Sage Hayward Vineyards

Sage Hayward Vineyards grows grapes at Saturna (Saturna Island), in the Gulf Islands appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1995.

Where it sits

Sage Hayward Vineyards is at Saturna (Saturna Island), and its fruit falls inside Gulf Islands, 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, Pinot gris, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot meunier.

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.
