The vineyard at Cherry Point was established in 1990 when the founders purchased 34 acres on a former mink ranch. The Cowichan’s long, Mediterranean like growing season and mild maritime winters make it the most important agricultural area on Vancouver Island. Today the 24 acre vineyard is one of the largest on Vancouver Island and consists of grapevines that flourish in Cherry Point’s microclimate. Ten main varieties and eight limited varieties are planted including Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Zweigelt, Epicure and Cabernet Libre, Pinot Noir, Agria, Ortega, Seigerrebe and Castel. In addition to the vineyard, tasting room and retail area, the Bistro and beautiful landscaped grounds are available to accommodate group functions. The Bistro operates seasonally for casual lunches, business meetings, and other social functions, accommodating up to 90 people. This is a well-established business & turnkey opportunity.
