Bench 1775 - Naramata Bench

The 20 km-long Naramata Bench begins at Penticton, British Columbia, and runs north, on the east side, above Okanagan Lake. The narrow strip of precious vineland sits in the center of B.C.'s largest wine region, the Okanagan Valley. The many wineries and vineyards that occupy the bench have been founded by a patchwork of people from different economic backgrounds, countries and levels of expertise in winegrowing. In the beginning, many settled and planted what they loved to drink and the forgiving site meant that, surprisingly, many thrived.

Valeria Tait is the General Manager, winemaker and viticulturist of the six-year-old Bench 1775 winery, located almost at the half-way mark of the Bench. She comments on why this variety can exist and on the evolution of winegrowing there from her perspective as a 27-year veteran of working in vineyards throughout Okanagan Valley. We learn a bit more about being a new winery and her approach to running a winery.

While Anthony Gismondi interviews Tait in this video, you'll enjoy the stunning views from their patio and glimpse at the laid-back lifestyle of the Okanagan Valley. You'll want to see the final shot.
