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! Benson Vineyards is 100% estate. What does this mean?

The location was beautiful, but the woman doing the "tasting" was rude and didn't do anything to help out. I carried the wine outside and went back in to get second pour. We did get there a little late in the day, but we had been to other wineries in the area where customers showed up late and they were not treated this way. I ended up buying two bottles of wine, but I was SO disappointed in the service. We are from Oregon and so won't be in that area again for some time, if ever. The other wineries were professional and friendly. She was just in a big hurry to get out of there and could have been

Came here as part of a bachelorette party and this was an amazing place to get food, drink wine and listen to live music! They have a lot of covered patio seating and some seating indoors (in ac). Great pizza and charcuterie board. Nice to have many food options at a winery. The location itself was STUNNING. The vineyards against the water and mountain range was gorgeous. They also had decent amount of parking and are family/kid friendly. Would definitely come back!

I loved the beautiful property and lake views, but did not love the customer service. Their wine was pretty good with a large variety, so we took quite a few bottles home. One of my favorites in the tasting room that I bought was the Reserve Merlot. But when I opened it at home, it was terrible. Clearly it turned somehow, because it was thin, vinegary, and a little sweet. I emailed them twice about it, but they ignored me, so I guess they don't really care. I shouldn't be surprised I suppose, the tasting room staff weren't very attentive or friendly either. I would have returned there on our next

How anyone could rate this place with less than 5 stars is a complete and unfounded mystery! This is a beautiful and fun winery in a resort town... It's usually lively and never snooty, but if for some reason you don't like fun and do like pretentious, I suggest finding some claustrophobic, dark hole of a tasting room with no live music and overpriced wine. Benson radiates the opposite and I am so glad for it!! The wine, the views, the staff/service, the food and the ambiance chalk full of vacation vibes are not to be missed! I'd ditch our lakehouse in a hot minute if they'd let me stay the night

I hope you like your wines sweet and your servers salty. For the view, it is a must see. Do go up the hill and check it out and do enjoy the delicious pizza downstairs. But do your tastings at the better wineries down the hill. And for the woman behind the counter who asked to see ID for 2 of 4 in our party, then proceeded to explain rudely why; that's not going to sell you any bottles. Pro tip: if you aren't sure about 1, card the whole party. It's called good business, polite, how you get tips, etc.

I’m members at several wineries over in Chelan. Finally went to Benson’s up the hill from LCW which I have also been a member at. Benson’s have $5. Tastings with fours choices. Some wineries are going toooo far with their tasting prices. Which I have chosen not to patronize. This is a great place, with a great view, great wines and reasonable bottle prices. Lots of reds. I purchased a case of this wine on special for $16. A bottle. It has 6 different grapes which make for a rich full bodied taste. Best of all you don’t have to be a member to enjoy the prices.

We make it here about once a year to taste & buy some bottles. Chelan is mostly a summer destination, but we have only visited the winery in the winter during Winterfest. Winter is still a very nice time to visit - the snow covered vineyards are very pretty. The tasting room is absolutely beautiful with great views. Lots of room to sit and enjoy your tastes or a glass. The deck looks out over the grounds. The grounds are beautiful and I would imagine fun to do a tour and explore in the summer. The wines are very good. Usually I love reds, but here I always end up taking home a bottle of the Curious
