Honestly some of the most amazing service and experience that I’ve ever experienced. The perfect end to a fun weekend with friends. Kevin was an amazing host and officiant of the wine and atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back again

Perfectly laid back, friendly atmosphere with flavorful small plates and delicious red blends! We love that they're dog friendly and kid friendly too. The employees recognize us now and always make great recommendations depending on our preferences or mood. Everyone is genuinely happy, and it's been the same employees working there since we started going almost 2 years ago. Thank you Bethany, Hayden, Kevin, Wynn, and Brock for making us feel so welcome!

Theo loves the service and mom loves the wine! Best service ever!

The food was great here but I have to say, my husband and I just don’t care for their wines. We have been wine folks for over 14 years as a compromise to have a little adult time (I’m a beer and cider girl and the hubs is a whiskey and tequila guy.) Unfortunately we felt the wine flight we had tasted more like chemicals than a fine wine. The charcuterie board was delicious though and the staff were friendly.

I ordered a wine tasting flight which was great, 5 stars!
However, poor service kinda ruined my experience. My husband and I didn't want to order food as we already had dinner and the server got visibly upset at that. The first wine was poured at the right amount, the second - I got less, third -less and less, and by the time we got to the last wine there was barely anything in my glass. At some point the server just emptied a bottle in my glass, without actually checking if it was an appropriate amount. As such, we felt rushed and pretty much gulped the last glass so I could pay the check and leave.

The wines were all very good and the backstory of the maker is interesting. We got the sausage fennel flatbread which was pretty good, but a bit in the sweet side because of the onion jam. It was well made, just not my cup of tea. They had live music which was a nice surprise. Will be back to try more wine and snacks!

Hayden was amazing in walking us through the wine tasting. He was quick, knowledgeable, and very sweet. I am not a huge wine drinker, but he walked me through all of it. Very nice spot on the waterfront.

The unique big reds were just the change we needed here in Pinot Noir country.The service was just right. They knew exactly when to check in on us, they were available to talk wine, talk details, but were also very observant of letting us have a conversation without interrupting.

We love coming in to Brian Carter on the Vancouver waterfront for so many reasons. We initially stumbled upon this quaint location after not receiving service from a neighboring winery one sunny afternoon. The minute we walked in we were welcomed with a smile and given the attention as if we were old friends then treated to an amazing flight of wine. We left that afternoon as members and continue to come back regularly. Every time we come in the door we are still welcomed with that smile from Wynn. We have made many wonderful connections through our membership and love sharing this wine with friends and family.
