History: In 1931, Calona Vineyards opened as the first commercial winery in the Okanagan.

Expansion: There are now over 175 grape wineries in BC and several licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

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.

Awards: In 1994, Mission Hill Grand Reserve Chardonnay 1992 won the Avery Trophy for “Best Chardonnay Worldwide” at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London—the first major award win of the new era of BC winemaking.

Viticulture: Grapes for Icewine are harvested at -8° Celsius or lower, and often by moonlight.
