COLOUR Wines of British Columbia BC VQA Fall Release Tasting
Vancouver - September 19, 2019 Vancouver Convention Centre East Ballrooms AB 999 Canada Place WELCOME
The British Columbia Wine Institute is excited to welcome you to Colour BC VQA Fall Release Tasting!
British Columbia is a very special place for wine and, thanks to a handful of hard-working visionaries, our vibrant industry has been making a name for itself nationally and internationally for the past 29 years.
In 1990, the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) standard was created to guarantee consumers they were drinking wine made from 100% BC grown grapes. Today, BC VQA Wine dominates wine sales in British Columbia, and our wines are finding their way to more places than ever before, winning over both critics and consumers internationally.
The Wines of British Columbia truly are a reflection of the land where the grapes are grown and the exceptional people who craft them. We invite you to join us to celebrate 29 years of excellence and savour all that makes the Wines of British Columbia so special.
