The best are in the Okanagon. It is about a four or five hour drive but well worth it. Mission Hill's Grand Reserve Chardoonay was judged the best in the world a few years ago. I prefer a Quails Gate Gevurtztraminer or a Gehringer Bros. Pinot Auxerois but anything from the Okanagon between Keromeos and Vernon is very good.

While there's a few wineries located in and around Greater Vancouver such as The Vineyard on Bowen Island (http://www.vineyard.bc.ca), Domaine De Chaberton (http://www.domainedechaberton.com/index.htm), the real place to go IS the Okanagan Valley where there's dozens of wineries located. Think of it as BC's Napa Valley, but with a lake. <BR> <BR>These sites might be of help: <BR> <BR>http://www.okwinetours.com/ <BR>http://www.bcwine.com/ <BR>http://www.winegrowers.bc.ca/ <BR>http://www.owfs.com/

There are new Vineyards opening up in the area regularly. <BR>Of course that is the problem they are just opening and not always available for Touring. <BR>As mentioned Domaine de Chaberton is the closest/oldest operation.
