Giftbox of the top BC wines |
I have a holiday gift for you, a case of the top wines in B.C.
It’s a question I am asked time and again, ‘What’s the best wine? For your festive treat, I’ve turned to the judges of the 2025 Trends Top BC Wine Awards to do the sipping to answer that. This special selection of wines is curated from across the competition's wine categories, a collection of 12 wines awarded the highest scores.
As a bonus, because the competition draws entries from across the region, you’re getting some real gems shaped by distinct climats (that’s my new favourite French term for unique vineyard sites). In short: a climat is a specific place, with a specific personality, expressed in the glass.
Competition entries span the Fraser, Thompson, Okanagan and Similkameen valleys and include producers of every scale—commercial, estate, small startups, iconic names, and new entrants and emerging brands.
