Firmly rooted in the PEI community, the Beamish Family Orchard has expanded to produce artisan spirits and liqueurs reflecting an authentic Island taste experience. Continuing to use environmentally responsible processes and local ingredients, hear their story from roots to bottle and sample the expanding product line. They were awarded a gold medal on their Absinthe and a silver medal on their Island Tide at the 2019 Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition. The Beamish Family started a small orchard in 1990 growing organic apples in Warren Grove, just a few minutes from Charlottetown. Deep Roots Distillery opened in 2014. “We strive to maintain an authentic artisan craft experience in our total process. It has been a tremendous learning experience and we are happy to share this with you when you visit our distillery.” Deep Roots products can be found in PEI Liquor outlets, at the distillery and the Charlottetown Farmers Market.

Matos Winery & Vineyards is a family- owned and family-run business. In 2007, after spending much time researching the growing conditions and suitability of establishing a vineyard in PEI, Jim Matos and his family purchased a 50 acre parcel of land in St. Catherines. They applied the French concept of terroir – finding a place where the combination of soil, slope, sun exposure and the peculiar weather vagaries allow certain grape varieties to unfold their unique characteristics. Matos wines have consistently won awards in Canada and internationally.

Matos also offers unique spirits and liqueurs that complement their award winning wines.

Both Jaime and Heather Matos welcome everyone to their winery and invite you to book a tour of the vineyard and winery before stopping into the gift shop for samples with cheese and crackers. Tours are $10 plus HST per person and need to be booked a day or two in advance. Cheers.
