Cowichan Wineries Society is a non-profit organization based in the beautiful and fertile Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, BC.

We are a collective of Cowichan land-based wineries promoting this multi-award winning wine region, educating locals and visitors about the history of the vineyards and the families who operate them, Cowichan’s designation as a sub-GI region, the sustainability of Cowichan wineries, the local industry and wine-making practices.

Our stories are told through the tastings and events held at our wineries, and through the annual Cowichan Valley Wine Festival.
