| It’s the annual BC Wine gathering designed to showcase many of the wines from all the regions in BC.
Wine Growers of BC named it Swirl Around BC Wine Expo 2025.
60 wineries from across the province were all set up to welcome everyone attending.
Winemakers, proprietors and industry leaders.
We all came to reconnect with each other and discover the best of what BC’s wine community has to offer.
As always, I couldn’t interview everyone, but thanks to Kelly Josephson from Wine BC, I was able to do 15 in total. Great wrangling. Thank you, Kelly.
There were two walk-around tastings plus timely, intimate and thought-provoking seminars designed for trade and media professionals.
Just a note: The seminar interview that we did last week was so vital to the future of BC wine that we’ve decided to finish this special feature with a replay.
Check out the guests in that segment (below).
