About Cask & Barrel
Choosing something to bring to dinner is easier in a valley where a good deal of it is made within a few kilometres. Cask and Barrel occupies part of the commercial block at 1135 Stevens Road in Lakeview Heights, an address shared with three other businesses, which puts it in the middle of the bench between the vineyard slopes and the residential streets.
Private liquor retail varies more than the shelves suggest at a glance. Range is the obvious difference, but so are cold storage for beer and cider, how much local product is carried, whether staff can order in something specific, and what the arrangement is for larger quantities before an event. Anyone putting drinks together for a wedding, a party or a long weekend is better off asking about volume and timing well ahead, since a case of something particular is rarely sitting on a shelf waiting for you. The number is 778 755 6116 and caskbarrel.ca is the starting point.
The setting is part of the practicality. Lakeview Heights sits between the Boucherie tasting rooms and the beaches at Gellatly Bay, which makes a stop here an easy addition to an afternoon already spent on the west side. British Columbia rules on carrying and consuming alcohol in public spaces apply at the beaches and the parks, so plan accordingly if the shoreline is the destination. And if you are heading back over the bridge afterward, arrange the drive before the first pour rather than after, which is the only sensible way to handle a valley built around tasting rooms.
