Dragonfly Hill is beautifully situated on the historic wagon trail on Southern Vancouver Island and is named for the many colourful dragonflies that thrive in the area. True to the “Garagiste Movement”, Dragonfly Hill passionately creates fine limited production wines with an intimate, local mindset. Our garagé winery will accommodate small tasting groups.
Over a hundred years ago, this exceptionally fertile land was home to flourishing apple orchards and gently rolling strawberry fields. Today, Dragonfly Hill taps into regional wine making expertise and employs sustainable farming methods. Our seventeen year-old vineyard has become a prime grower of exciting new varietals to the island including Labelle, a hybrid Blattner Cross. Also grown are Ortega, Pinot Auxerrois and Schoenburger, a wonderfully tasty grape that is winding its way into local gardens. Herbicide and pecticide free, we believe that cultivating exceptional wine is much more than an exacting science. It is a time honored and evolving art.
Local dragonfly lore depicts the circling dragonflies as messengers from our ancestors. Inside the dragonfly’s circle is the past, outside the circle is the future and the edge of the circle represents the present moment.
