de Vine Wines & Spirits

Amazing winery! The wine was delicious, service was awesome, and the view was beautiful! My boyfriend and I were came here on our last visit of Victoria and it was the best way to top off our vacation! Highly recommend coming here!

We recently spent a nice afternoon on their patio. Very pleasant. My only complaint was that we paid $5 to sample 3 of their spirits and the amount of each was SO tiny that you couldn't even get a sense of the flavour. A bit of a rip-off for $5. Next time I will just drink their wine.

We were thoroughly impressed!!! Upon arriving at the vineyard we noticed the gorgeous view that the parking lot and their seated area looks over. My husband was having an allergic reaction to whatever was in the air at the vineyard and he couldn’t stop sneezing! When we entered their tasting room, we were enthusiastically greeted by Krista whom offered my husband a Reactine allergy pill - for this, we were very very grateful. Krista warmly told us about the snacks they serve (some cheese, root chips, etc) and the $5 tastings they offered - wine tasting that consisted of a red, a white and a vermouth (highly recommend the vermouth!); gin tasting that consisted of a gin made from wine grapes (so different and delicious, highly recommend this too), traditional botanical gin, and a bourbon barrel aged gin; and a rum tasting. Please note that the spirits tasting is tiny BUT we got a taste of them with the amount given so no complaints here! We ended up doing all three tastings and highly recommend this in order to try everything they make onsite. Yes, this is both a vineyard AND a spirits distillery - how cool is that?!! We loved so many of their offerings and ended up buying a bottle of their light red Foch wine, their delicious easy drinking Vermouth, and their unique gin made from wine grapes. We opened our Foch wine and enjoyed some in their vineyard overlooking Mount Vaker while sitting amongst their fruit trees - it was amazing. There are a few other wineries and breweries nearby that we didn’t get a chance to visit (such as Victoria Distillers for their Empress Gin, Category 12 Brewing for their science perfected beers, Sea Cider if cider is your thing, etc) but if we were to do this again we would make a tour out of the area since there’s so many amazing local productions. If you need to grab a bite, we ended up visiting the local Mary’s Bleue Moon Cafe and were blown away by the portions and delicious options; seems like a lot of locals and regulars eat here so that was great to see. We’ve been to Victoria many times but this is the first time we really tried visiting the vineyards and we are definitely coming back in the future to visit the ones we missed!

I hesitate to write anything about this vineyard because I want to selfishly keep it a secret. Every time I've been, the lovely staff has welcomed me and our guests with delicious wines and spirits as well as plenty of information on their creations. Bring some friends and swing by Red Barn beforehand to grab some snacks and make a picnic out of it. The view is to die for.

We're did 3 different flight tastings between 4 of us which was an educational experience, very knowledgeable and fun! Beautiful views!
