Visited on a sunny spring day and were the only ones on the deck. Barb was a wonderful host with a wealth of information. We bought over a case as the wine was good value.

Wayward Distillery

Wayward Distillery is a True Craft distillery located in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Balancing tradition with creativity, Wayward is the first distillery in Canada using honey as the base for all of its spirits. With this as a curious starting point, the only obvious direction to take is an unpredictable one. Our signature Unruly Vodka and Unruly Gin are beautiful, hand-crafted examples of what can happen when unruly people meet unruly bees. Couple this with our seasonally changing, ultra-small batch experimental Wayward Order Line and you will truly understand our need to break moulds and blaze trails. Welcome to our Wayward life. Welcome to Wayward Distillery.

A lovely place to visit, especially during the spring and summer when the weather is warm and sunny and fresh vegetables and fruits can be found in addition to local crafts, wines, and other artisanal items. Live music, hot food, and a pleasant, friendly atmosphere for all ages can all be found here at this Saturday market, right in the heart of downtown Duncan. Arguably the best farmer's market on Vancouver Island.

Wolf Brewing Company

Reviewed By brooklyn851 - Nanaimo, Canada

Sip and sliders it's a regular staple of ours but have to drive to the north end to satisfy the need. Thursday they are at Wolf Brewery. That burger went so well with the burgers. The staff actually invited us in even tho we were not going to have a drink. Well the wife twisted my arm. They have a great selection from ales to IPA's. Charming little place and extremely friendly. It is a little gem at the south end of town in Nanaimo. Give it a try.

Pacific Rim Distilling

Luke is a fourth generation distiller and has refined old family recipes for the modern palate. All spirits are fermented with our own wild yeast culture originating in Barkley Sound. We are a true hand crafted distillery using no automation with our 100% BC sourced ingredients. Come in and try a free sample of our exceptionally smooth spirits. If the sign is on the highway we are open.

Reviewed By fayerj1 - Duncan, Canada

Owner/operater is an easy-going conversationalist -- third generation, and a super nice person-- who is passionate about the products he currently offers ... Humpback Vodka, Lighthouse Gin and the most aeromatic, soothing Hand Sanitizer I've had the pleasure to use. And, it won't be drying out your hands! Ingredients are all locally cultivated. * Learned a few things with what goes on 'behind the scenes' at a distillary producing top-quality products.

Fun local brewery with a good selection of beers on tap. Kelp stout was a favourite as was the sour and lager. Start with a flight and get a good cross section
