Saturna Island Family Estate Winery

Saturna Island Family Estate Winery

Saturna Island Family Estate Winery is located in the beautiful Gulf Islands of British Columbia. The micro climate of the region has been compared to that of the northern Mediterranean because of the unique region where the island is located.  "We are committed to producing wines of superior style and quality: wines that exemplify our unique terroir and climate."

Saturna Island Family Estate Winery has a total of 60 acres of vineyards in which they have divided into four vineyards that are ideal for cultivating the classic European grape varietals;  Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. Saturna Island has  warm summers and mild winters on the island all which contribute to ideal conditions for a long growing season.

Saturna Island Family Estate Winery won Gold Medal for the 2006 Estate Pinot Noir and the Silver Medal for the 2006 Vintner's Select Chardonnay at the 2008 All Canadian Wine Championships.

Both Firefly locations will be having a complimentary tasting of Saturna Island Family Estate Winery on Wednesday February 24th from 3pm - 7pm.
