Charcuterie in The Vineyard
Zanatta Winery is thrilled to announce their new partnership with Cobble Hill’s Cure Artisan Meat and Cheese.
Guests can now enjoy a glass of wine along with cheese and charcuterie boards on Zanatta’s beautiful verandah and garden patio overlooking the vines. Sip, savour and relax in the heart of Cowichan Valley.
Celebrating over fifty years of growing grapes, Zanatta was the first winery to officially open on Vancouver Island. The vineyard origins date back to the 1950’s when family patriarch, Dionisio (Dennis) Zanatta, who was originally from Italy decided that the Cowichan Valley’s warm climate was perfect for growing grapes. He decided to add grape vines to his dairy farm and the rest is Canadian wine history.
The Cowichan Valley’s local wine industry has blossomed thanks to the vision and dedication of the Zanatta family. Today, the Cowichan Valley is recognized as an official wine region by the British Columbia Wine Authority and is now home to over a dozen local wineries. Zanatta remains a small family owned winery and uses only grapes that have been grown in their own vineyard to make their wines. Zanatta is known for their award-winning wines including Damasco a local favourite and their exceptional sparkling wines made in the traditional champagne method.
“Growing up with my father, cheese, charcuterie and wine was a family tradition” says Loretta Zanatta. “Our partnership with Cure Artisan Meat and Cheese allows us to share this tradition by offering the best of Vancouver Island charcuterie and cheese. “
Brad Boisvert and his wife Leah opened Cure Artisan Meat and Cheese in the Valleyview Centre in 2014. Here they make their own dry-cured meats as well as heavenly house-made pâtés and sausages. Cheeses are sourced from local producers as well as the best from around the world.
“Our charcuterie and cheese boards are specially curated for Zanatta’’ says Brad Boisvert. “Wine, cheese and charcuterie on Zanatta’s patio is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.”
For the month of June, Zanatta is donating 10% from all charcuterie and cheese boards sold at the winery and all bar tastings to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation.
Zanatta Winery is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00am to 4:30pm. Reservations are recommended. Phone: 250 748 2338 Email: tastingroom@ zanatta.ca.
