WELCOME TO COWICHAN
From the lush, green forests and stunning orchards to award-winning vineyards and miles of pristine coastline, there’s always something new to quench your thirst for the fresh outdoors.
Cowichan takes its name from “Quw’utsun,” the name given to the valley by its original inhabitants, the Quw’utsun people. It is rooted in the Hul’q’umi’num word “shquw’utsun” which directly translated means “to warm one’s back in the sun,” and is why our valley is, and always has been known as The Warm Land.
