Glenterra Vineyard May 20 th 2000 marked the official opening of John Kelly and Ruth Luxton Winery. Glenterra Vineyard is located on Cobble hill road. Vistors are welcome a play area for children. Recently purchased by Janet Docherty Merridale is said to be BC first estate cidery. Albert Piggott is the cider master.
Plans are under way to make the farm more suited to visitors.
The farm is located near Mills Bay. The Zanatta family operates a 25 acre vinyard in the northwest corner of the valley. Their historic family home was built in 1903. We achieve this by using only Vancouver Island grapes and unrushed winemaking techniques which allows for complete expression of the wines. Johanne Tomio and Chris Pinnock planted their first vines in mid November.
