Growing Regions: There are five main DVAs (Designated Viticultural Areas) in British Columbia—the Okanagan Valley, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, the Fraser Valley and the Similkameen Valley.

Botrytis: A fungus that attacks grape skins. In favourable conditions, it dehydrates grapes, allowing the production of intense dessert wines.*

Acidity: This natural tartness in grapes and other fruits contributes to vibrant flavours.*

Vinifera: A species of grape–Vitis Vinifera–that produces the classic wine grapes that have spread from the vineyards of Europe.*

Sales: British Columbia VQA wine sales have doubled in the last six years to more than $155 million annually.
