elderberry, elderflower, and everything in between

Unknown berries

My friend told me these were elderberries, can anyone confirm or deny?

I am from Vancouver Island and my partner and I have 3 acres that we hope to plant in Elderberries this Spring! We are very inspired and excited. So far we have been wild crafting the Blue Elderberry as they grow plentiful here. We are not too sure which varieties we plan to plant. So far this season I have made syrup, dried some berries and have 2, 5 gallon carboy's of wine fermenting. I do not know how many members are a part of this group but I hope to make connections with others that love this bush! Thank you!
