CHURCH AND STATE WINES VICTORIA
The Church and State Winery is located just 25 kilometres from Victoria. Set in the beautiful Brentwood Bay just minutes away from Butchart Gardens, Church and State Victoria is one of the most prolific wineries in the Saanich Peninsula. Visitors here can expect to sample a variety of award winning wines as well as unique creations made with fresh local ingredients from the bistro during the peak season. The winery in Victoria produces sparkling wines made from local grapes as well as stocking premium wines sourced from the group’s other location in the Okanagan Valley.
Church and State History
Church and State wines was founded in 2004 by entrepreneur Kim Pullan who began by purchasing the defunct Victoria Estate Winery set on 25 acres in the Saanich Peninsula. The winery was soon shut down for major renovations to convert the old facility into a modern space with rustic elements that would allow visitors to enjoy the day sampling wines and having meals in beautiful grounds. Since its renovation, the winery has become the go-to place for many tourists looking to wile the day away relaxing in peaceful and beautiful surroundings. A popular wedding venue, the Victoria winery hosts at least 60 weddings a year, in addition to numerous tastings and wine tours throughout the year.
