I would love to win this contest!
I would love to spend a weekend in BC wine country!
I’m curious to know what the wineries are.
@Cliff It depends on the tour you select. They’re all listed under the Eastside, Westside, and Northern Bench links I posted. For example Westside would include Mission Hill Family Estate, Quail’s Gate… Eastside would include Summerhill Pyramid, CedarCreek… and Northern would include Gray Monk… and more! ๐
Would love to win this!

Kelowna, BC and wine! What more can one need? Thanks!

I have yet to make it to Kelowna, but I have heard amazing things about the wineries in the area and the beautiful landscape. Not to mention the heat that comes on in the summer. Accent Inns is also awesome! I’ve stayed at their Burnaby location and it was great – now to just try out the Kelowna one too ๐
Kelowna and wine, what a great combo!

I had the opportunity to go to Napa and Sonoma Valley in California and it was a wonderful experience and it would be great to Tour the Kelowna area right in our own back yard!! I came across this Trivia on Wine Utopia and I thought I would share with everyone!
Fortune โข 1934
One manโs dream to turn America into a post-prohibition wine utopia.
โThe statistics told Mr. Garrett more. In 1918 some 3,000,000 gallons of wine were imported to fill the slippers of chorus girls and the gullets of the rich. Most of the 51,000,000 gallons produced domestically was sold in bulk and drunk by the foreign-born people of the cities. Of the 159,000,000 gallons consumed in 1928 only a few thousand were imported and only 5,000,000 produced legally and domestically for refreshment while communing with the Lord. That left 154,000,000 gallons which were made illegally in cellars and legally in homes. Since the foreign-born population has not increased since 1918, it seems logical to conclude that much of the 100,000,000-gallon increase in those years was due to new habits contracted by the rank and file of the population. In other words, prohibition has done something very startling to the taste of this nation.โ
I hope I win!
its always been on my list of bc things to do is visit and wine taste
