Light whites and romantic rosés at The Woodhouse Wine Estates.

It’s been described as “off the beaten track” and “under the radar,” but I’ve been a fan of Woodhouse Wine Estates’ silky whites and robust reds for the last five years, since I first tasted their 2002 Maghee “Big Boy” Merlot. (Seriously, how can you not like a wine called “Big Boy?”)

Located in the heart of the Cascades, this BC resort has something for everyone.

Just so we’re clear, Whistler-Blackcomb isn’t the only resort you can visit in British Columbia. Manning Park Resort, tucked away in the mountains near the town of Hope, has plenty of outdoor summer fun for the traveler who wishes to visit the beautiful province to the north — and, perhaps, bask in a more low-key setting than Whistler Village provides.
