What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on July 18, 2024. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on July 18, 2024. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    Yummy wines, great vibe. Great informative and relaxed tasting. A bit funny that the sign said no room on the patio, with empty tables out there… we weren’t staying around but others were confused.

    We stopped in at Bench 1775 Winery later in the afternoon and had such a great experience! Even though they were busy and we hadn’t booked ahead, the staff was welcoming and provided excellent service. The wine tasting was fantastic, with some truly memorable pours 🍷, and we stayed for dinner at the bistro. The dim sum and charcuterie were both delicious and paired perfectly with the wines. Beautiful spot and definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

    WOW! What customer service! I was on a girl's weekend trip (my 40th birthday!) and we came across Bench 1775 Winery. Not only is their wine fantastic *love the Pinot Noir!* the customer service was also top notch. We came after the summer season and even though there wasn't food service the owner knew how hungry *and cold* we were from our bike ride so he served us DELICIOUS Dim Sum, wine, and even surprised me with mini cheesecakes and sparklers and everyone sang me happy birthday. I was truly amazing and I hope to be back! Talk about a Canadian welcome! :)

    This place is truly authentic to BC! The patio view is incredible! My mum came to visit from winnipeg and every single staff member made us feel so special! Rachel took care of us and she is amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and outgoing! She helped with our wine tasting and gave us a personalized experience while explaining on each wine tasted! We came at 2pm on a Thursday and it was beautiful, quiet and serene. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nice tasting and great view!

    My favorite winery on this trip and we only came here because we’re rained in. Tasting was excellent and all the wines were delicious! My first ice wine tasting as well. The lady was very nice and professional. It’s always nice to find a new favorite unexpectedly. Made my wet rainy day brighter!

    Super disappointing experience trying to visit. Arrived on a beautiful sunny afternoon after the rain had passed 2 hours prior. The first girl was very pleasant, he asian girl who came over after said "the seats are wet" and would not sit us outside. I'd have happily wiped my own seat to help her to continue avoiding work but alas, no go. Such a shame as it had been a winery on my list for one time. Went to the neighboring winery Moraine where the selection of wines to taste was x3 what was available at Bench 1775, and had a beautiful time. So thanks actually for helping us avoid!

    We LOVED this winery. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They treated us so well and when they found out we had a recently married couple among us they gave us extra care. We tried the wine tasting and had lunch here. Food was super delicious and wine was excellent. We highly recommend it. Will be back here and highly recommend it to all.

    This place hit the right mark for my partner and I. We walked in and were immediately greeted and welcomed. The staff were incredible, friendly and joked around with all of the guests. We started with a tasting and ended up purchasing the Viognier. We stayed for the patio and the food. The dumplings and Korean BBQ pasta were great. We had the perfect view and once again a very accommodating bunch of staff. We plan to come back again.

    The knowledgable Katrina served us a tasting and we enjoyed every bit of it! Thanks for the expertise on the delicious wines. We took a short walk around the beautiful vineyard and area afterwards. Great views of the lake.
