Seven years ago today we opened the door on Ingram Street to The Old Firehouse Wine Bar. The opening day was as much a blur as the final days of our beloved Gallowglass Books were. The video shows a bit of our journey! 🎉🎥

Amazing to be at this point and seeing all the growth in Cowichan and beautiful downtown Duncan over that time.

Thanks so much to our two families, the Downie’s and the McGinley’s for helping us get to this point. All the incredible staff past and present that have brought the creativity and passion to give the place personality and to all the incredible guests who have made this place feel some true magic at times.

Also, a big thank you to all the small businesses in Duncan and beyond that have supported the Wine Bar and given it their blessing.

Here’s to another seven and seeing where this incredible Cowichan Valley goes from here.

With sincere gratitude,

Jeff Downie and Alanah McGinley Downie
