The Averill Creek Vineyard is the result of one man’s 30-year passion for wine. Over the past decade, physician Andy Johnston has been preparing for a dramatic career change by apprenticing in the vineyards of Italy, France, Australia, and New Zealand. Averill Creek is the vineyard of his dreams.

The winery is a 150 ton capacity winery built on the side of Mt Prevost.

Andy was drawn to Vancouver Island, in particular to the Cowichan Valley. This valley in the rain shadow of the Olympic Peninsula and the Malahat has long dry summers and very good grape growing soils; deep, with well-drained sand and gravel. The property has 46 acres on a steep southward slope. Over 1400 vines are currently planted, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Merlot

The Averill Creek Winery takes its name from the pretty little creek that cuts through the vineyard as it runs down the southern slopes of Mount Prevost into the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Averill Creek only uses screw tops to seal its wine. The wine maker believes this is the best way to preserve the natural quality of the wine over a long period of time. The winery's most recent launches include Prevost, a barrel-aged blend of maréchal foch, merlot and cabernet foch, and a blackberry dessert wine called Cowichan Black

Signature wines: Pinot Noir and barrel aged Pinot Gris

Winemaker: Daniel Dragert
Philosophy Focus on Estate wines from the Pinot Family

Located on Blue Grouse Road in a country forest setting; established in 1989 they feature a red wine made from Black Muscat. Dr. Hans H Kiltz Winemaker states "Accepting the challenge to be a vintner on Vancouver Island requires making a commitment. To Blue Grouse this means that the character of our wines must reflect this unique location and complement the regional cuisine of the West Coast in the best possible way."

The soil at Blue Grouse Vineyards is mainly a mixture of clay and sand, however there are also areas of gravelly soil. The winery grows only Vitis Vinifera, the real wine grapes introduced from Europe which are primarily cool climate varieties such as Bacchus Ortega, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Müller-Thurgau.

Signature Wines : Pinot Gris, Siegerrebe, Ortega, Bacchus, Pinot Noir, Dunkelfelder, Black Muscat

The vineyard at Cherry Point was established a few miles south of Cowichan Bay in 1990.Wine-growing was still new on Vancouver Island in 1990; consequently the vineyard was planted with several grape varieties in the search for the varietals that would grow best. After the grape trials, Cherry Point Vineyards became one of the first licensed wineries on Vancouver Island in 1994. In 2004 Cherry Point Vineyards was purchased by the Cowichan Tribes making it the forth winery in the world to be aboriginal owned. Today the winery is owned by Xavier and Maria Clara Bonilla

Today the vineyard produces award winning varietal wines from their main
varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Siegerrebe. They also produce highly popular blends like Coastal White and Coastal Red. The whites are crisp, and clean, brimming with varietal fruit. The reds have just a whisper of oak, allowing the true varietal flavour of these unique cool climate wines to shine through. The vineyard remains best known for its World Famous Cowichan Blackberry Dessert Wine and recently released a more aged version called Solera.

Winemaker : Dean Canadzichr
Philosophy: the production of hand-crafted premium wines made entirely on our own premises,
using 100% British Columbia grapes.

All by itself off the wine path in the northwest lies this new winery,owned and operated by Vaughan Chase and Ron Crema . The winery started by chance when some decorative Gewürztraminer did extremely well. This led to the planting of other varieties in 1996. Five acres in total. Hard work and difficult conditions plagued the winery for the next few years.

In 2003 the winery opened the its wine shop with only 150 cases but good wine sells and it provided some much need cash for future development.

The winery focus on German style wines that suit the local market of Port Alberni.

The winery currently has 12 acres of vines.

Opened May 2003 , as Victoria Estates located in the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. Described by noted author John Schreiner as One of the five best-designed wineries in British Columbia.

The winery was sold in 2005 to Kim Pullen. The winery has 25 acres with views of the valley and ocean; 11 acres are planted with Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris

The name Church & State Wines is intended to be representative of balance – the heart and the mind, traditions and technology, and the cellar and the vineyard. Balance is one of the defining characteristics of making a fine wine, and we feel our name pays homage to that.

The winery's Brentwood Bay location is well located for the many tourists who visit the area, and in one stop they get the best of two wine regions – Vancouver Island and the Okanagan Valley , where the majority of the winery's fruit is sourced. The winery sources Okanagan Valley fruit as Vancouver Island does not produce enough supply or diversity of classic vitis vinifera grapes.

Pullen has revamped the winery which is now a stunning salute to “modern meets rustic sophistication” in a grand room that utilizes natural timber and stone as well as gleaming metals and concrete. Large windows overlook the vineyard and invite the outside in, offering a deck with the perfect view of the surrounding landscape. Visitors to the winery seeking a light snack can order a plate of artisan cheeses, complete with fresh crackers and breads made onsite. Church & State Wines also offers a unique wine and chocolate program, where visitors taste four wines paired with chocolate truffles made locally. Pullen and his team invite people to the winery this summer to taste the new wines and have a wonderful winery experience

Church & State Wines has been named "2009 Winery to Watch" by Wine Press Northwest, "Top 25 Wineries in Canada" by Wine Access Magazine, and their 2006 Church & State Quintessential has just been named "Best Red Wine of the Year" at the 2009 All-Canadian Wine Championships.

The winery is owned by John and Cathy Windsor. They have 24 acres of land and have cleared 6.5 acres for their grapes consisting of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and the Island's largest planting of Gruner Veltliner, a luscious Austrian white. Their first release was a 2009 Vancouver Island Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc.

The Windsor's live on the property and they farm organically, without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Farm Manager, John Thomas, can be spotted driving a tractor/forklift, mending a fence or trellis, and assisting with the wine. Sons Chris and Ryan, and their wives Natalie and Helen, soon joined in, making it a true family affair

Located in the Cowichan Valley near Duncan. The owner is Dave Godfrey. "The valley is clearly a cool climate area, with all the advantages (and dangers) that designation implies. With a very short history (and global warming), nobody can really say what varieties will triumph, but our early choices indicate how we've placed our bets on the roulette table: Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, Chardonnay, Bacchus and Marachél Foch."

Winemaker: Dave Godfrey
Philosophy: We want to make wines of fundamental quality that people enjoy.
We attempt to keep the whole process, from vineyard to bottle, as natural as possible. Organic, biodynamic, eco-agro, whatever term you want to apply, there seems to be clear evidence that the healthier the terroir, the better the wine potential. The warm winters of the valley make it very easy to ferment and age without artificial intervention.

The gods made the land; the land makes the grapes; the grapes make the wine: the winemaker's task is to make sure he's as invisible as possible.

The family also produces balsamic vinegar. The vinegary, or acetaia, was expanded by 2,000 sq. ft. in 1999. It houses dozens of large "nursery" barrels and 108 ageing barrels custom made in Italy from chestnut, cherry, acacia, ash and oak.

A new picnic patio area was completed in 2011 and a beautiful new tasting room featuring solid local arbutus and maple bar tops and local fir flooring

The winery now use high quality screw caps on our still wines

Winemaker: Giordano Venturi
Philosophy: Each wine is an adventure woven around the season, the soil and the personalities of the varieties and winemakers. We add minimal amounts of sulphide at bottling to some of our wines. None is added to our Brut or dessert wine. To retain as much of the character of the grapes as possible, we neither fine nor sterile-filter, so storage temperatures become important: we recommend 10° to 12°C (50° to 55°F). After so much effort in the vineyard and winery, we are not willing to compromise on quality by putting an unpredictable piece of bark in the neck of the bottle.

The Zanatta family operates a 25 acre vineyard in the northwest corner of the valley. Their historic family home was built in 1903. The 120 acre farm was originally the site of a dairy farm when the Zanatta's purchased it in 1958. Since then 30 acres have been planted in vines, including Ortega, Cayuga, Auxerrois, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero, Muscat, Merlot, and Madeleine X Sylvaner. The remainder of the farm is in pasture, hay fields, forest and old fruit orchards.

Vinoteca, food and wine bar was established in May of 1996. This new venture for Vigneti Zanatta allows us to explore the fascinating art of pairing simple country cuisine the wines. Vinoteca was Ileana Zanatta's creation. She took the family's 1903 farm house, restored it as closely as possible to its original character, added her own unique style and created an eclectic place to dine or sip your afternoon away.

Winemaker Lorrete Zanatta
Philosophy:Our goal is to produce quality wines with exceptional regional character. We achieve this by using only Vancouver Island grapes and unrushed winemaking techniques which allows for complete expression of the wines.

We're taking a break from making Winchester Cellars wine this season
to concentrate on producing Victoria Gin - BC's only handcrafted premium gin.
