If you like wine, don’t go here. Their wines are terrible. Paid $40 for 2 flights & didn’t even finish any of the wines as they were so bad. Gimmicky & over priced.
And seeing as 40 Knots have flagged this an ‘not legitimate’ as they clearly cannot handle an honest review, I am adding a photo of proof that we went to the winery & didn’t finish our flights as the wine is vile.

This is a quality destination, informative, great service and amazing wines, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and we had a great time, would highly recommend.

Great to stop by to support a local winerie. Their wine tasting was overpriced for the quantity poured. Nevertheless, it was good to talk and try to taste their winemaking decisions. Certainly, what they did with the premises - despite prices, quantity and quality - makes it a good experience.

Beautiful surroundings and an impressive venue. We popped in for a couple flights of wine. They have a good setup which allows you to either order pre-determined red/white flights and also make your own custom flight from their wide selection.
If I had one complaint, the white wines we were served in our flight were not chilled at all. It was a very hot day, so it was particularly noticeable. But other than that we had a good experience here.

The wine making tour at 40 Knots was amazing. The vintner was super passionate and interesting. Not the mention the wine is great! We are not big white wine fans but we enjoyed everything we tasted and enjoyed a few bottles later! Hugh lit recommend if you are in the area.

We were feeling a little defeated trying to find the right wedding venue until we found 40 Knots Winery! From the get go we loved their terraced floor-to-ceiling glass building that overlooked the vineyard, stunning! The customer service that was provided to us throughout the planning process was second to none. We used their day of coordinator service and our coordinator(s) took the time with us to truly understand the vision for our special day and they made sure it was executed flawlessly on the day of our wedding. Before our BIG day we had faith in them to get the job done right. On the day of our reception the staff went out of their way to make sure that we (the bride and groom) were well looked after. They catered to our needs (without us asking them to) and made sure we had a drink in our hand and food to eat! They executed the coordination seamlessly making sure every detail was accounted for. They were able to discretely make sure everything got done. They did a good job ironing out small fires the day of our wedding without concerning us, so that we could just be in the moment. We would highly recommend 40 Knots Winery to anyone considering using them as their wedding venue.

Thank you so much to Brenda who was a fantastic host to us on behalf of Tourism Comox. This winery is beyond beautiful, but what made it so special for us was the hospitality. Every person who worked here was extremely kind. This vineyard is very 2SLGBTQ+ friendly!!

Such a gorgeous setting for an art class! And the Snowbirds gave us a spectacular show over the vineyards! The rose was the perfect pairing for beading! Will be back!
Title: A Source of Comfort and Beauty Review:I recently had the honor of hosting my late wife's celebration of life at 40 Knots Winery, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassion and empathy shown by the owners Brenda and Layne and staff during such a difficult time. The owners of 40 Knots Winery went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of. From our first meeting, their genuine empathy and understanding were evident. They listened attentively, offering guidance and support throughout the planning process. Their kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs made the entire experience much more manageable. The staff at 40 Knots Winery also deserves recognition for their professionalism and compassion. They handled every aspect of the event with sensitivity, making sure all attendees felt welcome and comfortable. Their warm and friendly demeanor provided a sense of solace during a challenging time. As for the venue itself, it truly is a picturesque and serene location. Nestled in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island BC. 40 Knots Winery offers stunning views, impeccable landscapes, and a peaceful ambiance. The serene atmosphere added to the overall sense of tranquility and reflection during the event. It was the perfect setting to honor and celebrate my wife's life. I am deeply grateful to the owners, staff, and the entire team at 40 Knots Winery for creating such a memorable experience. Their immense compassion and attention to detail turned a challenging occasion into a beautiful and meaningful tribute. I wholeheartedly recommend 40 Knots Winery to anyone seeking a compassionate and picturesque venue for any special event. They have undoubtedly exceeded my expectations in every way possible.Thomas GirardinAnd their Wine is amazing!

We've done this often . It's been a highlight of our weekend when people visit.Our last visit was in October. We screwed up the reservation and showed up unannounced.Didn't matter. They found a corner for us and made it work. The orientation combined with the wine and snacks was amazing.We ended up with Lane trying a few wines not on the plan. Also walked out with some pate Lane had been telling us about!Don't miss it. In fact we're back Saturday with a few friends.
