Crown & Thieves | Complimentary wine tasting for two (Value: $30)
Summer in British Columbia is made for wine tasting—sunny patios, vineyard views, and discovering new favourite bottles along the way. But with hundreds of wineries spread across regions like the Okanagan Valley, Similkameen Valley, and beyond, planning where to go can feel overwhelming. That’s where the BC Wine Passport comes in.
What Is the BC Wine Passport?
The BC Wine Passport is a curated tasting program designed to make exploring BC wine country easier, more affordable, and more fun. It gives wine lovers access to 145 complimentary tastings and exclusive offers at wineries, cideries, breweries, and distilleries across the province.
Think of it as your guide and savings tool in one—helping you discover new places while reducing the cost of tastings. The passport has over $1,800 in tasting fee value!
Why It’s Perfect for Summer
Wine tasting season peaks in the summer months, when vineyards are lush and tasting rooms are buzzing. A wine passport enhances that experience by:
Encouraging you to visit new wineries you might not have considered
Helping you plan your route with a curated list of stops for each region
Making spontaneous tastings more accessible without worrying about fees
With over 300 wineries in BC, having a guide can take the guesswork out of your trip and turn it into a true wine adventure.
The Value Adds Up Quickly
One of the biggest reasons people purchase a passport is the value. Tasting fees at wineries have been increasing, and many are no longer waived with bottle purchases. The passport helps offset those costs by offering complimentary or discounted tastings, allowing you to explore more while spending less.
In fact, many users find they can recoup the cost of the passport in just a few visits—making it a practical choice for anyone planning multiple tastings.
Discover Hidden Gems
Beyond the savings, the real magic of the BC Wine Passport is discovery. It introduces you to:
Boutique wineries and small producers
Regions and tasting rooms you may not have visited before
The BC Wine Passport is designed to break down barriers and make wine more approachable, helping both beginners and experienced wine lovers explore with confidence!
Support Local Wineries
Every visit made with a passport helps support BC’s wine industry. By bringing more guests into tasting rooms, the program encourages people to connect with local producers—and purchase wine directly from them in the tasting room.
