VQA stands for the Vintners Quality Alliance, the independent body that monitors BC's appellation of origin system. British Columbia Wine Authority is the provincial governments’ official regulator, authorized to respectively oversee and enforce BC VQA regulations and standards.

All wine-producing countries have standards for their best grape-growing regions. In BC, always look for VQA on the label to be sure a wine is made with 100% BC grapes.

Rave Reviews

  • The wines are absolutely fabulous – there wasn't one we didn't like. We stayed and had a cheese and charcuterie platter which was also exceptional. Highly recommend coming for a tasting and a nosh. Very good!
