Lulu Island Winery Richmond BC

Lulu Island Winery previously known as Blossom Winery invited me to their grand opening celebration on July 4, 2009. Their new location is 16880 Westminster Hwy., Richmond, BC. While their winery is located in Richmond their vineyards are located in the Okanagan Valley. Grapes grown in the Okanagan Valley region produce some of Canada finest wines. As you can see from their estate they have moved up into the big time. They are no longer the small mom & pop winery they were a few years ago. Their winery meets British Columbia Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) standards. The winery was started in 1991 by two immigrants from Taiwan who moved to Canada looking for an opportunity. They have built an outstand winery and have a loyal clientele. Their main fortes are the icewines. They make several varieties that are very popular in Asia. A small bottle (375ml) can cost over $100. They make a killer Gewurztraminer that I enjoy late at night after dinner.
