Saturna Island Family Estate Winery is the premier winery in British Columbia's Gulf Islands. We are centered in a unique marine ecosystem which attracts whale watching, kayaking, and diving enthusiasts (click here for map and directions). Our micro climate is unique to the region, and is described as similar to the northern Mediterranean. We are committed to producing wines of superior style and quality: wines that exemplify our unique terroir and climate. Saturna Island Family Estate Winery boasts 60 acres of vineyards that are ideal for the cultivation of classic European grape varietals. We have Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, and Merlot under vine. Our summers are warm, and our winters are mild; the ideal conditions for a long growing season. There are four vineyards that comprise the 60 acre site. These are Rebecca, Robyn, Longfield, and Falconridge. Each one was established in different years, beginning in 1995 with the entire property completed in spring, 2000. Tours of the vineyards and winery are conducted by our friendly and knowledgeable staff on a regular basis, and by special arrangement for large groups. Visitors are welcome at the wine shop at any time during operating hours. Following the tours, complimentary wine tastings are held in our wine shop. Visitors may purchase wine directly from the wine shop together with an array of unique merchandise. Our bistro is open for lunch from May to October, and provides a wonderful atmosphere to soak in the charm of Saturna Island Family Estate Winery. more... See more text
