Upper Bench Winery
Bordeaux-style reds, crisp dry whites
Upper Bench Winery & Creamery is BC's only winery and creamery.
The place.
Located in Penticton, the venture is a dream come true for Shana and Gavin Miller. Gavin is Upper Bench’s head winemaker, crafting award winning, one-of-a-kind Bordeaux-style reds and crisp, dry whites, and Shana has created her own line of Blue, Brie, and washed-rind cheese.
Guests can enjoy the culinary magic of Upper Bench wine and cheese pairings by becoming members of the Corks & Curds Club, which offers quarterly home deliveries of premium wines and cheeses.
During the warmer months Upper Bench offers sit down guided tastings of their Estate wines and hand-crafted cheese on their sunny covered Patio. Visitors can also relax on the sunny Patio and enjoy authentic Neapolitan style pizza or a cheese board created from The Oven at Upper Bench.

Merlot 2021 ‘Naramata Bench’Smooth and easy drinking, but full of flavour, the ‘Limited Release’ Naramata Bench Merlot is one of Upper Bench’s most popular reds. Deep garnet in colour, with bold aromas of black cherry, cacao, liquorice and graphite. Flavours of pomegranate, cherry, cloves and sage are supported by a lively acidity. Aging 18 months in French oak (30% new) leads to a complex wine with a savoury finish, structure and finesse.
