Support Local, Sip Local: The Joy of BC Wine Advent Calendars
The holidays are all about joy, discovery, and sharing great moments — and what better way to celebrate than with a glass of local wine in hand? This year, skip the ordinary chocolate advent calendar and treat yourself (or someone special) to something truly unforgettable: a BC Wine Advent Calendar.
Each day reveals a new bottle from some of British Columbia’s most celebrated wineries, showcasing the incredible diversity of our vineyards. It’s a festive journey through BC’s terroir, one pour at a time.
Beyond the fun of unwrapping a surprise each day, buying a BC wine advent calendar is also a beautiful way to support local producers and discover small-lot or boutique producers you might never have tried otherwise. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just beginning to explore BC’s wine scene, this is the most delicious countdown to Christmas you’ll ever experience!
