About Da Silva Vineyards
Vines climb the benches on both sides of the valley here, on ground that lifts away from the lake and catches more sun than the flats below. Da Silva Vineyards sits at 375 Upper Bench Road North, up off the valley floor above Penticton.
The name suggests a connection to that bench land and the wine trade built on it, though the practical side of a visit is worth settling ahead of time: what is available to buy, whether cases or larger orders can be arranged, and whether a stop needs to be booked ahead or can be made on the way past. Shipping and group visits are both worth raising on the phone in advance, since arrangements like that vary from one place to the next.
The number is 1-800-851-0903 and there is a site at dasilvavineyards.com, either of which will settle the practical questions before you commit to the drive. Bench roads are narrower and steeper than the grid down in the city, so allow more time than the distance suggests, and plan for a driver if the trip is likely to involve wine. Late summer and early autumn bring the most traffic up onto the benches generally, as harvest activity across the valley picks up and wine country traffic follows it.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
