You can choose between a sparkling flight or red flight from their sister location in the Okanagan. I ordered the bison burger with fries, and while the burger was solid, the fries were standout--crispy, golden perfection! 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 :)

Walked in and place was dead (yet asked if we had reservations - which we did). We were sat at the bar and mentioned that we'd have about an hour ish time and was told, "no worries we hold an hour slot but tasting is only 45 minutes." That was a statement that felt like we'd be rushed and it's exactly what happened; we started off with bubbles, which one was completely flat (unsure how long the bottle was open or any of the others since it's off season) but within minutes the server was like "what would you try next"- and kept pouring our next taste within minutes without giving us time to even finish our initial glass of bubbles. You could tell the server did not want to be at work, yet tried to be friendly and when asked where the winery name came from, I got the response "I don't remember and if I don't, then the story much not be memorable"

Spoiler alert: there's an adorable private patio tucked in the back! We returned the next morning for their soft launch into brunch and it was delicious!

Can't wait to go back on my next visit to the island!

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.

My wife and I each had two ciders, a mead, and a wine. The ciders were the best of their offerings, and I particularly liked their berry and hot pepper blend. The mead was, frankly, quite disappointing. The wine was just okay. We did have a little sticker shock: the four tastings were served in shot glasses (at most half full) for $15 pp.

I'm not a huge wine drinker but all of the wines I tried here made me want to be. The only downside we experienced was that we came at a time where they did not have any food.

In the past, we were able to enjoy a wine tasting and a sit back and relax and have a glass of wine. It's a smaller establishment, but they offer seats outside as well. This past time I was disappointed to learn that I wasn't able to enjoy a glass of wine. The lady mentioned that you can taste only, but she was willing to get me a small sample. I purchased a bottle of wine to go. However after speaking with Cole and understanding his other adventure it all made the most sense to me on the reasoning. If you're on the island, definitely check these guys out. They have other wines offered at the Doe Bay Wine Co, but stick to local and try the Orcas Project. What they are doing with all of the different wine makers helping make different wines for the Orcas Project is brilliant and provides everyone an opportunity to shine.

The one-on-one experience walked me through something I knew nothing about and was slightly intimiated by.

I have bottled many batches at Black Tie Wines and have yet to be any less than delighted at the fine quality. Also, the actual bottling process is super funl! I will continue to drive from up island to go to them and can't recommend them enough. Don't pay retail prices anymore!

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.
