Jennifer BasgorenayVancouver Island Road Trip

Known as Canada’s “Provence,” the Cowichan Valley is all rolling vineyards, farm markets, and forested rivers. Visit local wineries, sample cheese from small farms, and explore charming villages like Cowichan Bay and Maple Bay.

Trails weave through rainforest and farmland, offering hikes, lakes, and cozy roadside cafés.

The valley’s rich Indigenous and farming roots give it a grounded, creative energy. This is where the wonderful ladies knit the world-famous Cowichan Sweaters.
