Welcome to Elk Valley Wine & U-Brew!

For almost 34 years, Elk Valley Wine & U-Brew has been a part of the Fernie community. It’s a business with a lot of history, and when we learned it might be closing, we knew we had to have a conversation.

That conversation didn’t take long.

As a hard-working local family, we saw the potential and couldn’t imagine seeing such a community staple disappear. So… we jumped in with both feet. It’s been a whirlwind, but we’re incredibly excited for this new adventure and grateful for the support we’ve already received.

One of the best parts? Sharon has stayed on with us. Her years of experience are invaluable, and she’s been patiently teaching us the ins and outs of the business. We couldn’t be more thankful to have her by our side during this transition.

Whether you’re making something for your home, a wedding, an anniversary, a family reunion, or just stocking up for the months ahead, we’re here to help. We offer a great selection of wine, beer, cider, and champagne kits, with something for beginners and seasoned brewers alike.

We’re also excited to introduce our new Canadian beer line, Tundra. We can’t wait for everyone to give it a try!

This business belongs to the community as much as it does to us, and we’d love your feedback. If there’s a product, style, or idea you’d like to see, let us know. We’re always open to suggestions and excited to grow alongside our customers.

Thank you for welcoming us into this next chapter. We hope you’ll stop by during the BBB event, say hello, ask questions, and see what’s brewing. Here’s to the next 34 years!
