Welcome to Sage Hayward Vineyards
Rooted in the sea
Interested in getting your hands dirty and helping us bring in this year’s grapes?
Sign up below to be added to our harvest volunteer list.
Because harvest depends on the grapes and the weather, exact picking dates can be difficult to predict. When a harvest day is coming up, we’ll reach out to our volunteer list with the details and you can decide if the day works for you. There’s no commitment when you sign up.
On harvest days, we provide coffee, snacks and lunch for our volunteers. At the end of the season, all harvest volunteers are also invited to our annual Harvest Volunteer Dinner to celebrate bringing in the vintage together!
Fill out the form below to be contacted about upcoming harvest days.
Welcome to Sage Hayward Vineyards, a family-owned estate found on Saturna, one of the “string of jewels” that comprise BC’s Gulf Islands. Nestled on a south-facing sea bench between sheer cliffs and ocean currents, the fields stretch down towards historic Saturna beach. It is a stunning landscape, one that still stops us in our tracks every single day. A place of unparalleled tranquility, virtually undisturbed by the sounds of the modern world, its population limited to raptors, wild goats and bees, along with sheep from our neighbour’s farm who get seasonal grazing privileges in return for providing weed control and fertilization.
When we are open for the season, sit on our terrace, sip our wines, and take deep breaths of the sea air. Feel what it’s like to actually step away from your daily concerns and surround yourself with nature’s beauty. Taste the terroir in our vintages and allow yourself to be transported.
Feral Goat Bistro
Seasonal, local fare, served with coastal charm
The Feral Goat Bistro offers a relaxed and flavour-forward dining experience rooted in island life. Led by Head Chef David, whose passion for wood fired pizza and more than 25 years in the kitchen are reflected in every dish, our menus celebrate local ingredients and pair beautifully with Sage Hayward wines.
From hand-stretched pizza dough to house-made sauces and seasonal specials, David and his team prepare nearly everything from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including produce grown right here at Sage Hayward Vineyards. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, a tasting, or a special event, we invite you to gather, linger, and enjoy the best of island life.
