Escape to the Saanich Countryside with Sixty Forty

 

A quick drive from either Victoria or Swartz Bay to the turnoff for Mount Newton Cross Road leading to your journey’s end at Sixty Forty. This unique destination awaits just minutes away, at the same time so far from the ordinary.

On a recent tour of Sixty Forty with award winning chef Paul Moran I was captivated by everything all at once. The 40 acre organic farm, the equestrian stables, the vineyard and the exquisite venue which includes two dining spaces and a large outdoor deck with views of the farm and vineyard.

A labour of love, and a lot of work, has transformed the interior space into the ultimate dining experience.

A Stunning Venue for Every Occasion!
