Westham Island Winery How to find


Wesham Island Estate Winery is on Westham Island, in Delta, British Columbia. To get there from highway 99 go east on highway 10 (Ladner Trunk Road) through Ladner Village then turn right onto Westham road, cross the single lane bridge and the winery is on the left several kilometers from the bridge. Be careful the sign is simple it just says Winery and the boutique is a simple home converted into a store. Just simple hardworking people trying to make a go of it with a fruit farm and winery who make you feel at home while tasting their signature wines. The type of people I like to trade with and an example of why I started this blog. They also make some very good fruit wines definitely worth a return visit.

Westham Island Winery Delta, BC


The exterior of the wine boutique is equally simple as it is an old single story home converted into a Wine Boutique. But do not be fooled by the simple exterior it is beautifully decorated inside and sales various local honeys, jellies, jams, and cheeses.

Westham Island Winery Jams and Jellies


If you are looking for unique jellies and jams this is the place. They have Pure Black Currant Jelly, Peach Jams, Pure Apricot Almond Jam, Pure Strawberry Jam, Pure Gooseberry Jam, Boysenberry Jam, Blueberry Jam, Cherry Jam, Rhubarb Ginger Jam, Rhubarb Raspberry Jam, and many others. You could easily have a different jam or jelly each week and not repeat any for a year. Sweet tooth heaven!

Westham Island Winery - Jammery Jam with Alcohol


Yes, they even have jam with alcohol. They also have several types of syrup such as Blueberry, Raspberry, Bumblueberry, Strawberry, and Tayberry syrups. Sorry, no alcohol in the syrups. These are not items you will find in the local supermarket or grocery stores. But they do add a little spice in your life and make for a unique shopping experience.

Westham Island Winery – Fruit Wines


Our purchase on this trip was a wine & cheese tote, spice cheese, Bries cheese, Boysenberry wine, Snogoos wine, and blueberry wine. The Boysenberry wine is a sweet after dinner desert wine. The blueberry wine is not as sweet but I like this wine after a hard day at work to relax before the meal or a lazy weekend afternoon. The SnoGoos wine is a blend of red and green gooseberries. The blend of red berries being sweet and the green berries being tart makes for a well balanced wine that is neither two sweet or to dry. I like this wine with pastas or pizzas.
