TellTale Winery

TellTale Winery grows grapes at Cobble Hill, in the Vancouver Island appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1992.

Where it sits

TellTale Winery is at Cobble Hill, 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 Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Auxerrois, Muscat, Muller Thurgau, Ortega, Bacchus, Siegerrebe, Schonberger, Chasselas, Ehrenfelser, Wurzer, Huxelrebe, Gloria, Reichensteiner and Cantaro.

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.

Visiting

open Sat & Sun 12 to 4 PM, private tastings outside those hours by arrangement

Also in British Columbia: Terravista Vineyards, The Gallery Winery. The full list is on the British Columbia page.
