    Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are considered BC's "other" wine region next to the famed Okanagan Valley. The southern areas of these islands comprise the warmest growing region in Canada. The territory is ideal for growing some of the world's best cool-climate grapes and yields elegant, aromatic wines reminiscent of northern Europe. No two vineyards are alike, each has its own specialties, as popular as Chardonnay or as rare as Agria.

    The region also boasts near-perfect conditions for growing premium quality cider apples. The Cowichan Valley, 45 minutes north of Victoria, mirrors the climate and soil conditions of the famous cider-growing regions of England and France.

    The 12 members of the Wine Islands Vintners Association welcome visitors to their vineyards, orchards and tasting rooms, as well as to many special events, tours, dinners and festivals offered throughout the year.
