Are you interested in exploring the fastest growing wine region in North America?  The Wine Islands Passport was created to provide a self-guided wine tour around Vancouver Island and the surrounding Islands.

The Wine Islands Passport also acts as your entry into a draw, which closes September 30, 2010.  However, the Passport can still be used as an excellent self-guided tour helping you explore all of the delicious tastes Vancouver Island and the Islands have to offer.

The Wine Islands Passport is available for download on the wineislands.ca website and can be picked up at any participating winery.
