Harvest 2021 is complete. All told, we picked ten varieties over four weeks, which made for quite a condensed harvest. A HOT summer, followed by a wet September, kept us nimble. Harvest windows were pretty tight, and we are grateful for our picking teams who showed up smiling, often at very short notice. THANK YOU! 👏👊💚 … 📹: Foch harvest vignette by Liam and Alex of @lobbystudio … #harvest2021 #bcwine #vancouverislandwine #coolclimate #marechalfoch #pacscertified #organic #comoxvalleywine #beaufortwinery #beaufortwines

You know we have the hots for our vineyard and grape varieties, but our new apple orchard (yes—the one that we planted in the spring!) is already bearing fruit. 7 different varieties (a good mix of cider and eating apples) ripen at various times during the fall. So far we’ve pulled in Yarlington Mill, Miki Life, Dabinett, and Gravenstein; with Porter’s Perfection, Golden Russet and Aurora Golden Gala yet to go. 🍎🍏 … Here’s a roly poly apple jolly highlighting the varieties. Golden Russets are beautiful don’t you think? 😊 … #bcapples #organicapples #bcorganic #pacscertified #experiments #yarlingtonmill #dabinett #mikilife #portersperfection #auroragoldengala #goldenrusset #gravenstein #comoxvalley #vancouverislandapples

#TBT this summer, Brian and Lia McCormick invited us to host a cooking demo and wine pairing at Clever Crow Farm in Black Creek. Clever Crow is a magical place to begin with; but cooking for friends, in the middle of a meadow, on a sunny day was a bucolic dream none of us wanted to wake up from. … The focus was on fresh, vibrant ingredients; and Beaufort’s crisp, juicy, cool-climate wines. Influenced by Italian dishes and cooking methods, the recipes we shared are an ode to simplicity, and spectacular local farm produce. Click the link in our bio for a very versatile savoury frangipane tart. If end-of-season tomatoes are occupying every bowl and basket in your kitchen right now, this is a winning way to use them up. 🍅As for wine, slightly chill a bottle of our 2018 Pinot Noir and glug, glug, glug... 🍷 … If you like the sound of this event, be sure to follow @clevercrowfarm for details on 2022’s workshop and demo series. … 📸: @danikasea @ediblevanisle 🙏🙏 … #buybc #comoxvalley #blackcreekbc #neighbours #bcfarms #tomatoes #cookingdemo #clevercrowfarmbc #coolclimatewine #bcwine #vancouverislandwine #beaufortwine #beaufortwinery

18•C and sunny is everyone’s favourite harvest weather. No such luck today. It was all very soggy. 🌧☔️ … Clif bars help, but what you really want is someone to bring you a fresh set of work clothes, ideally still warm from the dryer, and a hot coffee. Oh, and a new pair of gum boots that don’t leak at the ankles. … That said, the Ortega is in; and the fruit is in great shape despite the deluges of recent days. At this point, we have harvested half of our 10 vineyard varieties; Ortega, Siegerrebe, Schonburger, Gewürztraminer and Petite Milo. The 5 that remain hanging (for now) are: Leon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann, Marechal Foch, and the Pinots Noir and Gris. Getting there! … #bcwine #vancouverislandwine #ortega #coolclimatewine #comoxvalley #harvest2021 #kubota #teamwork

Easing into #harvest2021 with an early Ortega pick. In house team only with Freya, Alex, Rolland, Mark, Dav and Cohen in the vines this morning. … Just a wee one today—a ton or so of Ortega for our trad method Zephra. Full cluster press. The Siegerrebe is still hanging. Everyone’s watching the weather on their own favourite app. Cereal bars have been bought. Tanks are clean. Feels kinda like the run up to a high jump in 6th grade P.E.; trepidation and excitement in equal measure. Here we go! … #bcwine #vancouverislandwine #grapeharvest #ortega #tradmethod #coolclimatewines #vitisvinifera #notahybrid #beaufortwines #beaufortwinery #kubota

All good things must come to an end—our 2021 tasting season included. 💚 … As our team prepares for harvest and crush, we’d like to remind you that our tasting room will close for the season on Sunday September 12th at 5pm. Jump on our website to book a tasting (there are a handful of spots left). 📱💻 … Our team at Beaufort is small (but perfectly formed!). Our roles and responsibilities span all facets of the winery operation; from winemaking and vineyard management, through to tasting room work. We open seasonally, and only at weekends, because we are otherwise working in the vineyard, cellar, or winery. … We love the ebb and flow of a year at Beaufort, and harvest time means all hands on deck—we want to make sure we’ve plenty to pour next year. If you visited us in 2021, THANK YOU! If you didn’t get the chance, don’t worry; we’ll be back in the Spring. Ebbs and flows. It’s how we roll.
