Due to Cowichan Valley’s unique climate, the wines produced in the valley are being recognized on the world stage and beginning to stand out in a crowd.

At Cherry Point Estate Wines in Mill Bay, owner Xavier Bonilla is feeling optimistic.Last year, the winery produced 30,000 bottles of wine from grapes grown on the Bonilla family's 23-acre vineyard.

The winery produced 55,000 bottles last year, and Ingris said the pandemic is partly responsible for the business' recent growth. It's estimated that the Cowichan Valley’s wine industry has an economic spin-off in the tens of millions of dollars. That is why this month the industry will be celebrating its successes, beginning with a summer tasting party on Thursday night at Brentwood College.
