The over 1000 vineyards in British Columbia are essential to producing the high quality wines that the region is known for. These vineyards provide the grapes that are necessary to make the unique and delicious wines that British Columbia and the Okanagan Valley are known for. The vineyards are planted in varying climates, soil types and elevations, which allows for a variety of flavors and styles of wines. The vineyards also provide the perfect conditions for ripening and fermenting the grapes to create the best possible wines. Without these vineyards and growers in British Columbia, the region would not be able to produce the excellent wines that it is known for.
