Stellaris has been coming and going in the store as we disgorge each batch. But what does it mean to disgorge a traditional method wine? And why the wait? … Click the link in our bio to read about the whole messy process! 🥂🍾✨ … #vancouverislandwine #bcwine #disgorging #traditionalmethod #methodechampenoise #coolclimate #beaufortwines #stellaris #christineboyerart #sparklingwine

No relation to Obi Wan, LoRaWAN is an open source hardware technology that we’re using to gather data on possible vineyard expansion sites. Specifically, we are measuring temperature in real time, at multiple locations, because no one wants to plant vines in a frost pocket. ❄️❌ … If the initial results are favourable, we can add some more advanced sensors for soil moisture and precipitation. … Cohen is preparing the sensor modules for installation. For most of us, this would be a nightmare. Good job he enjoys such nerdery. 🤓 … #beaufortwinery #worksmart #pacscertified #bcwine #coolclimatewine #vancouverislandwine #datacollection #morebetterwine

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
