AMENITIES
We hope you will enjoy a tranquil home base for you to relax and regenerate as you explore the Naramata region.
Relax in a lounger poolside while you take in views of Okanagan Lake. Our gardens and grounds are famous locally with over 50 roses and an amazing waterfall feature. The grounds offer ample privacy. You can enjoy a glass of wine and a take-out pizza in the gazebo with a fire pit.
Combine sight-seeing and exercise around Naramata on one of our e-bikes (ideal for the KVR trail to Penticton or exploring the wineries). No reservation is required as we have enough to accommodate our guests. (1st day rental included) For mountain bike enthusiasts, check out the 3 Blind Mice Trail across from the property. We don't supply mountain bikes but if you bring your own, we are bike friendly and are equipped for basic repairs.
Naramata is known for it’s wine, but also cycling, and there are many options for golfing in the Okanagan. Please contact us for more information on Naramata activities.
The local favorite and our #1 choice is Terroir at the Serendipity Winery, 990 Lower Debeck Rd in Naramata (1.5km, just around the corner from us!). Chef Tristan will wow you with his creative tasting menu featuring local ingredients while you sip a glass of Viognier and watch the sunset over the vineyards. The menu changes every couple of weeks so we can't recommend a particular favorite, but you won't be disappointed. Small venu so phone ahead. (604-671-3433)
The Kitchen at DaSilva winery offers an amazing tapas style dining experience with a variety of mouth-watering tapas with a Portuguese flair from chef Abul Adame. 375 Upper Bench Road, (~10 km from the Bench d'Or) 1 800 851 0903. The tapas comes out as it is ready, so be prepared to spend a couple of hours, but definitely worth it.
An extra 5 minute drive will get you to Elma at 994 Lakeshore Drive in Penticton. Elma offers a Turkish-inspired cuisine featuring local ingredients and show-casing Okanagan wines. Small plates for sharing perfectly suits their amazing menu that abounds with so many delicious options to try.
Poplar Grove at 425 Middle Bench Rd, is known for its long-standing excellence. It is open 7 days per week (useful on a Monday) and features chef Stacy Johnston. The Restaurant provides a beautiful lake view and offers delicious fresh California-fusion cuisine. The wines are excellent.
