UBC Homecoming: UBC Minds and Wines Virtual Tasting

We’re proud of the many UBC alumni who have established themselves in BC’s wine industry. As part of this year’s UBC Homecoming celebrations, we invite you to join us as we take a virtual tasting journey through six Okanagan wines. Learn about the region’s wines from UBC alumni winery owners, and winemakers.
