About
One of the oldest Estate Wineries in all of British Columbia, Blue Grouse is truly a magical place! Nestled on a 65 arce piece of unspoiled Cowichan Valley countryside, this winery and vineyard produces some of the most awarded wines on the entire island! From Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Ortega, Bacchus and the very rare Black Muscat, Blue Grouse produces new classic wines from old island vines.

A very pleasant break in the day with good wine and a light snack. You can bring your own food and try some fine wines.

Blue Grouse is a BEAUTIFUL winery sitting on glorious grounds. We liken it to our favorites in Napa. We did the sparkling tasting on the upstairs terrace, so we enjoyed the magnificent view. We enjoyed The Paula (sparkling) along with their Pinot Noir.

We were there on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, sat outside. The wine was excellent and the service was also really good, from the person who greeted us at the door to the woman who took our order. I'll definitely return!

We recently joined the Blue Grouse wine club and absolutely love their wines and visiting the winery for tastings and lunch. Today we’re enjoying a special sparkling wine tasting. So good and amazing service.

A visit to Blue Grouse is an opportunity to drink in a magnificent Valley setting, an architectural delight and taste delicious wines which showcase the Cowichan Valley's cool climate approach. We drank Rosé, an off-dry white, Bacchus and Ortega. The staff is attentive, well-trained and responsive to our needs as we picnicked outside beside spring time vines. This is a must-see winery in the Valley.

The only disappointment on our wine tour. Tasting pours were minuscule, minimal information on the three wines they had given us, all three tasting were poured at once with a very short description and no hand out to help explain all the wines that were available. The view and building was impressive but it was the only winery we visited that we did not make a purchase.

3rd Visit. It is a beautiful setting, very well organized and the information on the wines is well presented. Also enjoyed the additional information about bees by a very knowledgeable staff member. Recommend reservations as it is busy. Always take home a bottle of wine

We dropped in on our way to Victoria and we were able to book a 3 wine tasting each. My wife tried 3 whites and I tried 3 reds. All were delightful on the nose and palette. We liked all six. Our wine steward was Alexandra and she did a fine job explaining the various wines and the history of the winery.

The staff at Blue Grouse are very friendly and accommodating! They do a great job at making the tasting experience safe due to Covid by having the glasses all poured and tables made up nicely with information provided on the wines. The staff do a great commentary and provide an excellent tasting experience. We were pretty happy with the wines. Blue Grouse is a beautiful estate winery with lovely views of the vineyard and mountain vistas. I highly recommend Blue Grouse!
