Our Wine

At Vigneti Zanatta...

We create wine that embodies the true flavours of the Cowichan Valley. We craft our wine from fruit exclusively grown on our Glenora vineyards, giving us complete control over the quality and flavour of our product.

We pride ourselves on making wine that is utterly accessible: affordable and delicious, our wine is made to enjoy as often as you like. Truly Vancouver lsland, our wine is satisfying on every level.

Pioneering Style and Flavour

Our family has been working with our land since the 1950s. Vigneti Zanatta was the first winery on Vancouver Island to specialize in Champagne-style wines (or, “méthode champanoise.”) Our process is intensive: all of our bottles are hand riddled and disgorged. From bottling to labeling, Vigneti Zanatta is hands-on.

Pinot Nero

$23.00

Damasco

$17.29

A subtle blend of four varieties and a unique vinification gives Damasco its fruity bouquet and rich ‘mouthfeel’ with a slight effervescence.

Light and fresh, it makes a perfect appetizer or sipping wine, but is also very suited to Asian or light west coast foods.

Brut Tradizionale

This sparkling wine is made in the traditional method of Champagne, using Pinot Nero grapes (Pinot Noir).

Rich in toasty notes, our Tradizionale has an excellent integration of carbon dioxide, which creates a delicious profusion of small, persistent bubbles.
