Our Approach

Designed as an initial two-year initiative, the task force emphasizes broad industry input through workshops, focus groups, and consultations. This process ensures everyone feels ownership of the final plan, which will serve as a clear roadmap for sustainable growth and a unified path forward for BC’s wine grape industry.

Working Groups

In summer 2025 the BC Wine Grape Industry Task formed six working groups to work on specific themes to address the primary issues facing the BC wine grape industry. The six working groups are:

These groups, consisting of between six to ten members each have been meeting on a regular basis to determine the strategic priorities and frame priority projects that will provide tangible, results for the industry. While our working group memberships are currently full, we encourage all within the industry to get involved in a working group community. This is an open group with unlimited seats for those who want to stay informed, engaged and contribute their knowledge. Community Members will receive early updates, be invited to provide feedback on draft ideas, and help guide the group’s direction through ongoing engagement.
