BCGA Grower or Viticulturist of the Year

The BCGA Grower & Viticulture Awards celebrate the people whose dedication, leadership, and expertise help make British Columbia’s wine grape industry stronger.

The awards provide an opportunity to acknowledge outstanding achievements, share success stories, and recognize the growers, viticulturists, and industry champions whose contributions support the long-term success of BC’s wine grape sector.

We encourage you to submit a nomination and help us recognize the individuals who make a lasting impact on BC wine grape growing. These awards recognize those in our industry who strive to grow the very best wine grapes. These are the people responsible for each bunch that comes off the vines at harvest, and whose decisions directly guide the vineyard's daily operations.
