The van slides out of Vancouver and the city’s glass and steel give way to hedgerows and low, working farmland. In the space between the skyline and the mountains, vineyards spread across river flats, vines leaning into the coastal light as the guide navigates country roads toward tasting rooms.

History
The Fraser Valley’s modern wine industry grew rapidly in recent decades as VQA certification and cool-climate techniques expanded plantings on fertile river flats historically used for dairy and berries.
Conservation
Wineries here emphasize sustainable practices—look for vineyards using integrated pest management and reduced-spray protocols; pack out any trash and support farm-to-table producers to minimize footprint.

Carry valid government ID
All tasting rooms require photo ID (21 in the U.S., 19 in BC); bring it to avoid being turned away from samples or purchases.
Plan transport after tasting
Although the tour includes a driver, if you plan to buy bottles, confirm how you’ll transport them—wineries in BC often can’t ship to the U.S.
Dress in layers
Coastal weather can shift between sun and drizzle; a light, waterproof layer keeps you comfortable during outdoor vineyard visits.
Pace tastings and hydrate
