Saturna Island Vineyards, Estate of the Day

There are some properties that just stick with me. This is one of them. I first wrote about the Saturna Island Winery back in 2006. The property is a vineyard on one of Vancouver's scenic Gulf Islands. The 78-acre estate has a mature 62 acre vineyard, 10,000 sq.ft winery, wine shop, tasting room, and a licensed bistro. This unique winery can only be reached by boat or float plane. The winery grows Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and more on four separate vineyards. Although it is a young winery, they have already received many Canadian wine awards. Back in 2006, the property was listed at $6.5 million Canadian.

Fast forward to now and Saturna Island is back on the market. The name and brand, "Saturna Island Family Estate Winery," the equipment, furnishings and fixtures used in the operation of the vineyard and winery as well as the vineyard machinery and equipment with bottled and bulk wine inventory are included with in the sale. The winery can process up to 20,000 cases of wine per year. The property is also zoned to build a Vineyard Inn for overnight stays. The main home is on two acres and has four bedrooms. There is also a guest cottage and an infinity edge pool and hot tub which look out over the ocean. It is now listed at $15 million.
