About this Trip

Discover one of Vancouver Island’s best-kept secrets – it’s burgeoning wine scene – with an overnight getaway to Victoria and a wine tasting tour of Cowichan Valley!

With a local wine expert as your personal guide, you will travel the scenic back roads of the Cowichan Valley as you make your way to three boutique wineries. Enjoy an artisanal picnic lunch at one of the vineyards, chat with the local wine makers and then enjoy time to shop and explore the picturesque village of Cowichan Bay.

Hop on the sleek Victoria Clipper fast ferry for a short and scenic ride away from Seattle’s Pier 69 through the Salish Sea to the heart of downtown Victoria. Spend the day exploring the historic city of Victoria or pamper yourself with luxurious spa treatments.

Cap off your day with a feast of farm-to-table eats or spend the night on the town and indulge in late-night cocktails. For more ways to fill your day, check out a few of our favorite activities:
