Really nice selection of wines! Got the Butter Chardonnay…read morerecommended by the staff- very rich, buttery and full just how I like it. $33 The Paul AMAW Viognier was really interesting- medium bodies, smooth and a tad fruity with nectarine notes Liberty School CabSav was also on point. Very smooth, not super tannic (personally I'm not a fan of very tannic wines so this was ), and a hint of sweetness balancing out the full body of the wine. This one was also recommended by the staff - who seem to be very knowledgeable about the products they carry

2 words: Craft Beer…read more I've never seen a place like it. They put the LCBO to SHAME! There was a full wall dedicated to craft beer. It had every type of beer you could imagine. None of it was in the sissy cans, bottles or tallboys we have, these were ALL in 650ml or so bottles. Mmmmmmmm. They even have a loyalty club to get discounts on booze. All of the staff were friendly. They also had a sample table out with local cider.

Great wine, and great people! If you're looking to make your own beer or wine in the Comox Valley I…read morehighly recommend you visit Lyle at the Wine Cottage.

A free mead tasting conducted by the meadery's owner is the best way to get introduced to this beverage. At Middle Mountain they create the best mead I've ever had. Some is mixed with green tea, others with cranberries. Even if you don't like mead, you'll love the view and experience. They also have a fantastic blackberry wine. It's like Port but not as sweet and thick. I am a fan of dry rose so I'm also into really dry, flavorful mead.If you're ever on Hornby, be sure to visit this place.

The only thing it's missing is a dancing Satyr playing the flute! It is a whimsical and magical…read moreplace that should be on the top of your list of places to visit on your first (or every) trip to Hornby. The scenery alone makes it worth the trip... especially if you're not into mead. The tastings are generous and the staff is friendly; there is no "tourist hostility" here. Sit down, close your eyes, and breathe in the scent of lavender and clean forest air. Enjoy a glass of the Magic Mead (it's the best, trust me), and slow down for a moment... which is really impossible NOT to do when you're up there. The only disappointment you'll experience here is when it's time to leave.

Being on the farm was a homey feeling and they also offer food. This place would be ideal for taking friends from out of town. The wine tastings are sure to inspire a few purchases. The winery itself is a beautiful design. The front reminds me of a fairy tale with a large round door. The scenery is worth a visit. The tasting staff are friendly and warm and the wines sweet and cool. If you enjoy berry wines or wine in general try Coastal Black out. They also have annual functions if you look on the webpage. It is a family run local business so it is a great way to support local.

I owe it to the staff at Nightingale introducing this distillery to me. I never would have heard…read moreof them. When the opportunity to see this ditillery came up because I would be In Campbell River, this was a no brainer. I knew what I wanted, so I came away with three single malts. Smoke Point, which is an Islay style but smoked with driftwood, Classic Single Malt, and 10 Year Old Estate Whiskey. The gentleman helping me out was very friendly. They are known as a field-to-flask or grain-to-glass distillery. They grow their own grains to make the product and is disilled on site. All of the whiskies are overproof, with some more so than others. Enjoy responsibly.
