I called first to ask permission to bring my dog, Casper. Yes we can bring dog there. I got an excellent service there, I selected the charcuterie and cheeses plate, I had a try of each wine. The personal were awesome. Gave water to Casper and they where available to took pictures off me self and my dog with the nice countryside.

Great wine and friendly service. I'll be back at at some point. A bit of the beaten path but definitely worth the visit! The views are amazing.

If you are a true wine connoisseur you'll appreciate the cowichan valley. However this family was the original stem that made the entire cowichan wine industry even possible.
Germans are known for beer.
Russians are known for vodka.
Italians are known for wine.
Zanatta IS authentic Italian. You might not be able to put your finger on it- but they are definately doing it right!

Oldest winery, established in the 1950's by an Italian immigrant.
Great atmosphere, original home with wrap around veranda overlooking the grape vines.

A lovely place to have a taste of some of the best wines in the Cowichan Valley. Excellent service and delicious wines especially the Damasco and the Tradizionale Brut

Stopped in on Saturday on a drive from Victoria to Tofino for a wine tasting and lunch. This is the oldest vineyard in the region, and as I'm sure there is some prestige in this, I was surprised that I didn't enjoy the wines.
A tasting is $5, and we received four wines to taste - lighter pours and quantities than the other wineries we visited in Cowichan. The sparkling Brut could have been a great sip - sadly, it had been sitting on the bench for too long and was warm.
The other white and two reds were nice, but nothing overly exciting.
We ate at the restaurant, Vineteca,, which I was told is a local chef who rents the space from the vineyard. A great idea, but poorly executed. A 50 minute wait, for sub-par pasta. You can read a full Google review of the restaurant at Vinoteca Restaurants Google Page.

Still and sparkling wines are all exceptional! Such a treat to have the wine maker doing the tasting. Sadly patio closed due to staffing shortage but 100% worth the trip for some sips!

Restaurant is closed but cheese charcuterie plates and veggies available. Great setup!
