What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cowichan Valley Regional District, Cowichan Valley Regional District, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Visit three Cowichan Valley wineries, have a tasting and maybe bring home a bottle of your fave!
Pick up from Cowichan is at 11:30am returning around 4:30pm.
Between wineries we'll cruise through the Cowichan Valley. Relax and take in the scenic farmland views.
After the vinos we'll stop for some free time in the quaint, seaside village of Cowichan Bay. This is a great opportunity to grab a bite and explore the shops before heading back to your accommodation.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Blue Grouse Estate Winery and Vineyard, 2182 Lakeside Rd, Duncan, British Columbia V9L 6M3 Canada
Family-owned, sustainably-farmed and award-winning, Blue Grouse Estate Winery welcomes you.
Our architect found inspiration for the design of our Tasting Room from the shape of our namesake, the Blue Grouse. The lovely curve of the grouse’s head and neck inspired the roofline and inside a curved ceiling reminds visitors of a grouse’s belly. The entrance highlights a beautiful shade of blue from the grouse’s tail feathers. In addition, the use of British Columbia and Vancouver Island products, including the beams and locally quarried stone, a closed loop water system and geothermal energy ensured we were accountable to Mother Nature.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Unsworth Vineyards Tasting Room, 1-2915 Cameron Taggart Rd, Mill Bay, British Columbia V0R 2P2 Canada
Having grown up watching Cowichan Valley’s homespun wine and food culture evolve, Tim’s ears perked up when he heard about a small vineyard and winery that was for sale in the fall of 2009. After 40+ years working in BC’s fishing industry, he was looking for a new challenge.
One look at the spectacular property and early 1900s farmhouse, and Tim knew he’d found something special. Colleen saw the vision too and they bought the farm, so to speak.
It was the heritage around Marjorie that inspired the name – Unsworth was her maiden name.
From expanding the operation and restoring the farmhouse, to building a brand around sustainably managed vineyard practices, the Turyk's and their team have built Unsworth one vine, one bottle, one blend at a time.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Rocky Creek Winery, 1854 Myhrest Rd, Cowichan Bay, British Columbia V0R 1N1 Canada
We have a true passion for making this a heritage winery and hopefully passing this on for generations. We went from "corporate suits" to "gumboots". Our vision is more in the lines of having our French Chateau or our Tuscan Villa here. Watch us on the journey. See below as we are looking for one more person to join our team.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Enrico Winery, 3280 Telegraph Rd, Mill Bay, British Columbia V0R 2P3 Canada
We craft quality, artisan wines which reveal the unique characteristic, taste and flavour of grapes grown in the Cowichan Valley.
Visit our popular Tasting Room, open daily and to the public.
You’ll get to sample five of our wines and you take away an Enrico Winery monogramed Puddifoot glass.
We make every effort to provide an unmatched experience of comfort and friendly customer service—coupled with the fun spirit of the Enrico Winery family!
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Averill Creek Vineyard, 6552 North Rd, Duncan, British Columbia V9L 6K9 Canada
Averill Creek's 150-ton capacity winery is built into the side of Mt. Prevost. With the help of designer Vasco Pavlov, we embraced the opportunity to create a new kind of winery. Guided by ingenuity and gravity, our state-of-the-art facility incorporates three buildings structured together, allowing wine to flow down from one stage to the next without the need for pumps. This gravity flow method allows for gentle handling of delicate varietals - helping to retain their subtle characteristics.
Our collection of hand-crafted fine wines, including perennial sell-out Pinot Grigio, Prosecco style wine Charme De L'ile, and limited edition reserve wines, have helped raise the profile of Vancouver Island terroir and winemaking in Canada and internationally.

Amazing trip! Awesome service, driver feels like an old friend. I recommend to any locals or people visiting the island. Not to mention an amazing way to see the cowichan valley and what it has to offer (winery wise)!

A brilliant day! We did the wine tour in Comox Valley, of 3 different wineries. The tour was very well organized, allowed such ease and fun to the day. Erika, our tour guide, and co-owner of the company, was super knowledgeable and a delight. The tour bus is super spacious, and modern with karaoke and sound system. So much fun! I would highly recommend TwoFiveO! A locally owned Island company! No need to worry about the organizing or logistics. Gather your tribe and go!amyzieth

Such a fun tour! Erika is amazing and so good at organizing everything. The bus is clean and spacious, and there’s even karaoke on the bus! All three wineries had great hosts and we got to try lots of different wine. Would definitely do it again and would also recommend it to anyone who hasn’t!!

I went on the wine tour in the comox valley and I highly recommend it! I haven’t had that much fun in months. If you want to get out of the house and learn about and taste some local wines with some friends then this is for you! Not only were the wineries a good time but the drive there was a blast, karaoke was set up, microphone and all. Let’s not forget Erika! A great host while creating a covid safe environment. .10 out of 10sebroberge

Me and my girlfriend visited Victoria from Edmonton Alberta. Erika and twofiveo tour co. made transportation accommodations, picking us up from our hotel and taking us to three great wineries, each of which had their own amazing experience! Along the way Erika told us about some cool places to check out in the area and even stopped at a couple lookout points for us along the way. Thanks to Erika, me and my girlfriend look forward to visiting British Columbia again and even more so, partaking in a new adventure with twofiveo tour co. !!
