Grand Wine Tour
Southern Vancouver Island is the second-largest wine region in British Columbia. The majority of Vancouver Island‘s wineries are located in the Cowichan Valley, 35 minutes north of Victoria. 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. 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.
Enjoy a relaxing day trip touring BC’s newest and vibrant wine-growing region second only to World Renowned Napa Valley. A chauffeured limousine bus will guide you through Vancouver Island‘s most scenic countryside stopping at four of the best wineries on the island. Wine tastings along the way and a delicious 3 course gourmet lunch with wine pairing will make this an exciting and truly memorable day.
