For Episode 53, we explore the picturesque Beamsville Bench in Canada’s Niagara region with Harald Thiel, founder and owner of Hidden Bench Estate Winery. Known for its premium wines crafted from organic estate-grown fruit, Hidden Bench focuses on cool climate varietals, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Harald Thiel’s journey from a successful business career to becoming a vintner is deeply rooted in his European heritage, where wine was a family staple. Established in 2003, Hidden Bench embodies Thiel's vision of producing world-class wines Canadians can proudly present.

During our conversation, Thiel emphasizes sustainability and organic farming, key pillars of Hidden Bench’s winemaking philosophy. The winery utilizes geothermal technology and solar panels, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Thiel also discusses the challenges of climate change and the innovative practices they employ to ensure quality and sustainability.
