benson vineyards estate winery

This is a treat for someone who drinks wine. The tastings were one great one after another. The patio is the perfect place for a picnic and glass of wine and breathtaking views. We appreciated the hospitality and "left over" chocolates from Valentine's day - DELISH!

This winery is a MUST if you are visiting the Lake Chelan area. It is beautifully situated up on a hill and the winery itself is gorgeous. The views from the winery are beautiful. You can see the lake and all of the surrounding vineyards. The tasting is FREE and the wine is some of the best in the area. We can't wait to go back to Benson!

While their wines are a bit pricey, you won't be disappointed! Sitting and sipping a glass of wine while taking in one of the most beautiful views around is well worth the drive up the hill. Wine tasting is free and generous. A definite visit on every trip to Chelan!

Took my wife here for a little wine tasting on 8-11-14. The building and grounds are very well-appointed, and the staff appeared to be wine professionals. The tastings (up to 5) were at no cost, and no rush. They had a very large selection of wines as well. We stayed out on the deck and soaked up the sun for a while.

Wine tasting all day and then came to this fantastic place! Wow! Great wine, a few bites to pick from but the view and the grounds are to die for! This is a must stop for everyone!!!

This is a fun place to visit and see. A little difficult to find, but well worth it. First the view is spectacular, probably the best of the 8 wineries we have visited in the Chelan/Manson area. Second the wine tasting is free, no strings. This is the only winery we visited where this is the case. The best some others offered was to waive the fee if you purchased wine. They also offered free shipping on cases, another first that we have found. Finally, and most importantly, their red wines were excellent excellent and very reasonably priced. When we next go back there this will be our "must" stop.

Four of us visited the winery yesterday, a very cold but sunny early afternoon. The view just knocked our socks off... and the wines were all wonderful. We sat inside in comfy leather chairs around the fire. A couple other hardy people sat on the balcony enjoying a couple glasses of wine. I could have settled in for the afternoon, but we were on to other wineries. We bought some outstanding syrah, but also loved the chardonnay and the Rhythm, among others.

Love Bensons -- First of all the wine is wonderful, especially the Chardonnay and the Viognier. I like white as you can see. Second, the view is fantastic -- the whole lake is out before your eyes. Third -- they often have great music that everyone comes and listens to and dances to!! What a great place to spend an afternoon. The people are great too!! Bensons is one of our favorites in Lake Chelan.

This is one of my favorite places ever! Gorgeous views and awesome wine! You cannot go wrong with Benson. The staff is super friendly as well.

Great wine and a lovely wine tasting experience. Worth the trip. Nice landscaped winery, nice views and excellent hosts. One of our best tasting experiences and we visited all 20 wineries in 5 days in the Lake Chelan/Manson area!

Absolutely gorgeous setting overlooking Lake Chelan. No charge for tasting and the tastes are generous. Wines are very good and they do ship to several retailers in western WA. If you only have time to visit one winery in the area visit Benson.

We stopped by Benson's for wine tasting and were blown away by the beautiful setting. The wine was excellent and one of the owners took the time to tell us the history of the winery. We appreciated the free tasting and took home two bottles of wine. Benson's is a very special place!

Yesterday we got back to Benson Winery where we enjoyed another bottle of their very good Chard and a cheese platter while sitting out on the balcony. I've gone several times and always take visitors there. This is the third or fourth time my brother from SoCal has gone with me...this time his girlfriend was with us. She's traveled extensively throughout wine regions of CA and Europe and couldn't stop snapping pics and sending to her friends. The wine is of course, wonderful and the views are unparalled...undoubtedly the best in entire area..vineyards, lake, hills. Postcard perfect!

This place has grown so much over the last few years. one of the best views and most relaxing grounds to sip wine on. Family owned and operated they love their work and it shows!

This place was surprisingly beautiful. It is on the hill above the Lake Chelan Winery. The sign down on the road is actually pretty small and can be missed - don't do that. The buildings are of wonderful architecture and the grounds around the buildings are beautiful. They do wedding here too - a perfect place with a great high view over Lake Chelan. We tasted wine (complimentary 5 tastes), found our favorite and bought a bottle. This place was the fanciest and nicest place of the wineries we visited in the Lake Chelan area.
