Cowichan Valley is a fertile region on southern Vancouver Island, shaped by the Cowichan River, Cowichan Lake, and the sheltered waters of Cowichan Bay. Its mild climate and rich soils support a patchwork of farms, vineyards, and several communities, including Duncan, Chemainus, and Lake Cowichan. Situated in the territory of the Quw’utsun people, the valley is known for its cultural heritage and outdoor recreation.
