Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
One of the oldest Estate Wineries in all of British Columbia, Blue Grouse is truly a magical place! Nestled on a 32arce piece of unspoiled Cowichan Valley countryside, this family owned winery and vineyard produces some of the most awarded wines on the entire island! From Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Ortega, Bacchus and the very rare Black Muscat, Blue Grouse produces new classic wines from old island vines.

The staff at Blue Grouse are very friendly and accommodating! They do a great job at making the tasting experience safe due to Covid by having the glasses all poured and tables made up nicely with information provided on the wines. The staff do a great commentary and provide an excellent tasting experience. We were pretty happy with the wines. Blue Grouse is a beautiful estate winery with lovely views of the vineyard and mountain vistas. I highly recommend Blue Grouse!

Stopped by on a lovely sunny Thanksgiving weekend. Sampled a flight including guest hazy pale ale from Nanaimo. Great beer, friendly and knowledgeable staff and Covid precautions in play. Warm patio and Taco truck providing cheap, tasty snacks. I can really recommend the pork belly and fish tacos. Don’t miss this as you drive past on the highway just south of Duncan.

As others have said, this is an absolutely incredible collection. It's perhaps more of a personal collection than a museum in the regularly recognised sense, and you would think that the days when someone could put together a collection like this are long, long gone Bear in mind that Jim Schockey's interest in big game hunting is paramount, and this shows, of course. But if you have doubts about big game hunting it's well worth putting them on one side for the moment to experience this place: there can't be many places in the world like it. I live in the area, and I'll be back: on the next occasion I'll leave a great deal more time.
