👍👍 An absolute MUST visit on your trip to the Island or Cowichan Valley area. We tried the wine at a restaurant on the island & immediately began looking up the location of the vineyard. Well worth the stop in. We tasted all available wines & the story of how the winery came to be is awesome :) 10/10 w...

Eves Provincial Park
State park
👍👍 Eves Provincial Park is a hidden little gem off Westholme Road in the Cowichan Valley. It is a serene little park that offers a little bit of everything that this region has to offer in the forest.
I like coming here as it is always quiet and very few visitors. The trails don’t take long to walk ar...

Waterwheel Park
Memorial park
👍 The cherry blossom trees were gorgeous!! So was the water wheel! However, it's not much of a park more of a sit down place in the middle of a small town. The shops and museum were all closed due to covid.

Averill Creek Vineyard
Winery
👍👍 This is the first winery we tried, and they ruined it for the rest of them, for many reasons. Lovely tasting room, staff were very knowledgeable and seemed genuinely happy to talk shop, but mostly, the quality of the wines impressed us immensely. We decided to visit here after trying their sparkling...
