Formed in the summer of 2024, the BC Wine Grape Industry Task Force brings together 5 key industry associations (BC Wine Grape Council, Wine Growers BC, BC Grapegrowers Association, BC Wine Authority, Wine Island Growers Association), winery owners, growers and key industry stakeholders. The group was established at the request of the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food to create a collaborative, strategic approach to shaping the future of the industry.
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.
