Description

Cruise the Salish Sea’s beautiful islands during the harvest month. On this wine-tasting and culinary cruise, you’ll explore the breadth of British Columbia’s wine, from bright pinot gris to spicy meritage and luscious ice wine.

You’ll explore ashore at island wineries and in the natural world that inspires the lifestyle on the BC coast — wild beaches, woodlands and historic farmsteads. Your chef will pair meals to the day’s wines, often featuring local specialties from land and sea.

Along the way, your sommelier guides will bring you in touch with the history and culture of winemaking and artisanal food in this province rich in mountains, farmland, and ocean.

We’re hand-picking each itinerary element, and the full day-by-day plan will be available later in 2018.
