Roost Farm Centre

Roost Farm Centre grows grapes at North Saanich, in the Vancouver Island appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 2008.

Where it sits

Roost Farm Centre is at North Saanich, and its fruit falls inside Vancouver Island, one of the recognised growing areas of British Columbia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.

What it grows

The winery works with Pinot Noir, Marechal Foch, Siegerrebe and Leon Millot.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.

Vineyard area: 2 acres of vines on a 10-acre farm.
