Our Story

Crafted with care. Rooted in legacy. Curated for today.

Pressed for Vine is more than a store — it's a living expression of taste, connection, and intention.

The first location opened in 2014 as part of a family-run venture that grew across Vancouver Island. While seasons have changed, our heart remains the same: to offer premium olive oils, barrel-aged balsamic vinegars, and pantry staples that elevate the everyday.

Now lovingly owned and operated by daughter Chelsea Girardin, Pressed for Vine is entering a new chapter. Relaunching with fresh energy, modern spirit, and a deep respect for the legacy that inspired it, she’s reimagining the space as both a neighbourhood staple and a lifestyle experience.

Our mission is simple: to create a space that invites you to slow down, taste with intention, and discover your next favourite.

Whether you're here to savour or you're simply pressed for time — we’ve got you.

Welcome to your modern tasting bar meets boutique pantry.
