. Where a site does need coordination, it's handled during planning, before anything flies.
What does a winery receive from an estate tour?
An interactive 3D twin you can embed on your site, aerial and cinematic footage, and short social cuts, built from the same capture as a crop-health map. Deliverables are set at the scope call.
Are the vigor maps a diagnosis of what's wrong in the block?
No. The maps show observed vigor variability and identify zones for grower and agronomist review. They are not a diagnosis and never a treatment prescription. The cause, and what to do about it, is a call for you and your agronomist.
