A couple of summers ago I took the opportunity to drive around the wine district in the interior of BC (an area I hadn't visited in over 10 years). I stopped at Spirit Ridge, Burrowing Owl, and a few other establishments (for drinks and food and sightseeing) and was impressed beyond measure. And this was coming off a recent tour of the Champagne district in France. True, France has had a significant head start (and it was wonderful and exciting and to die for) but the wine trail in BC, in my view, was more than equal, in its own way, to France. Well worth the visit. In fact,  stop everything and go - you will love it.
