60 acres of vineyards nestled between the Pacific ocean and a massive sandstone
and granite cliff face Saturna Island Vineyards is ideal for the cultivation of
classic European grape varietals. Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot
Noir and Merlot under vine. Our summers are warm and our winters are mild; the
ideal conditions for a long growing season. Excellent Bistro on location.
Saturna Island Vineyards, in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and the Islands Trust, is committed to ensuring that their enterprise does not threaten the survival of the Peregrine Falcons who nest in a cave atop the huge cliff that overlooks the vineyards. In an agreement with the Nature Conservancy of Canada they have dedicated a buffer zone between the vineyards and nesting site.
Saturna is the second largest and least populated Gulf Island.
