Can you tell us about your background and your company?

Upper Bench Winery and Creamery is BC’s only winery and creamery. Located in Penticton, the venture is a dream come true for Shana and Gavin Miller. Gavin is Upper Bench’s winemaker, crafting one-of-a-kind Bordeaux-style reds and crisp, dry whites, and Shana has created her own line of Blue, Brie, and washed-rind cheeses.

Guests can enjoy the culinary magic of Upper Bench wine and cheese pairings by becoming members of the Corks & Curds Club, which offers quarterly home deliveries of premium wines and cheeses. The Millers co-own Upper Bench with partners Margareta and Wayne Nystrom, who contribute a wealth of experience in the hospitality sector and entrepreneurial expertise to the venture.
