The fresh alpine air and mild climate invigorates and invites you to explore a landscape of mountains, valleys, lakes and pristine provincial parks.
Graced with deep blue inlets and pine covered forests, The Aerie is the gateway to the Cowichan Valley, cherished as the next "Provence". Filled with friendly people, you’ll discover artisans, glass blowers, farmers, winemakers, monks, Shepherds, cheese makers, chefs, fisherman and falconers. A day of touring and tasting is a wonderful treat for the senses. To help you enjoy it all, The Aerie Concierge will put together routes and activities that reflect your interests. We can create full day guided tours to organic farms, wineries, lunch at a local restaurant, and even a cooking class designed by our award-winning Chef.
The coastal island ecology naturally inspires The Aerie Spa. Our highly skilled therapists will nourish your body with nutrient rich wild seaweed treatments, rejuvenating facials and massages – all with personal attention to your well-being.
Together the elements of The Aerie Resort & Spa have been carefully designed for an unforgettable escape that allows you to quiet your mind and stimulate your senses through a deeper connection with all the wonders of nature.

Organic
Discerning patrons of the world's best restaurants have long known of the importance of local, organic ingredients to a rewarding dining experience. Over the years the culinary team at the Aerie has cultivated a foraging program with our local farmers and fishermen that affords us the opportunity to create unique, authentic menus that showcase incredible flavours and respect our local community.
Organic farming has long been an integral part of the cultural landscape of Vancouver Island. Fortunately, the Aerie is blessed to be located at the centre of it all. Local farmers offer us fresh lamb, chicken, duck, herbs and vegetables organically grown within a twenty-mile radius. Fisherman in our surrounding Pacific Ocean offer us their daily catch of fresh wild salmon, halibut, crab, prawns and oysters. Even hunters in the wilderness share their delicate venison and hearty game and prepare it exclusively for the Aerie. Together they enable us to eat locally reducing our environmental impact while delivering unsurpassed freshness, flavour and the true natural essence within every ingredient.
