Sea Star Vineyard & Estate Winery

6621 Harbour Hills Dr
Pender Islands, British Columbia V0N 2M1
Phone: 250-629-6960
http://seastarvineyards.ca

Tour Sea Star’s terraced vineyard and winery on the rocky south flank of Mount Menzies on North Pender Island in the sparkling southern Gulf Islands of BC. In the lee of rainshadows projected by both the 12,000-foot Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island, Pender basks in a glorious mediterranean summer, with long stretches of dry, sunny weather.

On your wine tour you’ll see how, over an eight month season, with hand-tending and careful applications of water and nutrients, winegrapes ripen slowly and develop complex flavours. Hand-picked in late fall, grapes retain crisp aromatics while developing long, elegant flavours.
