Wine Shop

Prices are in Canadian dollars and are subject to taxes (GST 5% and PST 10%) and the bottle-recycling fee. There is generally a 10% discount on the purchase of full cases, and mix and match cases are no problem, unless the item is already discounted.

With your case orders, you can also be registered as a Case Club member – click here to see all the benefits.

Local deliveries, within 20 km of the winery, are free of charge for case-lots (12 bottles+) and can usually be delivered within a few days of the order.

Shipping of case-lots beyond 20 km from the winery is not included in the price, but can be arranged by contacting us. Example wine case shipping prices can be found below.

Unfortunately, due to our licence restrictions, we cannot ship to post office boxes or anywhere outside of Canada.

We do not normally ship items other than cases of wine but if you are interested in having something like wine glasses shipped to you, please contact us to discuss shipping details.

Shipping Wine...

Shipping cases for our wines are made of environmentally friendly 100% recycled paper, are double walled, and help ensure that your wine arrives at its destination intact. The cost of a shipping case is $9, and there is an additional fee of $5 for handling. Once your order has been received, you will be contacted, for approval of all charges, before shipping occurs. Generally, shipping costs are reduced when multiple cases are shipped -- so get together with a friend and order more!

Below are estimated shipping costs from Courtenay to various locations. We would love to be able to ship Beaufort wines to all Canadian provinces, but there are some cross-border barriers (everyone wants their tax) which prevent direct sales to out-of-province customers. You can, however, buy your wines here, and take them back with you in your vehicle, or as checked luggage on the plane (in one of our shipping cases), or get a friend in BC to send you a gift.

APPROXIMATE SHIPPING COSTS (per case, as of 1-May-2012)
Vancouver $20
Toronto $40

To be sure you don’t miss out on new releases, join our Case Club (click here to find out more) which enables you to pre-order and reserve cases of future wine releases.

As a beaufort Case Club Member, you will be invited to an exclusive "pre-public" release tasting event, at which time you can decide if you are interested in completing the purchase.
