Island Vineyards
Southern Vancouver Island is the second-largest wine
region in British Columbia, after the Okanagan Valley.
The majority of Vancouver Island's wineries and its
lone cidery are located in the Cowichan Valley, 45 minutes
north of Victoria.
The Cowichan Valley means the "warm land" in its native
tongue and the vineyards located here enjoy a unique
location with ideal growing conditions on southern,
sun-drenched slopes. Vancouver Island's coastal climate
is mild, by comparison to other major wine growing regions
in North America, yet well-suited to growing grapes.
Vancouver Island winemakers welcome you to their tasting
rooms and encourage you to sample the fruits of their
labour. Choose from a wide selection of premium white
and red wines. Island wines tend to be crisp and fruity
and many are award-winning. Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir,
Chardonnay, Merlot, Gewurztraminer, Mueller-Thrugau
and Ortega are some of the traditional and unique wines
made by Vancouver Island vintners. You can buy a bottle
direct from the winery or find the wines at many fine
dining establishments around Vancouver Island.
The scenery surrounding Vancouver Island's vineyards
is as delicious as the wine. Rolling pastures framed
by ocean and mountain views make a tour of the wineries
a must for any wine enthusiast. Pick up a map and venture
on a self-guided tour or join a guided driving or cycling
tour. Stop for lunch on the veranda of one of the wineries
or stay overnight at British Columbia's first winery
bed and breakfast.
