The dry, hot climate of Lillooet is ideal for growing grapes. Fort Berens is a long standing local winery with a great reputation.

Wine tastings are available, with big windows showcasing beautiful views of the surrounding vineyards and steep mountain backdrop. The tasting fee is $8/person, waived with a wine bottle purchase.

If you're of fan of rich, oaky Chardonnays, you must try or buy a bottle of the White Gold. It has such a luxurious taste. Its name is a nod to Lillooet's gold rush associations.
