Penticton, British Columbia—Canada’s tight-fisted liquor-import laws were among the issues organizers of the 2013 Wine Bloggers’ Conference faced in 2011, when Penticton was selected to host the event. This small Canadian city is located an hour’s drive north of Washington state, and the conference is scheduled for June 6-8. Commercial entities with agents can bring in a maximum of 45 liters for sampling, but Canada’s laws allow travelers to carry in just 1.5 liters of wine. That’s more generous than the single liter allowed by the U.S., but with higher duties for amounts over and above the basic allowance. “It took some time to figure out all of the different ways we could bring the wine in, what was the best option, so it’s been a bit of a challenge,” said Allison Markin, a Penticton-based blogger who is working with Tourism Penticton as local liaison for the conference organizers, Red Lodge, Mont.-based Zephyr Adventures and California’s Vincent Group Consulting.
