Our wines are created in the vineyard, but we also employ the highest-quality winemaking equipment and processes to bring forth what nature provides. Modern destemming, pressing and pumping equipment facilitate simple, clean winemaking in 100% stainless steel fermenters. Our Syrah ages in 100% new French and American oak for about 18 months.

Visitors are welcomed in our tasting room, which affords a spectacular view over Bench vineyards and Okanagan Lake. We’re open full time during wine festivals and chosen weekends during the summer, and happily accommodate appointments at other times during the year. .

During wine festivals we occasionally offer barrel tastings of our coming Syrah vintages. Tours of the winery are available, space and time permitting. Call ahead for availability.
