GARRY OAKS VINEYARD AND WINERY We grow grapes sustainably,
respecting the natural conditions — sun, wind, soil — of our vineyard. Our whites carry a backbone of minerality from our stony slopes. Our reds have a hint of spice we taste in the air. All have a trademark freshness that echoes our Salt Spring breezes. Come visit, or ask for our wines at fine wine stores. 1880 Fulford-Ganges Rd., 250.653.4687 www.garryoakswinery.com
