Parksville Uncorked

It all began one warm evening on the patio at The Beach Club Resort in Parksville. One lovely bottle of red VQA wine turned into two bottles and an idea was inspired. Shawna Broekhuizen, General Manager of The Beach Club Resort, had to share this amazing view, and the remarkable wines of Vancouver Island and British Columbia with as many people as possible.
