Before you head out to wine country—or, indeed, to the liquor store—be sure to download the new Wines of BC Explorer app, produced by the British Columbia Wine Institute. Take the taste test to define your flavour profile, then follow directions to find wines that you’ll love and the wineries that produce them. Wines are organized by type, winery or location, and the BWCI promises that every wine and winery in B.C. is represented. The app is free through Google play or the App Store. winebc.com/explorer
