Millstone Estate Winery


2300 East Wellington Road
Nanaimo, BC



A family run winery located on the banks of the Millstone River. The owner and winemaker is Dale Shortt . Kristi Shortt (Dales daughter)is also doing the winemaking. Dale obtained the property in 2001. After clearing the land, Shortt realized his property literally soaked in sunshine – in summertime it often registers several degrees warmer than other parts of the city. He purchased 6,000 grapevines and planted them on 2.5 hectares.

The Estate vineyard focuses on Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Ortega and Gewürztraminer.
Signature wines are Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris They also produce Blackberry Port Unfortified

The winery is a post and beam building that was built from the ground up. The wine shop is on the main floor adjacent to the production facility, and it welcomes you with a large patio area for beautiful summer days with live music on weekends.

Winemaker: Dale and Kristi Shortt
Philosophy : To make the best wine possible
