Shopping in the Vancouver Island region is a gastronomic delight. The island is dotted with farms producing fresh and delicious meats, cheeses, vegetables and fruits. The area is also home to the second largest wine-producing region in BC. Of course, good food isn't the only thing you'll find here: local artists and artisans send a steady stream of one-of-a-kind carvings, paintings, pottery and crafts to shops, galleries and markets. Don't forget to check out Coombs Old Country Market for its fine local produce, exotic gifts, gourmet food products, first-class deli - and goats on the roof!
