If you love wine and great deals, the BC Wine Passport is your perfect companion for exploring British Columbia’s world-class wineries. But did you know that you can cover the cost of your passport in just three stops? That’s right—you can break even (and start saving!) with just a few tastings.

How Does It Work?

The BC Wine Passport gives you complimentary tastings at participating wineries across BC. With tasting fees typically ranging from $5 to $15 per person, the savings add up quickly. After just three winery visits, you’ll have covered the cost of the passport—and every additional stop is pure bonus!

Here’s the Math:

  • Stags Hollow: Complimentary tasting experience for four. Value: $40 (complimentary with passport!)

  • Gneiss Wines: Complimentary tasting experience for two. Value: $20 (complimentary with passport!)

  • La Stella: Complimentary tasting experience for two. Value: $20 (complimentary with passport!)

  • Total Savings: $80

  • Buy the passport for only $75 and gain access to over $1,200+ in tasting room fees.

And don’t forget—many wineries offer passport-exclusive discounts on wine purchases, so you could save even more when you bring home a bottle (or two).

More Than Just Savings – It’s an Experience!

While the savings are a huge perk, the BC Wine Passport is about more than just free tastings. It’s your invitation to:
✅ Discover hidden gems – Visit boutique wineries you might not have found otherwise.
✅ Expand your palate – Try new varietals and styles from different regions including Vancouver Island, the Similkameen, Thompson Valley and more.
✅ Enjoy VIP perks – Some wineries offer behind-the-scenes experiences just for passport holders. Burrowing Owl is offering guests a 2 for 1 semi-private Connoisseur Tasting experience ($30 value), or Unsworth Vineyards is offering a 2 for 1 vineyard tour & tasting ($25 value).

Why Stop at Three?

Since your passport is already paid off after three stops, why not keep the adventure going? Whether you visit over a weekend or stretch your tastings throughout the season, every additional winery you explore makes your passport an even better deal.
