Locations play a primary role in the many seasons of Virgin River, prompting viewers to ask “Where is the TV show set?” It turns out that the answer is a bit complicated, as the show is set in one place but filmed in an entirely different location. Here’s the need-to-know info about Virgin River’s setting.
Where is Virgin River set?
Virgin River is set in North California.
The show’s North California setting might be tough to believe, especially for those who live in California, and that’s for good reason as the show isn’t actually filmed there. Instead, this is one of those shows that is set in one place and shot in another.
Where was Virgin River filmed?
Virgin River is filmed in Vancouver and the mountains surrounding it.
As revealed in a Tudum interview with the show’s location manager and scout, W. Robert Millar, the show is set in Vancouver and the surrounding mountainous terrain.
Those diehard fans who want to visit the locations showcased in Virgin River will switch their destination from California to Vancouver and head toward The Watershed Grill, which is Jack’s Bar in the show. House Rock, just south of Whistler, is another area Millar highlights.
Other popular locations in Vancouver include Lighthouse Park, Stawamus Chief, Garibaldi Lake, Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Saint Mark’s Summit, Lynn Canyon, Quarry Rock, Norvan Falls, Buntzen Lake, Dog Mountain, Stanley Park, and Mount Seymour.
As evidenced by the show, Vancouver has many beautiful environments to explore. While Northern California also has its fair share of great vistas, those hoping to relive the Virgin River experience will want to stick to Vancouver.
