Vineyard with a view.
With the Beaufort mountain range to the west, Georgia Strait to the east, a sunny, southwesterly aspect and 12 gently sloping vineyard acres, Beaufort surely boasts one of Vancouver Island’s most enviable vineyard positions.
Winemaker Freya Timmermans crafts the vintage in small batches for a unique expression of the Island’s cool coastal climate. Expect youthful, fruit-driven reds, and lively, aromatic whites. In September 2019, Beaufort became the first organically certified vineyard on Vancouver Island (PACS #16-799).
There are 10 different varieties grown on the estate; Ortega, Siegerrebe, Pinot Gris, Petite Milo, Gewurtztraminer, Schonburger, Marechal Foch, Leon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann and Pinot Noir.
The winery's tasting room is open seasonally. Please check Beaufort's website for up-to-date information.
