The Gulf Islands Address

Morning Bay Vineyard & Farm, Pender Island, BC, Canada

Description

Own your own seaside valley. From ridgetop to ridgetop, Morning Bay Vineyard & Farm on Pender Island has no neighbours. A dream agricultural lifestyle in a unique, oceanfront setting, Morning Bay Vineyard & Farm is a true experience of the Gulf Islands. A private residence surrounded by vineyards in the valley, and turn-key winery on the hilltop, were both designed by renowned Vancouver architect, Walter Francl. Almost 27 acres of sloping, southern and eastern oceanfront, the farm development plan was prepared by award-winning landscape architect Jane Durante for maximum privacy and function.

Using sustainable design principals, the winery is constructed of materials and uses site influences chosen carefully to maximize energy efficiency. Timbers from the clearing of the vineyard were milled on site and used exclusively in the construction, while a concrete foundation dug into a north-facing slope moderates the building's temperature. The facility is a fully integrated winemaking site and wine shop with the potential to develop a 56-seat restaurant.

Winestock Music & Wine Festival – now coming up on its fifth year, which is Morning Bay’s signature event and a Pender Island attraction, is a great example of the agri-tourism component of the estate and the possibility to grow this business.

Since 2005 Morning Bay has been specializing in cooler climate varietals and the house white, “Bianco” is a signature wine of the Estate. Wine from Morning Bay's second-ever release, 2006, won a silver medal at the All-Canadian Wine Competition. Morning Bay wines have also won medals at national and international wine festivals.

Their website www.morningbay.ca is optimized to create vigorous traffic. Their list of restaurant clients includes the best restaurants in Vancouver, Whistler. Victoria and Tofino. Morning Bay wines are sold in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Their extensive network of direct-delivery customers orders their wines on-line from as far away as Prince Edward Island.
