Christmas on the Vine: Where Was it Filmed?
You wouldn’t be wrong if you feel the Canadian landscape brings this film to life. After all, it is one of the most popular destinations for tourists looking for a perfect winter holiday. Here is what we know about the specific filming locations!
Whistler, British Columbia
‘Christmas on the Vine’ was filmed in Whistler, British Columbia. The film production wrapped up just in time before the pandemic hit. Jon Cor (who plays Tyler) enjoyed filming outdoors since he likes working in challenging environments and the cold mountain air. Whistler is known for its ski resorts, the biggest one being the Whistler Blackcomb.
It is not the first time the small town has been featured on the big screen. Some of the famous productions shot here include ‘Fifty Shades Freed,’ ‘Snowcoming,’ and ‘A Christmas to Remember.’
Abbotsford, British Columbia
Some scenes were also filmed at Abbotsford, located an hour east of Vancouver. The film revolves around Tyler’s winery, which in fact, is not a film set but the Seaside Pearl Farmgate Winery on 5290 Olund Road, Abbotsford. This family-owned winery in Mount Lehman is the gateway to the Fraser Valley Wine Country. Mount Lehman is a serene rural community known for its wineries, estate homes, and busy farms.
