About Us
Our Land
Our Mediterranean-inspired estate winery overlooks Lake Chelan, one of Washington's newest wine growing regions. Our warm, north shore, south facing slope vineyard produces premium-quality Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Syrah, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, and Port.
It's all about the wine here at Benson Vineyards Estate Winery and we feel we have the perfect setting...from the quietness of the first morning sun, to the dramatic sunset in the evening. You will not find a more beautiful and relaxing area in Lake Chelan!
Our Wines
Benson Vineyards is 100% estate. What does this mean? We only produce wines made from our own grapes grown here on the north shore in the Lake Chelan AVA. We control all aspects of production, growing, fermentation, bottling, and sales & distribution. Quality and approachability are the hallmarks of our red and white wines. Our 5000 case production facility is located on our vineyard site next to our tasting & retail sales facility. This means we can harvest from the vineyard and move the fruit to our fermentation rooms very quickly. No trucks. No shipping. No fruit from outside our estate. This process is the best for our wines and more importantly for the environment. We have a very low carbon footprint as we minimize the use of transportation of fruit to the winery and the trucking of finished product away from the facility as most sales are right here on site. Our fruit is sustainably grown with very little inputs except for sun, water, and the occasional canopy spray to keep the molds and mildew away from our grapes.
