Itinerary and highlights
The first stop on the tour is Enrico Winery! Guests will sip their way through 2–3 pours of delicious wine and be able to explore the gorgeous grounds on the vineyard. It's the perfect introduction to the region...intentional, scenic, and utterly delicious.
Next is Unsworth Vineyards, nestled among the rolling fields of the Cowichan Valley. Guests will settle into the picturesque outdoor patio and enjoy 2–3 pours of Unsworth's elegant, estate-grown wines. With sweeping views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's the kind of place you'll never forget.
The final stop is Merridale Cidery and Distillery, BC's oldest estate cidery, set on a charming orchard in the heart of Cobble Hill. Guests will enjoy 2–3 pours of Merridale's award-winning craft ciders, all made from apples grown right on the property. With delicious bites available on site for purchase, it's a satisfying and memorable way to cap off a perfect day in the Cowichan Valley.
