Blue Grouse Estate Winery

Stunning views from the winery, delicious wines and a pleasant tasting experience. Is there anything more to ask for? Make sure to try the locally made charcuterie as well.

We went to his house for a drink today and it was a great experience. The environment is more fashionable and the atmosphere is good.

We had an amazing time at the Blue grouse! The wine slushy was such an amazing summer drink and the patio was lovely too. Me and My friend had a problem with my car, and so many staff helped us (at the end my car got towed). Some of them even asked us for a ride, We truly appreciated them so much and definitely would like to come back when my car gets fixed haha!

Birthday fun! Was impressed by the beautiful building, property, views. Lovely! The chardonnay was my top pick though tbh haven't found any island wine that I love. That said - will go back! The overall experience was fabulous. Thank you.

Adorable spot! It’s gorgeous, the wine is great, especially the butter popcorn. Still need to try the orange wine that was out of stock…

Blue Grouse was beautiful and we enjoyed every second there. The wines we tasted were all lovely, the staff were pleasant, and the pate and olives were tasty and a good portion size. I feel this winery is very decently priced for value and absolutely recommend. However, we did book in advance a “Lunch for Two” which was to include charcuterie. Upon arrival and pulling up our reservation, we weren’t told that they were sold out of charcuterie boards/ingredients. We were presented our wine flight and told afterwards we can let them know if we need anything else or would like to order more. We figured maybe the food was coming but after finishing our flight about 20 minutes later we realized maybe not. So we instead ordered charcuterie and server said “I think we might be out, let me check for you. ” and came back to confirm that they were in fact sold out due to the long weekend busyness. Fine, we’re very understanding people, but just found it a bit odd that if you’re out why none of the three staff we spoke with and served us ever mentioned it before seating us despite it being what we reserved, or even contacted beforehand so that we could bring our own charcuterie to enjoy with wine. All of this just to make a small suggestion if I may: If you’re taking reservations perhaps reserve or set aside supply for said upcoming reservation seeing as reservations included a specific food as opposed to simply a spot or tasting.

In the end we happily ordered the only options left, the pate and olives as we came with intentions of eating, as well as a glass of Quill Q White and a slushie, and enjoyed it all very much, and left a bit more hungry than intended and got McNuggets, lol.

Despite this mishap, would still absolutely come again and recommend.

What a beautiful place! Love the upper deck lounge area. The charcuterie was excellent.
Highly recommended

Stopped in for a wine tasting. $10 for 5 tastings of a good portion and some very nice wines (we left with two bottles). Gorgeous location, worth the visit.

Stopped in for a visit and we had a great experience- the staff were so helpful and welcoming. The rose frizzante was great! The views were stunning, it’s a peaceful spot. Will be back next time I’m in the area!

A very nice location, lovely views, staff were very friendly and attentive. For hot summer days they also have wine slushys.

Great spot, high ceilings.
Beautiful tasting room with lots of tables, upstairs seating to, over looking the vineyard.
Indoor and outdoor seating.

Get a bottle and have a glass.
Take the remainder home.

It was a fun experience of wine tasting! A must experience if you are on your way to Nanaimo, BC from Victoria airport

My husband and I have been members of the Wine Club for several years now. The staff are informative, helpful, and completely delightful. The wines are wonderful - and deliver an abundance of flavours that sets them apart from any other winery on our island. We make a point of doing tastings every couple months, and if we are travelling up Island, we definitely will stop in. The charcuterie boards, or cheese and chocolate pairings available at tasting never disappoint. If you are looking for a great winery experience in an environment that boasts relaxation, architectural beauty, and stunning views - do yourself a favor and check it out.

I wish I had more stars to give this winery! I have frequented quite a few wineries, and this has to be one of my favorite experiences. We did the chocolate pairing, and the staff were all so wonderful, knowledgeable, and genuine. Every single wine we tasted was very drinkable for the palate, complimented the chocolate, and went down smoothly. We all left with a bottle of the Pinot Gris. Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality and experience. I will be a loyal customer forever.:)
Oh, and a special shoutout to the chicken pate we had with our charcuterie board, a must try.

Wine maker is from thunder Bay, it's not even Vancouver island wine at that point, I was attacked on the property by an employee.

A favorite place to enjoy an amazing patio or cozy fireplace while tasting the amazing wines and accompaniments. Staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable.

Blue Grouse is a nice winery to visit on the island. Friendly staff, great wine and a beautiful location.
