But what I can say is that the owners are very helpful and nice. The room is dark wood and has a nice, calm feel. The wine decanters are also very unique. A large selection of reds, whites, dessert wines and champagnes are also in abundance. For the holidays they have midweek and weekend tastings. I especially like the dinner themed ones where they pair wines and meals and help you select a match.

Christine did a great job of combining local history with culinary info.

The wine sabering demo was a highlight and Christine did some trivia and games that kept us all engaged. Would definitely recommend!

I have been in the design and real estate business for over 30 years designing beautiful wine rooms and cellars and with the client appreciation gifting program Realtors, Developers, Corporate business owners etc can create custom labels for the wine and gift it to their clients.

It's been a few years since I last visited this lovely winery/restaurant, and while I had a great…read moreexperience back then, this visit was even better. It's a bit of a hike from downtown, but there is street parking, and we opted to take public transportation. Once you arrive, it's absolutely worth the trip. The historic building, interior design, and overall vibe are excellent. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a great meal and drinks, have a conversation, or simply relax and hang out for a while. They also have vegan options, which always makes me happy! From pizza to dessert, there's something for pretty much every diet. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. They also offer happy hour specials on their house wines--yay! There are so many delicious local wines to choose from. Service is usually stellar, and this visit was no exception. Haze was incredible--friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely kind--making an already great experience even better. I love this off-the-beaten-path winery and will definitely make a point of visiting every time we're in Vancouver. Definitely worth the trip!

At the end of October when I went, they're only open Friday and Saturday afternoons. Our experience there was super chill. We rang the door and someone let us in. I forgot his name, but he was one of the brothers behind the operation. He then introduced us to their liquors and we picked which ones we wanted to try. We tried a variety of liquors, including their vodka, ginger and honey, coffee, scotch, apple brandy, and kartoffelschnaps. Our favorite was the vodka, as it's one of the smoothest vodka's I've ever tried. The coffee liquor was also very good if you're a coffee drinker, but I personally am not a huge fan of the coffee taste. We bought a bottle of the vodka, scotch, and ginger and honey liquor away with us. Prices were reasonable. For example, a 750 ml bottle of vodka was $35. You can also take a couple steps into their distillery space. We went in to take a look and also was given a high level introduction to their distilling process.

They've got the international awards to prove it. 2010 Double Gold and Spirit of the Year in the recent World Spirit Awards. The distillery tour is well worth the $6 as you get a personal view of where all the potato magic happens. Tyler and Lorien are gracious hosts and are full of boozy knowledge. Oh, and of course there's a healthy sized tasting post-tour at the bar with your very own Schramm's glass. The word on the Pemberton street is that Tyler is concocting a small batch of Organic Single Malt Whisky this summer. But unfortunately, we will have to wait a few more years to sample this barrel of local gold. Damn you Oak Casks!

Dylan was friendly and super-knowledgeable, offering a short tour and answering numerous geeky wine questions. Although sold out of white wines, the reds were uniformly good - excellent. The Reserve reds were particularly fine, with grapes coming from either the Okanagan BC or Washington State, using a mix of new and second/third use French oak. Probably one of the better Petit Verdot we've experienced. An overall superb visit!! Most sales come from the tasting room, and small production wines sell out quickly - so visit frequently and get on their mailing list!

Their happy hour runs from 2-5pm and includes cocktails, glasses of wine and wine flights. We indulged in a self-selected wine tasting (five, 2 ounce pours) and were so impressed that we ended up leaving with 3 bottles (2022 Rose, Stoneboat "Piano" brut, and Rosé Frizzante 2022). Colby, our connoisseur (and new BFF), was very knowledgeable and accommodating in answering our questions and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back for more wine!

The wines themselves are not bad, but there wasn't any info given for the majority of them and minimal info or tasting notes for the one we were given info for. Tasting is free so a star for that. Prices were a bit all over the place but decent. Would be good for them to have a short list with the prices or wines available to accompany the tasting.
