Loved this winery! This is a true family winery nestled in the Cowichan Valley. Mark (winemaker) and Linda (President) and their daughters Robin and Katherine bring commitment and delight to winemaking resulting in amazing products. My daughter and I tasted five beautiful wines while Linda provided details and history while we sipped. She shared family stories and even unveiled a fun contest where we could vote between winemaker father and daughter's Pinot Gris. We had a wonderful visit and felt safe with all Covid protocols fully observed. Thank you!

We were fortunate to have visited here, when the birds were at the fall/ winter peak. The amount of bald eagles were absolutely breathe taking.

Reviewed By Hexthorpe - Cowichan Bay, Canada
Saturday evening my wife and I went to the Cow Bay Cafe for “Date Night” I had the three course special with wine pairing which I thought at $48.00 great value. I chose the clam chowder, seafood fettuccini and the creme brûlée. Each of of my courses were excellent. My wife had a starter of scallops and pork belly. Her main was the starter sized roasted garlic caesar salad with grilled chicken. She said the scallops and pork belly were the best she has ever had. Her starter size caesar salad and chicken was a very generous portion and also excellent. Julia our server was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant has good social distancing. We will certainly be returning there. Another great restaurant we are so lucky to have in Cowichan Bay.
