I'm so excited to be up and running again and able to offer tours over the summer!

Things will look a little different this season with smaller group sizes and measures in place to keep everyone safe and healthy. Details are on the website.

As local businesses and attractions are working on their own reopening, available tours are changing daily. The best way to book for now is to call or email.

Look out for more announcements soon about new tours and some new exciting ways to explore the Peninsula...

I can't wait to see you!

Devine Distillery & Winery

Huge congratulations to Devine Distillery & Winery for their wins this week at the 2020 Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition! If you're looking for something to do this weekend, why not head up to their beautiful tasting room on the Peninsula and try for yourself? Cheers! 🥃

We've got GOLD on our mind...

Our beloved Moderna Vermouth🥇 and Ancient Grains🥇 both took home gold medals yesterday along with 6 other medals including a Best in Class Award across our DEVINE Spirit/Vermouth family at the 2020 Canadian Artisan Spirit Awards.

And to celebrate these golds, we want to share with you the first video of our newest DEVINE Cocktail Series!

Introducing.....

"THE GOLDEN MANHATTAN"

Shot in the golden barley fields at our farm in the Saanich Peninsula, head bartender Jayce Kadyschuk from Clive's Classic Lounge builds this cocktail creation amongst the barley that is grown for our Ancient Grains 'Young' Whisky.

'Sip' back, relax and we hope you enjoy this visually tasty experience brought to you by Justus Lowry of Rain Owl Productions.
