Wines of British Columbia

A burgeoning producer of premium wines, British Columbia, Canada, features five main wine growing regions: Okanagan Valley, Vancouver Island, Fraser Valley, Similkameen Valley and the Gulf Islands. Located about a four-hour drive from Vancouver in south central British Columbia, Okanagan Valley features more than 100 wineries.

In comparison to most wine regions, Canada seems a bit far north – and far too cold – to cultivate successful vineyards. But as most wine regions, Canada has pockets of grape growing climates that are slowly being discovered. For some time, wineries have used the cold winters to their advantage, producing some of the world's best ice wines. Still wines are also gaining ground as the regions explore the best varieties for the area.
