There has been an incredible response from emergency services and from the community, including wineries outside the evacuation zone that have stepped up to support evacuees and impacted winery teams.<\/p>\n<p>Wineries within the evacuation area are currently closed, and while we have received encouraging updates from members about the safety of their properties, it is too early to speculate on any losses or the potential impact on this year\u2019s harvest. What matters right now is that the Summerland wineries, their teams and the broader community are safe and supported. The BC wine community has really come together to make sure of that.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to remember that the Okanagan Valley is a large region, and this is a localized impact. Beyond the Okanagan, BC has nine distinct wine regions, many of which are not affected by the current situation. Check official sources such as DriveBC and BC Wildfire Service for current conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"1109\">Wine Growers British Columbia is closely following official emergency information and staying connected with wineries, regional partners, industry organizations and government as the situation develops.
