“The owners are lovely, the wines are delicious! we love visiting!“
“If you are looking for some boujie winery vibes, this ain’t it. What this place offer is old school, authentic wine made with passion and years of experience. We loved our experience here and the wines the we bought. Best tasting wines in the Valley.“
“Simply the best winery on the Island!
Julie and Zac are exceptional in all aspects of the vineyard, from the obvious careful tending of the grapes right through to the informative and fun tastings of the finished products. They always take time to treat you like old friends and ensure you leave the welcoming Tasting Room happy….And with a smart Alderlea bag filled with your favourites (mine being the Pinot Noir and the Clarinet!)
Thank you Zac and Julie!🤩 🍇 🍷“
“We visited the Winery in June 2025 on our way to Sooke. The 4 sampler wines were very good; howeve, the one that really stood our was the Deep Cove Malbec Red Wine 2021. It was Excelent and tasted like "this goes with steak!" So much so, that we purchased a bottle and enjoyed it last night with our steak. I only wish we could get Deep Cove wines here in Ontario.“
“Fantastic people, fantastic wines. Everything about Emandare is about letting the land and the grapes do their thing. The Pinot Noir is positively dynamic (but sells out every year). Visit the tasting room and you’ll immediately understand why wines from this valley are making waves… they are so good!“
“Tried 3 different bottles of bubbly from this wonderful hidden gem of a winery and have been absolutely delighted. The bubbles are soft and refined and the wines balanced, crisp and reminiscent of great champagne. I’m going to make this my go-to for bubbly from now on.“
“Beautiful scenery, great customer service by the young ladies. Knowledgeable and friendly. Our tour arrived late, no rushing us wanted us to enjoy our time there. Sabered a bottle of bubble. Wine was good. Will visit and try the food, next time.“
“The winery is lovely, but I would have to say the service by Brooklyn was top notch! What an amazing experience... she was able to go into quite a bit of detail, and answered many odd questions I had. Between the cement vs. Ceramic. Eco-friendly and sustainability, she was so well versed and helpful. The wines and overall experience is worth the trip“
“Amazing experience at Great Fermentations. Their Winexpert Eclipse Barolo was truly one of the very best kit wines I have ever made or ever tasted for that matter. I will not only order another Eclipse Barolo wine kit, but I am very motivated to try the rest of the Eclipse line. Typically, it takes a long time to age Barolo wine, the pleasant and knowledgeable staff at Great Fermentations explained how Eclipse kits have a special secret process that makes it possible to have a delicious drinkable wine in a much shorter period of time. Looking forward to my next batch!“
“Great tastings. Fun with friends“
