Gulf Islands
The Gulf Islands wine region is located in British Columbia, Canada, and includes several islands in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the mainland. The region is known for its cool climate and unique terroir, which is influenced by the surrounding ocean and the islands' rocky soils.
The Gulf Islands region primarily grows cool-climate grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Ortega. The wines produced in this region are typically crisp, aromatic whites and light-bodied, elegant reds.
