Frequently Asked Questions

Who are we?

We are a group of BC Wine lovers who could not find any place to celebrate and praise the quality and wide variety of the wines produced in British Columbia.

Why the BC Wine Appreciation Society?

The marked improvement in the BC Wine Industry during the last 2 decades has brought international recognition and a large number of quality awards to our local wine producers.
We are proud of these achievements and we want to create a venue where BC Wines can be showcased and celebrated.

What will we do?

  • Have tastings where several BC wines of the same varietals either from different wineries or of different years from the same winery can be compared and enjoyed in a relaxed but informative manner.
  • Enjoy dinners where two wines appropriate to each particular course can be tasted, compared and discussed.
  • Have fun comparing wines corked with genuine corks, plastic or screw tops… Nothing serious and ending in a blind taste challenge!
  • Arrange a lunch at or weekend visit to BC wineries: local, on Vancouver Island or the Okanagan
  • Anything else our members can suggest that promotes the ambiance of good wine and good company.
