TASTE_Spring2024

On April 6, BCLIQUOR will release a selection of brand new BC VQA wines in select stores across the province. Spring is the perfect time to celebrate our local wines from the beloved Okanagan Valley to Vancouver Island, Lillooet, Thompson Valley and beyond. The release is an opportunity to showcase small, family-run wineries as well as new varieties and vintages from existing, well- loved brands. The wines will be released into 137 stores with each one getting a specially curated selection depending on its size and location. Quantities are small, and wines will be available for only a limited time, so be sure to visit bcliquorstores.com for product availability and event updates. This is the perfect chance to explore all that BC VQA has to offer.
