https://riverbench.com/our-wine/ Riverbench Vineyard was established in 1973, when it’s first Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes were planted on the property.
(463)

Certified-sustainable boutique winery dedicated to Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wines from a single vineyard on the bank of the ancient Sisquoc River, known as the Santa Maria Bench. Since then, some of the most renowned wineries in Santa Barbara County have purchased our fruit for their own wines. Take in the vineyard views from our Santa Maria Valley tasting room - a restored 1920’s craftsman style house on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. Our garden, with a bocce ball court and horseshoe pit, is ideal for a wine country picnic.

Harvest is officially underway at Riverbench 🍇

We kicked things off July 17 with a small pick of Pinot Meunier for an outside sparkling program, followed by our first Riverbench harvest on July 28 with Wente Clone Chardonnay and Pommard Clone Pinot Noir, nearly 40 days earlier than the 2025 season.

We’re moving quickly through the vineyard. Pinot Noir is nearly 75% complete, with harvest expected to wrap by the end of the week. Chardonnay is 80% complete, with the remaining fruit coming from the 50+ year-old vines surrounding the tasting room. These historic vines are notorious for lagging behind, so we expect to harvest them in the next 2–3 weeks.

An early, fast-moving vintage is taking shape. We can’t wait to see what this season brings.

We had the sweetest visitors at Riverbench this week! Eve and Tug spent the day exploring the garden and soaking up the sunshine. We love welcoming our furry friends to the estate and these two definitely stole the show.
