Starting with the history behind the region’s wine production, this book is an intimate conversation with local wine producers—their individual stories, their most memorable creations, and where you can find their beautiful wineries.

Complete with maps and suggested wine tasting excursions, Island Wineries of British Columbia also explores the Islands’ meaderies, cideries, fruit wines, artisan distilleries and craft beers. Some of the region’s most talented chefs provide recipes that emphasize the local ingredients and suggest exquisite pairings of wine and food.
