Celebrate the unique flavours, terroir and grape varieties that can be found only on the wine islands off the west coast. A collaborative effort from the writers of EAT Magazine, Island Wineries of British Columbia is your guide to a growing wine culture and the food movement that accompanies it. Starting with the history behind the region’s wine production, this book is an intimate conversation with local wine producers—their individual stories, their most memorable creations and where you can find their beautiful wineries.
Complete with maps and suggested wine tasting excursions, Island Wineries of British Columbia also explores the islands’ meaderies, cideries, fruit wines, artisan distilleries and craft beer. You’ll find recipes from some of the region’s most talented chefs, including offerings from Café Brio, Camille’s, the Sooke Harbour House and Stage Wine Bar; each recipe has an emphasis on local ingredients and provides exquisite pairings of wine and food.
Dedicated to profiling the young but successful island wine industry, this book will help you to discover the fresh philosophy that infuses the exciting wine and food culture of the west coast.
