Upper Bench Winery & Creamery

Situated in Penticton, at the gateway to the picturesque Naramata Bench, Upper Bench offers a unique experience to locals and visitors by offering pairings of their two passions: artisan wine and hand-crafted cheese.

This year, winemaker Gavin Miller is very excited to add two more reds to Upper Bench's wine flight: a smooth Cabernet Sauvignon and a rich, bold Zweigelt in addition to their award-winning Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, as well as a Pinot Blanc and Merlot. All of Upper Bench's wines come from the mature vines on Upper Bench's unique seven-acre seven varietal vineyard and a select few other vineyards on the picturesque Naramata Bench.

Cheesemaker Shana Miller continues to create her unique and highly sought-after, hand-crafted artisan cheeses in her on site, CFIA registered state of the art creamery. She now has eight delectable cheeses in her aging rooms: U&Brie, Gold, Gold French, Gold Italian, Okanagan Sun2, Grey Baby, King Cole, and occasionally Moody Cow.

Come and watch Shana hand-craft her cheeses through the creamery window, speak to Gavin about his latest releases and enjoy a wine flight perfectly paired with one of our cheese platters on our sunny Naramata Bench patio. Accessible to all.
