Welcome to BC

With spectacular landscapes and distinct terroir, BC’s nine wine regions are home to internationally celebrated vineyards and one-of-a-kind experiences.

Taste BC in a bottle, from breezy coastal wineries to sagebrush-dotted bluffs in the desert. BC’s nine wine regions are as diverse as the land itself, shaped by dozens of microclimates and ancient soils forged by glaciers, volcanoes, and rushing rivers. These unique growing conditions yield expressive, award-winning wines recognized on the international stage.

There are hundreds of wineries across the province, from coastal vineyards cooled by Pacific Ocean winds to lakeshore estates in BC’s warmer, drier Interior. Inspired by their spectacular surroundings, winemakers are forging new paths in sustainability and culture, including leadership by Indigenous-owned wineries.
