Discover BC’s Wine Regions

Discover BC’s Wine Regions in 24 Private Liquor Stores this November

 

Harvest time is wrapping up for what many claim is BC’s best vintage ever. Discover BC’s diverse wine producing regions in select private wine stores across the province this November and see how far we’ve come.

Each private liquor store has its own style when it comes to the selection of wines on their shelves and this month 24 liquor stores around the province – from Bowen Island to Langley, from Penticton to Vernon – are raising the provincial flag by featuring BC VQA – 100% BC wine within their stores.

Each store has selected a minimum of six BC VQA wines to feature during the month of November, treating consumers to a minimum of two in-store tastings from an array of award-winning BC wines at each location – that’s over 48 free wine tastings throughout BC!

In addition, customers will also be given a chance to win a multi-region wine tour worth over $5,600, simply by enjoying BC VQA wine with food. To enter the contest, they need to share a photo of their wine-pairing on either Instagram or Twitter, with the hashtag #BCVQAPourandPair. Full contest details can be seen in-stores or at www.WineBC.com.

Taste the diversity of our province’s dynamic wine culture through your favourite private liquor store this November, and enter to WIN the wine tour of your dreams with #BCVQAPourAndPair.
