But it is still possible to visit the actual locale where they filmed the Netflix series. Although the fictional city is expected to occur in Northern California, all episodes have been shot in Vancouver and British Columbia.

Most scenic views from outside the Virgin River were shot at Snug Cove, Bowen Island, Burnaby, and Port Coquitlam. Other landmarks in the city, such as Jack's Bar, Doc's Clinic, and Mel's Cabin, can be found throughout the Vancouver area.

Conde Nast Traveler says "typical scenes of small towns in the region" are used to draw city maps, with the Welcome to Virgin River turning on the pioneer avenue in Agassiz. Believe it or not, Mel's shack is a real house in North Vancouver, whereas Doc's is a five-bedroom Victorian house in New Westminster.

Is Virgin River based on a book?

Specifically, it is supported by a series of books written by Robyn Carr and the first installment, called Virgin River, was published for the first time in 2007.

Virgin River is set in the beautiful small town of Virgin River, Northern California; Robyn's series follows widow Melinda "Mel" Monroe as she recovers from the loss of her husband. Each book takes over with new core characters, while the others stay in the background within the larger Virgin River community.

The famous Netflix series draws inspiration from Robyn Carr's renowned novel of the same name. Earlier, she told Entertainment Weekly that she was often asked where the town is, saying that she must remind them that it exists only in our hearts and minds.

If you haven't yet immersed yourself in the love, treachery, and dangerous moments in the successful Netflix show, you've been absent from a serious drama. Virgin River focuses on Melinda "Mel" Monroe from Los Angeles to Virgin River after her husband was lost. With her personal life tattered. Mel is responding to a job advertisement for a midwife and nurse practitioner in the city and is committed to starting over.

At first, it is not quite as she expected, as not all residents of Virgin River are deploying the welcome mat and the departure of Mel's debates. But she quickly became attracted to the local community. Jack Sheridan, a handsome bar owner, and former marine, also has a lot to do with his new bliss in Virgin River, and through the fans of the seasons have seen their relationship grow in the substance of fairy tales, only the course of true love has ever worked smoothly.

Seasons three and four of Virgin River put some obstacles in Mel and Jack's way, with the fatherhood of Mel's baby and Jack's ex-girlfriend Charmaine's pregnancy is making things a bit complicated.
