Our wines are lovingly made from grapes grown here at SouthEnd Farm , and at our growers, Sleeping Cougar Acres, in the Comox Valley.
We keep our winery small and local, in accordance with our principles. We use a minimal amount of sulphites and additives, and our vineyard is grown as organically as we can for the health of the vines, the animals and ourselves.
