We finished our 4.5 acres of bud removal today dropping the bud count to about 15 buds per vine. As you can see we also started tucking the Ortega into the next set of trellis wires – soon it will be hard to keep up!
We’re more than ready to crack this new vintage for you! We’ll be releasing our Pinot Gris, Pinot Gris (barrel aged), Ortega, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir Rose. We hope you’ll drop in over the weekend and say hello, meet some of our new staff and stay awhile. Consider buying a case of your favorites and […]
We had such fun at this event last year! It’s at Market Square 560 Johnson St, and a great downtown local’s event put on by the Victoria Chamber of Commerce. There are gourmet food samples, local Saanich Peninsula wines, craft beer, ciders and specialty cocktails from our local spirit makers. Tickets are $50 and include […]
If you are interested in our island wine industry and I’m guessing you are if you are reading this blog there are organizations that you don’t want to miss exploring! We are just home from the Wine Islands Growers Association Conference this year held at the Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay. The first day was spent tasting tank samples of island red […]

Hoping everyone had a great winter! As we’d hoped we did have a long winter’s nap: we spent some time wandering in Asia but mainly enjoyed time with family and friends and enjoying the quiet of Saanich. Since early February we’ve been finishing and bottling 1200 cases and we have nearly finished pruning our 4.5 […]
Join us at the winery on this blustery winter day and try our newly released reds. Our 2014 Pinot Noir and 2014 Foch goes on sale today – such a great year for island reds! We also have a big selection of our 100% Saanich grown wines, jams and chutney on hand all delightfully gift […]
We are really happy with our 100% Saanich grown reds! Mother nature gave us some wonderful ripe fruit in 2014 – it’s not every year we feel we can make a good red burgundy so we think this deserves attention! Both wines are $18.17 a bottle pretax and if you buy a case that’s only $16.72 a bottle pretax – we think that is […]
November closes – we’ve been off grid (sort of). Worlds away we find they are pruning vines in Santorini – basket weaving the vines vs our VSP method.
