Wine Shop

 At Venturi-Schulze Vineyards, we don’t sell anything we didn’t grow, produce & bottle ourselves in our Cobble Hill vineyard. Why? Because we can’t get perfection naturally any other way!

When visitors come to the emerald isles scattered in the blue waters of the southern Straight of Georgia, they soon forget the pull of their hurried lives and start living the relaxed, peaceful Gulf Islands existence. Our desire is that you experience this pleasure and that if you must leave, you will return as a friend.

Seasonally inspired, culturally diverse, housemade desserts. Thistles Café is also available for private luncheons and dinner parties for groups of 8 or more. We create menus that pair with Glenterra wines featuring fresh ingredients and, of course, great desserts. Or pick up catering for your own getherings.

Starling Lane is a partnership of three families founded on the belief that quality wines begin with a commitment to produce high quality grapes in our local vineyards on the Saanich Peninsula near Victoria. We spend much of the year nurturing our vines and then make only small lots of fine wine, literally handcrafting each and every bottle.

Delicious fruit wines made with Island ripened blackberries as well as mainland berries. All available wines are ready for your tasting.

Zanatta Winery and Vinoteca Restaurant in the Cowichan Valley are part of a 120 acre farm. With 30 acres in vines, the remainder of the farm is in pasture, hay fields, forest and old fruit orchards. Using only the fruit from our own Glenora vineyards we are able to produce wines that truly reflect the character of Vancouver Island and of our particular site.

Brilliant coastal wines, sparkling hospitality, B&B, eye candy surroundings. That’s our vision. Please come and see for yourself.

Great Wines! Great People! Great Experiences!

The vineyards at our winery enjoy a northern Mediterranean climate. Enjoy our balanced and unique wines with our delicious local cuisine in our bistro.

At Church & State Wines, we believe in hand-crafted quality, attention to detail and the highest standards we can achieve through teamwork, patience and dedication in the vineyards and in the entire wine-making process.
