Winter can wait
Greater Victoria boasts Canada’s mildest climate. In many ways it feels almost like winter gives us a pass, working more as an extension of fall and a jump start on spring. During the winter months our great outdoors remain widely accessible, our historic architecture gains a holiday glow, and teahouses, cideries, and coffee shops revel in a cozy warmth.
