Averill Creek Vineyard - Charme de l'îleAverill Creek is a estate producer, sourcing only a small percentage of their grapes. Their property is surrounded by forests, which provide both protection and a range of growing conditions. The result is unique character in the fruit, owing to varying amounts of sunlight and shade in different plots. The vineyard is situated on Royston Qualicum soil: a blend of glacial stone, clay, and old growth organics, which allows sufficient drainage and root
