With the Beaufort mountain range to the west; Georgia Strait to the east; and a sunny, gently-sloped southwesterly aspect, Beaufort surely boasts one of Vancouver Island’s most enviable vineyard positions. Winemaker Stephanie Clarke crafts the vintage in small batches for a unique expression of our Island’s cool coastal climate.
In September 2019, Beaufort became the first organically certified vineyard on Vancouver Island, and in 2022, we received full organic certification for the winery. We grow 11 different varieties across 18 acres on the estate; Ortega, Siegerrebe, Pinot Gris, Petite Milo, Gewürztraminer, Schönburger, Marechal Foch, Leon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Since 2020, 100% of our wines are made from organic, estate-grown grapes. A wholehearted commitment to sustainable and regenerative farming guides everything we do in the vineyard. Most vineyard tasks are completed by hand as we strive for vine balance, healthy soil, and optimal ripeness at harvest.
Our team in the vineyard, winery and tasting room is small, talented and passionate about our Island region. Give us a call, shoot us an email, or better still, come by the winery; we’d love to host you, and share our story over a glass of wine.
