Upper Bench Estate Winery and Creamery

Upper Bench Winery and Creamery is the perfect place to stop for a wine and cheese tasting, it's also a great place to catch a bite on the patio.  You can enjoy a charcuterie board featuring Shana's delightful artisan cheeses, appie-up to share a sampling of culinary treats, or order an authentic Italian pizza in their newly appointed patio restaurant.

We started with a fresh and simple salad then moved onto an amazing thin-crust capicola pizza paired with their Pinot Noir. We chased this with an unconventional date and soft blue cheese pizza that easily doubled as dessert.

If you're not stopping at the patio you can order a picnic lunch to take-away. Expect an assortment of three Bench cheeses, crackers, preserves and tempting delights all designed for pairing and sharing. Our favourite grab and go wine is always, their chardonnay. COVID 19 protocols are in place.
