At 40 Knots, clean ethical wines are a promise.
40 Knots is one of the largest wineries on Vancouver Island, farming sustainably and using the best practices from organics, biodynamic and plant-based practices, on 24 stunning acres. We craft wines distinctly shaped by the ocean breeze and sun-soaked climate.
We are both family and dog friendly surrounded by gardens, lush grapevines and swallows soaring above. You can feel the ocean breeze and hear an occasional seal lion barking as you walk along our interpretive trail or while enjoying a tour of the vineyard.
Our goal is to grow ultra-premium grapes on Vancouver Island. Some of the greatest vineyards in the world are grown near oceans with the salt air embedding the Burgundy oak. Great wines are not made in the tank and the barrel. Great wines come from the vineyard.
