Located in the heart of the Cowichan Valley's famous 'slow food' zone, this winery has a pretty and serene outlook. The tasting room is expansive and attractive and has informative and knowledgeable staff. Just be warned you may be leaving with more wine than you went in for. I love their sparkling wines and have never seen wine bottled so attractively; they bring those sexy bottles in from Italy! Plan on staying for lunch too.

The site is so beautiful. We did the tasting on the patio in early October. The hostess was very friendly, efficient, and knew the wines well and where the grapes were grown.
We would definitely visit again if out that way. We were disappointed the restaurant was closed on that Monday but the hostess told us of a couple lunch spots nearby one of which we tried and enjoyed.

Visited on September 25th with 4 of my girlfriends. Between us we bought 7 bottles of assorted wine. We were very surprised to still be charged the $5 tasting fee. When I visited last year there was no charge if you bought a bottle. I had told my girlfriends this so I was a little embarrassed. I’m not sure if I will return based on this but if I do I definitely won’t feel the need to buy a bottle of wine.

Hello and thank you for your comment. Note that in March, the early stages of Covid-19, all Cowichan Valley wineries got together on Zoom to collaborate on how best to manage extra costs for staffing and cleaning, especially with fewer guests. We all decided to not waive tasting fees upon reopening to offset these costs. Hope you understand and happy to chat further live? Please call 250.929.2292 (ext. 2) and ask for Chris.

Every time we're anywhere close - we stop in and sample the wares... Of course there's always a few extra bottles end up in the car for the Cellar at home. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, polite and just good folks! Will certainly be back again for dining in the Restaurant!

Really nice to sit on their patio around the pond. Although there is a large farm being built across the street from the winery. It looks to be for cows, so that is going to be a challenge is the wind is blowing towards the winery.
Anyway, for now, we decided to do 2 different tastings. They can also provide a nice cheese plate to go with the wine, without having to go to the restaurant.
Our server was very professional and pleasant.
We enjoyed our time.

We went with friends to Unsworth Vineyards while visiting Vancouver Island in December. We had a nice tasting experience, and received exceptional service when we ordered a case of wine to be delivered to our home. We live in the NT and have never had such amazing delivery service. The wine is very good and we cannot say enough about Christle and the customer service she extended. We have since purchased more Unsworth wine and experienced the same service.

We just popped in while out for a drive to see if we could do a wine tasting and they were able to fit us in with in 15 minutes. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We did all 8 of the wine tasting and really enjoyed it. We had to stand at a barrel table but we were ok as we’re waiting to go to restaurant there. There were empty tables outside but guess it was a COVID staffing issue. Very nicely done and great atmosphere. Highly recommend

It’s worth the drive to the up and coming winery. They have grape varietals you’ve never heard of and will become your favourites! The Chardonnay this year is my favourite for leaning towards a Chablis but staying on this side of the fence. Jacqueline makes the experience, please say hi to her from me

Very friendly staff, very nice wine tasting room. Look for Tim to give you a personalized tour.
Restaurant is perfect for a sunny lunch or quiet dinner. New pizza oven patio is great!

We were on a mini wine tour with our friends and Munsford was one we choose. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The rating area was very busy but we managed to get in. We choose to taste 5 of their wines and all were very good. The rose and Pinot noir were my favourites. Covid protocols were in place.
