THE ART OF WINE COUNTRY

There are five main wine regions in British Columbia, each producing a range of grape varieties and wines — the Okanagan Valley, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, the Fraser Valley and the Similkameen Valley.

There is no better way to understand the wines of British Columbia than to visit the places where they‘re made. In visiting each region, it‘s important to remember that wine begins with grapes, fruit and honey, vineyards and wineries, but is really so much more.

Look around. What makes a wine region unique is what makes its wines unique. Look at what else is growing nearby. Look at the soil. Pick some up and smell it. Good wine will reflect the natural and agricultural heritage of the land. And because BC wines are handmade on a smaller scale, they are nurtured in ways others just can‘t.
