The Golden Mile Bench

Tucked away in the heart of British Columbia’s South Okanagan is the Golden Mile Bench-a gem within Canadian wine country and also the nation’s very first sub-appellation. Its renown was given to a singular combination of soil, climate, and topography that sets it apart from any other place. Actually, Golden Mile Bench used to be orchards and farms throughout most of the early 20th century. In fact, it wasn’t really until the 1960s that realization for the outstanding potential of the wine world hit home with local vintners. Fast-forwarding to nowadays, it’s literally the boiling pot of world-class wineries, from Tinhorn Creek and Hester Creek to Gehringer Brothers, each bottle proclaiming volumes of this picturesque landscape.

Golden Mile Bench offers that magic by bringing all your five senses into play. Just think of the walk through vineyards, bathed in golden rays, with crispy fragrance wafts around freshly crushed grapes and then sip the wine that brings together a taste like the richness of surrounding history. These wineries offer sampling wine but an opportunity to live the romance of winemaking. From behind-the-scenes tours to alfresco dining with breathtaking valley views, experiences are extreme to the variety, much like the wines themselves. From a velvety-smooth Merlot and a zesty Pinot Gris to decadent Icewine, Golden Mile Bench has something in store for each and every palate.
