Holy wine! I was blown away by how delicious and crisp these wines were. I came to Cherry Point…read morewith a group and we all came back with a bottle or two because they had so many good wines! It is no wonder they had so many award winning wines. This was the first winery we visiting in the Victoria area, and we all wished we could have stayed there all day to drink and enjoy their beautiful patio and dine as what we hear is a wonderful restaurant. The Colombian couple that owns the winery conducted our tasting and they were so wonderful, friendly and energetic! Writing this review makes me want to go back right now!

We tried 2 whites, 2 reds, and a dessert wine. Didn't care for the whites, the reds were good, the dessert wine was very good. Wasn't much to see as far as scenery or ambiance.

Dave knew quite a bit about the history of the area and was fun to talk to. The grounds were stunning, and we enjoyed all the sights and smells of lavender. Finally, the creativity of their wine flavors may confuse some folks, but they would be applauded in the craft brewery world for taking risks and trying something new.

Wonderful time tasting wine. Highly recommend. Met Michele Schulz, she shared a wealth of knowledge.read more

Garry was an amazing host. We dropped by hoping they might be open. We got lucky, the gate was open…read moreso we went in and had a great conversation and tasting. The "young" balsamic vinegar is amazing. we are enjoying a tiny spoonful after dinner most nights. The wine tasting was fantastic, too. Loved that Garry was a realist; funny and warm. I especially loved that he had to talk science as well as art. We bought the Brandenberg No 3. One of the best sweet wines I have ever experienced. We will definitely be back!

We had mostly the day's specials, but regular menu standouts included the prime rib burger and the crispy brie. The winery's regional offerings are, of course, available by the glass.

Drives me crazy when they think they serve quality and can charge for it when in fact it's lousy and has no taste, I get cheaper and high quality in Vancouver restaurants with Michelin stars, so please don't use cost of rent as an excuse .

Located about an hour from Victoria. We were on an excursion with a group of about 18 from our…read morecruise ship. Tried 3 whites, a Rose, 2 reds and a Port. Liked the Chardonnay and all of the reds. The property is very cool. We were outside on the patio overlooking a pond and the vineyards. Didn't try any food.

This place was so beautiful and the wine was beyond delicious…read more We visited in October so the air was crisp and the leaves on the property beautiful. Staff were lovely. They were friendly and we lucked out having the Lorin lead our tasting. He is so knowledgeable and makes a delicious wine. The grape varietals are amazing. It's wine like you've never had before. I can't wait for them to be able to ship to the States. Most of our wine made it over the border. We only lost 3 in transit which is a bummer. Definitely will come back whenever we are in Victoria again. This is a definite must stop!!

The vibe and atmosphere of the winery was stunning. With our tasting we got to enjoy the scenic…read moreviews of the winery with the valley spread out beyond the horizon. The employee who was providing us with the tastings and describing for us each wine offered on the tasting was very nice. However, it appeared she didn't know the product all too well or forgot some key descriptions on some of the wine. I love that on their charcuterie board it offered local food specific to Cowichan Valley. The duck pate with port jelly along with the Cowichan cheese from a local farm down the road is a nice touch to complement the experience.

The wine here was so good. We visited in October…read more We did a tasting while on a tour. We were the only people there since they just opened. Staff were lovely and very attentive. The grounds were beautiful. If we are ever back in Victoria would love to come back in the spring and sit outside. This is definitely a must stop. I wished they shipped to the States.

My girlfriend and I thought we would do a little wine tour today in the Cobble Hill area of…read moreVancouver Island. Our first stop was here at Glenterra Vineyards, just off of the highway on Cobble Hill Rd. We also noticed that there was a cafe attached to the vineyard, Thistles Cafe, and thought we might have a small snack while there. We have a small Service dog with us of which we forgot to put his vest on, but we carry all his credentials and paperwork if questioned, so we did not drive back to our place to grab his jacket. When we entered the winery at aprox. 2 PM I said hello to a women who was behind a counter, busy with something , and she told us that she would go tell someone ( she did give us a name but I have forgotten it) that we were here and tell him we would like to do a tasting. A few moments later a man came out of the back and we exchanged hellos and I asked, " So whatcha got?", just to get the ball rolling on some information on the wines available. He replied," Wine." With a deadpan delivery...and pushed one of the wine menus in front of me. And before I could even get another question out about the first wine on his list, he said, "You can read it in front of you...". Well, needless to say we left, and quite frankly will never return. I am guessing that the vineyard is so wildly successful that no further business is needed. We visited Silverside Winery just down the street next ,for a wonderful time with an informative and delicious tasting of which we bought a bottle. Review of which will be posted.

Ambiance was great - super warm and welcoming which was magnified by the host. Super lovely. Then the wait staff. Whoever is hiring/training is doing a great job! Not drinking right now but the cocktail menu was super tempting. Every menu item sounded great. We got some help on ordering from our servers and Tanya picked ones she had enjoyed before. We also sat right beside the pick up window so it was fun seeing food come out! The food was fantastic. See pictures for what we ordered. Not sure if I can remember the names of everything but it was a perfect combo!!

So straight up this place went and took us to places we hadn't been prior to eating at the Block…read more Overall a very enjoyable experience for sure, but you cannot pigeonhole this place, which is a very good thing! We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!
