Located on a heritage dairy farm nestled in the shadow of Mt. Arrowsmith, Little Qualicum Cheeseworks and Mooberry Winery produce a selection of world-class cheeses and award-winning fruit wines. Made from the high-quality milk of our herd of happy dairy cows, we have an artisan cheese to suit any occasion. And just across the courtyard is the winery, where delectable fruit wines pair perfectly with the cheeses. Come and visit us at the farm and sample our products, stay for a tour and visit our animals – we’d love to meet you! We are open daily 9 am-5 pm.
