VanWineFest 2026: An Interview with Evan Saunders from BC’s Blasted Church Vineyards Amidst the clamour of the Vancouver International Wine Festival, I had a conversation with Evan Saunders, winemaker for Blasted Church Vineyards, to discuss the last two years vintages; one made with WA state grapes in 2024, and the latest vintage with estate BC grapes.  The 2024 Washington Intervention Following a 2023 season that already saw significantly diminished yields, 2024 arrived with even more severe winter challenges, leaving the winery’s estate crops in a state of near-total loss.

March can’t seem to decide what season it is... winter? spring? Who knows! Luckily, #ClosduSoleil Célestiale is always predictable in the best way: soft, fruit-forward, layered with berries, baking spice & savoury forest notes.

Women Staking Their Claim In BC Wine Winemaking in the past has been dominated by men around the world, but times are changing.  British Columbia is a great example.  If you've ever cracked open a bottle of BC wine, there is a high probability that it was made by a female winemaker and/or the winery is female owned. Estimates suggest about 20% of lead winemakers in the Okanagan are women, with somewhat lower percentages in other BC wine regions according to…

B.C. wineries press premiers to allow direct wine sales across the country Premiers last year signed an MOU agreeing to work toward an interprovincial free trade agreement by May

Canada's premiers signed an MOU last year to work toward allowing Canadian wineries to sell direct to consumers countrywide.

Three BC VQA wines for a perfect three-course pairing Wine and food can be a lot like love. Either opposites attract and things go “wow” or you feel warm, comfy and at home because you are both so much alike. Both can offer great harmony.

The right #foodandwine pairing can turn any dinner into something unforgettable. Currently feeling inspired by this beautiful 3-course #BCWine dinner from Lakehouse Kitchens Cooking School, featuring #ClosduSoleil Celestiale 2022 & Beef Wellington.

‘Unfair and damaging’: Winery industry across Canada pushing Alberta to drop Wine Tax - Summerland Review A coalition has come together against the tax

I thought it was "un-Canadian" to tax each other Alberta? I thought "we should be working as a team" Alberta? Should BC bend over for your pipeline while you still tax other provincial wines?

Selecting Wines and Beers for the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse 2026 Chinese (Lunar) New Year 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, starting on February 17, 2026 until February 5, 2027.  The Horse embodies enthusiasm, speed and fieriness, bringing a year focused on bold moves and exploration.  The Year of the Horse brings themes of freedom, action, and momentum, encouraging bold moves, new projects, travel, and social connection, fuelled by the Horse's energetic and independent spirit, intensified by the Fire element for passion and ambition, but requiring balance to avoid impulsiveness.
