They were friendly and we lucked out having the Lorin lead our tasting. He is so knowledgeable and makes a delicious wine. The grape varietals are amazing. It's wine like you've never had before. I can't wait for them to be able to ship to the States. Most of our wine made it over the border. We only lost 3 in transit which is a bummer. Definitely will come back whenever we are in Victoria again. This is a definite must stop!!

The employee who was providing us with the tastings and describing for us each wine offered on the tasting was very nice. However, it appeared she didn't know the product all too well or forgot some key descriptions on some of the wine. I love that on their charcuterie board it offered local food specific to Cowichan Valley. The duck pate with port jelly along with the Cowichan cheese from a local farm down the road is a nice touch to complement the experience.

But regardless, I love exploring new wine regions and had a lovely visit to Church & State during my honeymoon. We made a reservation ahead of time and got to enjoy a tasting at the bar before grabbing a glass to enjoy on the patio with a cheese board. Service during the tasting was just okay. Our server out on the patio was much warmer and provided us more information about the wines and the property. While there, we saw a wedding party arrive as they host weddings here. No surprise as the grounds are absolutely gorgeous! The view from the patio is stunning and it felt like the perfect getaway!

They offer three 6oz glasses for $16, and a few little snacks and flavoured waters as well. I'm a huge Chardonnay person, but personally, theirs wasn't for me.

Sadly the new owners have literally shit the bed with this former gem…read more A friend and I did a tasting with the intention of buying a couple of cases of wine. The wines we sampled were insipid, tasteless and lacking in any varietal character. What a shame. I guess firing the winemaker who created the previously delicious wines was a pretty dumb thing to do.

I will admit to being a total wine noob, and not very interested in wines to be honest. But I left with two bottles and didn't come across a wine from them that I didn't enjoy! Lucky enough to have a tasting from the lovely couple who own this winery, they talk passionately about their wines and processes. I loved the Siegerrebe Gewurztraminer and the Marechal Foch. It's very cool how they only use their own grapes they have grown on the property! If you're in the area, stop by for sure :)

My girlfriend and I thought we would do a little wine tour today in the Cobble Hill area of…read moreVancouver Island. Our first stop was here at Glenterra Vineyards, just off of the highway on Cobble Hill Rd. We also noticed that there was a cafe attached to the vineyard, Thistles Cafe, and thought we might have a small snack while there. We have a small Service dog with us of which we forgot to put his vest on, but we carry all his credentials and paperwork if questioned, so we did not drive back to our place to grab his jacket. When we entered the winery at aprox. 2 PM I said hello to a women who was behind a counter, busy with something , and she told us that she would go tell someone ( she did give us a name but I have forgotten it) that we were here and tell him we would like to do a tasting. A few moments later a man came out of the back and we exchanged hellos and I asked, " So whatcha got?", just to get the ball rolling on some information on the wines available. He replied," Wine." With a deadpan delivery...and pushed one of the wine menus in front of me. And before I could even get another question out about the first wine on his list, he said, "You can read it in front of you...". Well, needless to say we left, and quite frankly will never return. I am guessing that the vineyard is so wildly successful that no further business is needed. We visited Silverside Winery just down the street next ,for a wonderful time with an informative and delicious tasting of which we bought a bottle. Review of which will be posted.
