Riverbench Vineyard is located along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in Santa Maria, California. Just a 15 minute drive from Route 101, their vineyard is planted on the bank of the Sisquoc River, an area known as the Santa Maria Bench.

At Riverbench, you can choose from several tasting flights of their Pinot Noir, Chardonnay or sparkling wines while enjoying expansive vineyard views from their restored 1920’s craftsman style house. Picnic benches and lots of shade around their tasting room make for a great place to spend the afternoon with friends.

In their gift shop, you’ll find lots of great local products, including Susie Q’s seasoning and pinquito beans - just be sure to call before you visit to confirm that they have what you’re looking for in stock.
