2025 TOUR DATE INFORMATION !

We invite you to  e x p e r i e n c e  tea at Westholme through our Tea Tour + Tasting.

Join the Tea Maker (Victor Vesely) and the Westholme Team on a guided tour + taste of the Westholme Tea Garden - the first commercial Tea Garden in Canada - where we grow Camellia sinensis for our rare Canadian terroir tea.

A truly unique, memorable and connective taste of Tea.

This year marks the 15th year of growing Canadian Tea and the 9th year of sharing our collection.

We are looking forward to sharing tea with you!

The tradition of tea is closely tied to place – the region, the mountain, the slope. In 2010 we began planting our own tea to take advantage of the unique terroir of our home. This is the very first Canadian estate-grown tea in the world – an authentic expression of the land, soil, and climate of our farm.
