We are honoured and excited to welcome you to BC wine country. British Columbia’s nine wine regions are known for pristine and extreme natural beauty, and the wines are a true reflection of that, recognized for their fresh intensity and world-class quality.
There is so much to explore across BC wine country. Hundreds of wineries are waiting to welcome you, each with their own unique story, wines, and experiences on offer. The Wines of BC Explorer App is the best tool to discover a wine adventure tailored to your palate and touring preferences. Download the App and use search filters such as ‘family friendly’, ‘accessible’, ‘organic’, and more, to help you plan your perfect trip.
BC wineries prioritize the health and safety of their guests and community. All visitors are encouraged to follow individual public health measures and check in on the most up-to-date provincial health policies ahead of and during their stay.
We also recommend connecting directly with wineries in advance of your visit to ensure a smooth and easy winery experience. Know before you go if reservations are required or suggested, what wine experiences are on offer and what price range to expect for your tasting experience, and any other details you may like to know ahead of your visit.
