What Is Driftwood and Wine?

Driftwood and Wine is your curated guide to the unhurried lifestyle of Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Valley. Published from the heart of Water Wind & Sun’s vacation retreat in Cobble Hill, this blog is about reconnecting with nature, with community, and with the quiet joy of everyday adventure.

Whether you’re sipping a small-batch Merlot in a tucked-away vineyard, walking a seaside trail, or planning a stay in a rustic hideaway, Driftwood and Wine is here to inspire your next experience.
