Wines of Vancouver Island


Wine making is a recent industry on Vancouver Island. Vintners had been slow to recognise the existence of areas on the Island where the climate is highly suitable for grape growing. Since it's recent inception, wine making has been quickly proliferating on Vancouver Island, and excellent wines have resulted from a growing number of small wineries.

Self-guided winery tours of Vancouver Island are a new feature to add to the many holiday activities that Vancouver Island has to offer.


Vancouver Island Wineries


From the Comox Valley, the trail of wineries can be picked up one hour's drive south on the Inland Island Highway at Nanaimo. Continuing south for another half hour or so, the Cowichan Valley cradles the greatest concentration of wineries. Further south, the Saanich Peninsula near Victoria, and Salt Spring and Saturna in the Gulf Islands. Below are listed some of the wineries to be encountered along the route south from the Comox Valley to Victoria at the southern tip of Vancouver Island.
