It was a very hot day when I visited, so we were lucky to be able to sit out back on the patio seating with wonderful views of the water out in the distance looking out over the Orchards. Our waitress was very nice as well as knowledgeable about all the types of cider. I enjoyed the cherry one very much. I opted to go with the traditional 'birds and bees cider', which was a very refreshing apple cider with pear which was so easy to drink and just perfect on the hot day. The cidery has lovely grounds you could walk about and has a well stocked cidery store inside the barn. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere here and hope to visit again. For lunch, we had the flatbread, and my hubby had a bowl of the seafood chowder which he loved. Perfect plate to share.

The views from the deck overlooking the vineyards make it an ideal place to linger over a glass (or two)! A great addition to a day spent touring the Butchart and the Butterfly Gardens :)

It was beautiful and they were friendly. Wide open space, a gorgeous seating area with a fireplace in one section.

I noted this tasting room was close and could satisfy the cravings of both the cider loving husbands and their wino wives, so off we headed. It's a small little tasting room with a bar and some outside seating. We walked in on Saturday around 3 and there was noone in the tasting room or at the bar. We waited about 15 minutes before two people came in from the side door and were rather unfriendly in asking us what we wanted. We were a bit put off but already there so we tried a cider and wine tasting. Our cider loving husbands were fans of the raspberry cider but neither of us cared for any of the red wine we sampled. The pourer was saying she takes them home as cooking wine, but a wine that's only good for cooking with wasn't exactly what we were looking for. The tastings were reasonably priced and apparently the raspberry cider was memorable, but other than that it was a bit average overall.

They told us that visits to Sailor Vineyard are usually by appointment only, but they would give a quick call and let them know we were coming. The entrance is a little hard to find, and initially, we turned onto the vineyard road and had to backtrack to a little sign with just the house number, and that is where you park. It's in front of their house, and Kit came out and greeted us, introduced us to his adorable dogs after being sure we weren't opposed, and then guided us on a tour of their little family owned vineyard. We enjoyed learning about their unique grapes and their personal histories. They don't do conventional tastings, but instead, you bought a bottle that came with 4 engraved Sailor Vineyards wine glasses (to take home), and he pours for you while you enjoy the lovely day. We took home a bottle of their reserve wine and was disappointed we wouldn't be able to return for their big concert they are putting on at the end of three summer (Aug 10, 2024) with an Italian band. It's definitely a neat spot to stop if you're in the area, but be sure to call ahead.
