Experience the best of local and luxury at Vancouver Duty Free – now open at YVR!

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is proud to unveil the new Vancouver Duty Free, a reimagined shopping destination offering an elevated and exclusive experience that blends global luxury brands with local favourites. Spanning over 2,800 square metres (30,500 square feet) in the international terminal, the newly redesigned stores reflect the natural beauty and strong sense of place of British Columbia while showcasing a carefully curated selection of products across beauty, liquor, and wellness. 

YVR is always looking to bring the very best of B.C. to the airport including more local and authentic food, beverage, and retail options to passengers, reflecting the vibrancy and diversity that defines British Columbia. Vancouver Duty Free is a shining example of this commitment, showcasing the region's finest goods beside the highest quality international brands. 

For those seeking a taste of B.C., Vancouver Duty Free showcases an impressive selection of local wines and spirits from renowned producers such as Mission Hill, Mt. Boucherie, Phantom Creek, and Sheringham Distillery, with more exciting partnerships on the horizon. Empress Gin, which achieved record-breaking sales across Canada in 2024, underscores the demand for high-quality, local products. 

Travellers can also explore the mind.body.soul. shop-in-shop, dedicated to Canadian-made wellness products. From REYAL’s performance-driven men’s skincare, crafted in Vancouver, to NENA Skincare’s mineral-rich glacial clay products sourced from Northern B.C., and Provence en Couleur’s luxurious handcrafted items from Granville Island, this space celebrates sustainable choices and mindful living. 

To complement this extensive selection of local products, YVR also now offers the most desired luxury brands, curating an exciting shopping experience for travelers. YVR is the first airport in North America to carry luxury makeup from Charlotte Tilbury and fragrance brands Byredo and Penhaligon’s are exclusive to the new Haute Parfumerie. Vancouver Duty Free will also carry unique offerings from NARS, Valentino, Prada Beauty, Jo Malone, Marc Jacobs, L’Occitane, Coty, L’Oreal, Estée Lauder, and more. 

Vancouver Duty Free and Haute Parfumerie at YVR are operated by Dufry, an Avolta company, and serve as its North American flagship duty free operations with the most extensive brand and merchandise offering.
