Wine Country Writers’ Festival is a creative gathering for emerging and established writers and the audiences who love them. It’s a place to grow your craft, connect with lovers of literature, build genuine community, and experience the magic of storytelling in one of Canada’s most scenic regions.

We offer an approachable, high-quality festival experience—where literary connection meets wine-country charm, and everyone leaves feeling seen, energized, and inspired.

Founded in 2021, WCWF takes place each year in Penticton, BC and would like to acknowledge that the festival is held on the traditional, unceded, ancestral, territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) Nation.
