Vancouver Island's maritime climate yields elegant, aromatic whites, Pinot Noir and traditional-method sparkling. The Cowichan Valley — "the warm land" — is its beating heart, with more tasting rooms clustered around Victoria's Saanich Peninsula and up in the Comox Valley. Expect lush scenery, farm-to-table food and a slower pace.
