Vancouver Island, Canada

The 34 Acre Cherry Point Estate property situated in the heart of the Cowichan Valley is a short drive from Victoria to the south, and Nanaimo to the North . Cowichan, is named by the Coast Salish First Nations word Quw’utsun’ meaning “land warmed by the Sun” - obvious to those who visit as it boasts the highest mean temperatures in Canada . The land benefits from its proximity to the natural beauty of the ocean coastline looking out over the Satellite Channel with panoramic views of Salt Spring Island .

Cherry Point was established in 1990 when the founders purchased 34 acres on a former mink ranch . Since wine growing was a new phenomenon on the island, they planted the vineyard with several grape varieties, for nobody really knew which grapes suited the Island’s soil and climate . After the grape trials, Cherry Point Vineyards became one of the first licensed wineries on Vancouver Island in 1994 .

Today Cherry Point is committed to only using grapes grown on the estate . The vineyard is well recognized in the local community, despite a small marketing budget . The lions share of business is from word-of-mouth and on-site sales .

Historical Background

In 2009 a a wine-loving economist from Colombia, Xavier Bonilla, took over as the new owner of Cherry Point Vineyards, one of the stalwarts of Cowichan Valley wine production .

Xaiver is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin with a masters degree in agriculture . He has worked as an agricultural economist for three Colombian presidents while also operating a 50-head dairy farm an hour outside Bogota .

Using her experience from their West Vancouver restaurant, Maria Bonilla has taken over Cherry Point’s Bistro . A popular wedding venue and a favourite stop for wine tourists, the bistro was launched by the winery’s original owners and expanded by the Bonilla family . It has proven one of the wineries strongest connections with the community .

The beautiful herb garden patio seating and indoor pavilion dining room overlooking the vines are the backdrop for many great events such as dinner theatre, long table dinners in the vineyard, a Friday evening patio oyster bar, and wine release parties . Cherry Point also hosts weddings and large events .

While they are not certified organic, they employ organic practices, spraying only natural elements and taking the utmost care of the land . They also compost on site, making compost tea to apply to the vineyard, and mulch all their prunings back onto the soil .

The land here is very aromatic and produces very aromatic white wines .Their 2011 Ortega won a Double-Gold Medal at the 2012 All Canadian Wine Competition in Toronto – a feat achieved by very few wines .

A-1 Zoning and Ordinances Agricultural Land Reserve

The property is in the Agricultural Land Reserve . To fully understand these restrictions, please review the ALC Act and ALR Regulation .

The ALR is a provincial land-use zone in which agriculture is recognized as the priority use . It is the biophysical resource base that supports farm and ranch activities in the province . Farming/ranching of ALR land is encour-aged and non-agricultural uses are regulated . If you wish to subdivide, use your land for non-farm purposes or exclude it altogether from the ALR, you must submit an application to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) and obtain its approval .

The Agricultural Land Commission Act (the “ALC Act”)and Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Pro-cedure Regulation (the ALR Regulation”) prioritizes agricultural land use within the reserve and allows for some additional land uses that may be regulated or prohibited by local government .

Can I develop my ALR property for any land use I like?Only if it is for agricultural purposes . If not, you require formal approval from the ALC before initiating any devel-opment or land use that is not currently allowed by the ALC Act and the ALR Regulation . If approval is given for a change of land use, the land owner or operator is subject to compliance with all other legislation and rules that may apply to the land, including but not limited to local government zoning . How many dwellings are permitted per parcel?One single-family dwelling per land registry parcel is permitted within the ALR provided it is permitted by zoning .

I want to put an additional dwelling on my property. What are my options?Permitted in the ALR:

A . Suite within a single family dwelling . Unless prohibited by a local government bylaw, the ALR Regulation permits a secondary suite for residential purposes, wholly contained within a single family dwelling, on a parcel in the ALR . The secondary suite use is not limited as to who occupies the suite . For more information, see ALC Policy #8 .B . Additional dwelling (manufactured home) for an immediate family member. Unless prohibited by local gov-ernment bylaw, one manufactured home up to 9 metres in width, for use by the owner’s immediate family is permitted . For more information, see ALC Policy #8 .

May be permitted in the ALR:A . Additional residences for farm help. Additional residences may be permitted by a local government (see Sec-tion 18 ALC Act) if they are necessary for full-time, bona fide farm/ranch operations and if the number of residences is commensurate with agricultural activities being undertaken on the parcel . A local government must be convinced that there is a legitimate need for an additional residence for farm help . Criteria may include the parcel having “Farm” classification under the Assessment Act, size and type of farm operation and other relevant factors . If there is any doubt with respect to need, an application under Section 20 (3) of the ALC Act for permission for non-farm use is required . For more information, see ALC Policy #9 .

Not permitted in the ALR:A . Additional permanent dwelling for an immediate family member . An additional permanent dwelling for use by an immediate family member and that is not necessary for farm/ranch operations will require an applica-tion for non-farm use under Section 20 (3) of the ALC Act .B . Additional dwelling (permanent or manufacture home) for a non-farm use other than an immediate fam-ily member . An additional manufactured home, or permanent dwelling for use by a non-immediate family member and that is not necessary for farm/ranch operations, will require an application for non-farm use under Section 20 (3) of the ALC Act .
