Explore the historic Pilliod Opera House, now home to Benfield Wines, and discover one of downtown Swanton’s longtime cultural landmarks. Built in 1896, the opera house once hosted performances, lectures, and community gatherings and remains an important part of the village’s historic streetscape.

Hosted by the Swanton Historical Society, this tour offers visitors insight into the building’s history, ongoing restoration efforts, and its adaptive reuse as a modern winery and event space. The experience also highlights how entertainment and recreation shaped Swanton’s downtown history, with connections to nearby community gathering places such as the former K.C. Lanes bowling alley, now the Swanton Sports Center.
