BC Winegrowers - Lake Breeze Wine Farm (Naramata Bench)
Winemaker Garron Elmes has made every bottle of wine at Lake Breeze since the day it opened 20 years ago. From South Africa to Penticton his arrival coincided with the launch of many small estates along what is now one of the most famous winegrowing benches in British Columbia. Today the winery is a premier producer of pinot blanc and joins a small cadre of producers making exciting pinot noir across the valley. Join us on ‘The Patio at Lake Breeze’ as we discuss the secrets of the Naramata Bench and how they relate to the style of Lake Breeze wines.

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.
