Bench 1775 Winery

Our Okanagan winery is named after our address, 1775 Naramata Road, in Penticton, British Columbia. Located on the southern shore of Lake Okanagan along the Naramata Bench, Bench 1775 Winery offers breathtaking views and unique wines that celebrate both land and place.

Wines from Bench 1775 are produced with the unique expression of fruit grown in the Okanagan Valley. Our fruit is grown in multiple vineyards spanning up and down the Okanagan Valley as well as a small vineyard in the Similkameen Valley.

Bench 1775 (formerly known as Paradise Ranch Wines Corp.) is one of the only two Okanagan Wineries producing icewine and late harvest wine since 1997. The venture was originally based on the picturesque Paradise Ranch vineyard, a dramatic lakefront property north of Naramata.

In 2006, the winery also released a line of icewines under its new Whistler Icewine label. Whistler wines were created in the spirit of celebration: for the Olympics which were held in the iconic Canadian location of Whistler.

In June 2011, Paradise Ranch Wines Corp purchased the beautiful vineyard at 1775 Naramata Road (Soaring Eagle Winery) in the celebrated geographical region of Naramata Bench and rebranded the winery as Bench 1775 Winery. Under its “Bench 1775” “Paradise Ranch” “Whistler” and “Soaring Eagle” brands, Bench 1775 currently produces an award-winning portfolio of icewines and table wines it sells domestically across Canada and exports to several markets, the most active being Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Europe.
