If you’re the person in your friend group who always ends up planning your B.C. wine country adventures, you’ll be glad to learn that you now have help.

Wine Growers British Columbia has just revamped the WineBC.com website to become the ultimate planning tool for discovering the province’s wine regions. Designed to be a strategic tool to drive wine tourism, support local wineries and celebrate all that makes B.C.’s wine regions so remarkable, its relaunch is timed to coincide with WGBC’s “Extend Your Summer” campaign, which encourages visitors to make the most of harvest time.

Among its features are a winery finder that lists all of B.C.’s 300-plus wineries, including essential details about each and direct links to their websites for quick bookings. The website also offers regional pages that feature useful information about each, as well as curated itineraries by region.

The project was supported in part by Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan), the dedicated federal economic development agency for British Columbians.

“Every visit to B.C. is an invitation to discover the people and places that make our province unique,” Gregor Robertson, the minister responsible for PacifiCan, said in a press release. “Through PacifiCan, we are investing in a new tool that helps B.C.’s wine country attract more visitors, extend the tourism season and boost economic growth across our communities.”
