We had booked a wine tour for the day and had time for a leisurely start as they were not picking us up until 10.30 but Linda spent most of the free time on the phone to the bank because they had stopped her credit card - can't really complain since we had forgotten to tell them we were travelling, although not sure why it had taken them a week to react.
We started our tastings at 10.30 and in company with Dino - our guide who was a retired hockey pro and head teacher who was a great guide if somewhat annoying particularly when he compared one of the rose wines to the colour of Linda's hair - and two Canadian ladies of a certain age - one of whom worked for PWC while the other was an Professor at a Vancouver college we managed 5 different wineries through the day along with a lunch stop at one of the them. Think there were at least 20 different wines - some were very good while others were not to our taste - however the wineries were all in fairly stunning locations and occasionally had some impressive artwork as well.
We made it back to Quidni in the late afternoon with time to relax before dropping in to the winery to taste their wines as well. Met a couple of other guests - a pair of forty-something newly weds and ended up sharing a pizza order and a few glasses of wine with them on the deck in the evening sunshine because it had been another long day and driving anywhere was definitely not an option.
