Sage Hayward Vineyards is proudly family-owned and operated, a partnership of two brothers and their wives – a dynamic team blending four perspectives with a shared commitment to quality and care in everything we do.

The Hayward family’s connection to Saturna Island stretches back over 30 years. Gord and Bettianne Hayward first came to Saturna in 1989, building a retreat that soon became a gathering place for five children, their families, and a growing circle of friends. Summers, holidays, and celebrations all found a home here, with the vineyard becoming a favorite backdrop for milestones both big and small.

In 2019, Geoff Hayward, one of the brothers, chose to spend his final months here after an ALS diagnosis. His daily visits to the vines and the sea beyond deepened our family’s bond with the land. Today, Lake Geoffrey, at the foot of Falcon Ridge Vineyard, stands as a tribute to him, alongside the resting places of both Geoff and his father, Gord, in Saturna’s cemetery.

Upon acquiring the property in August 2020, we inherited a vineyard that had been left fallow for nearly a decade.
As a family-led partnership of two brothers and their wives, we bring four unique perspectives, bound by a shared vision and unwavering loyalty. With the support of our extended family and the Saturna community, each person plays a role in shaping the future of our vineyard.

There’s a saying that you plant vineyards for your grandchildren—a sentiment that guides every decision we make, ensuring this land thrives for generations to come.
Our vision for this land extends beyond winemaking—it’s about protecting a place that holds deep sentimental value for our family. This special corner of Saturna, where we’ve spent decades, is more than a vineyard; it’s a landscape rich with memories, shaped by its cliffs, wildlife, and community.
