Canada - Wines from a natural treasure valley | Worldwide Wine Civilizations

The city of Vancouver, in the far west of Canada is the gateway to British Columbia. A gigantic state that stretches over majestic landscapes. 400 km from the Pacific Coast, beyond the snow-capped peaks and the deep volcanic canyons, lies the Okanagan valley, a land full of contrast and riches that extends along the fertile shores of a string of lakes, the biggest of which is more than 300 km long. Despite the late entry into the story of winemaking, the growers here have rapidly benefited from all the magic of this faraway place, this oasis that is unique in North America.
