7 Best Wineries near Cowichan Bay

“Great winery! We had Barb to guide us through the tasting today and it was such a nice experience. She knew everything and we felt she was very invested in the story of the wine which I appreciate! Out of all the wineries we went to, we ended up buying the most here.Blackberry wine was delicious ☺️ Thanks!“

“I cannot give this a stronger 5.0/5.0. For the price, these are some of the best wines in the world. Regardless of price, they're still incredible, they could charge double or triple and get no complaints. You need to try these wines, I'm so glad I found them.“

“Fantastic location, great wine and great service. All in all I would highly recommend a visit. Staff were very friendly and informative. We did a small winery tour and this was definitely the highlight of our day. Easy to get to, not far off the highway and good on-site parking.“

“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!“

“If you are looking for a cute little vineyard with delicious wine and fantastic staff- check this place out! Even amidst a busy August full of wine-fest customers, the owner was kind enough to fit in for a full tasting. The lady working that day was very knowledgeable about the vineyard, and wine in general too; a delight to chat with! Was pleasantly surprised by their balsamic offerings too. We will be back!“

“Attended the winery yesterday for a bachelorette. It was the highlight of the whole day. Enrico, his staff, wine and the environment hit every note of amazing. Everyone of all ages will find something truly magical about this place! Highly recommend!“

“What a magical place to savour a delicious glass of wine! As a couple of Winnipeggers, we were blown away by the beauty of the rolling hills and view of the ocean. If you're short on time, the self-guided experience is an excellent way to taste the delicious offerings and get a feel for the bottle you'll want to go home with. The vermouth was my favourite!“
