We will also be building booths in our dining room with separation from eachother to allow for more comfortable but separated dining.

Was SUUUUUPER excited to see this beautiful parking-stall patio on a hill similar to ours in Ladysmith last weekend. We were so thrilled with the support of our Garden space this summer and are exploring the potential of adding a parking-stall patio for the coming spring! What do you think? Would you dine here? ... Great work to the Ladysmith businesses that created this beautiful space #exploreportalberni #portalberni #albernivalley #winebar #wine #restaurant #dinner #uptowndistrict #patio #summer #spring #vancouverIsland #ladysmith #tourismvancouverisland #albernivalleytourism #garden #dinein

Last January, with the help of my sisters in Victoria (Sidney) I stumbled upon this amazing little wine bar and fromagerie. It was love at first sight and I was immediately inspired to open something similar in Port Alberni. Four weeks later we signed a lease on the old Carters Shoes building and just a few short months later we opened the doors to Brie & Barrel. Its been a whirlwind but such an fantastic journey. It was so great to return this weekend for a lovely dinn...er with my sisters and best friend. TThe Farmers Daughteris an incredible little gem with a great atmosphere and amazing owners. Id encourage all our Brie & Barrel lovers to make a point of stopping in next time youre in the area. Also were open tonight 4-10pm with some reservation space left available.
