wine
Bathed in the warmth of Hornby Island's microclimate, our five-acre vineyard flourishes from an abundance of sunny days. With a long-standing tradition of farming, those early hearts understood the magic hidden within the soil. Today, the unique terroir, a combination of geography, climate, and geology, makes Hornby Island ideally suited for viticulture.
crafted with heart
Hornby Heart wines are crafted by winemaker, Amy Baugh, whose talents for viticulture have flourished over her years at the vineyard. Amy’s creativity and refinement, combined with her passion for a more natural approach have brought forth Hornby Heart’s impressive selection of vintages.
Drop by for a tasting and there’s a good chance Amy will be there to tell you about our wines and wine making process, as you sip and enjoy our Heart forward wines for yourself.
uncorked alchemy — where science meets artistry
Inspired by nature and the beauty of the vines, Rebecca Goldman weaves her creativity onto every bottle. From canvas to label, hues of lilac and bluebell dance with sages and rose. The result — a label as unique as the batch itself.
