Echo Valley Vineyards is nestled in the evergreen forests of the Cowichan Valley. With wine making we follow the traditions of the countries of origin for each particular grape variety. Come and taste award winning wines, our Chardonnay, a Beaujolais Blanc style white wine, fruity and without a taste of oak; or the noble Gamay Noir, a true Beaujolais Rouge style quality wine. Also our Alsace and German style wines, and don’t forget to sip on our party runner, the low-priced red Nouveau Gamay, an exquisite BeaujoIais Nouveau style wine, crisp and fruity as no other red wine.

We produce fine wine in small batches, many barrel-aged in French oak. We believe in natural methods in the whole farm, no herbicides or pesticides in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the winery. Visitors are always welcome to join us, taste our wine and share our forest, salmon stream and sunlit vineyard views. Picnic licensed: your food, our wine.

Salt Spring Vineyards wines are completely handcrafted by Salt Spring residents, from pruning of the vines, selecting the choicest grapes, winemaking, to applying the labels on the bottles. We are convinced that small-scale production, with human nurturing of the wine at each step of the winemaking process, produces a most inspired result. We hope you agree. Our estate wines tend to be dry and crisp, and we are honoured to pair them with Salt Spring and Moonstruck Cheeses, both produced on Salt Spring Island. We are always open Saturdays from noon to five, with daily hours May 1 to September 20. Check our website at www.saltspringvineyards.com for additional hours or call (250) 653-9463. Located at the corner of the 1700 block of Fulford Ganges Road.
