Harvest Celebration: The Best of the Bus Tour

8/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Come join us on Friday, October 7th for a casual, festival-style Harvest Celebration, featuring the Best of the Bus Tour!
Picture
Our morning visit to Hugging Tree in the Similkameen kicked off the bus tour at the same time a minor earthquake hit the region!
If it’s warm enough, we’ll open the patio doors, and we can toast our beautiful waterfront view with some of the best of the Okanagan and Similkameen harvests. Even better – it’s a Friday night, so you don’t have to get up early the next day!

Your hard-working Executive Team tried lots and lots of wines on this month's bus tour – we might even have tried some of them more than once! (I know – it’s a terrible job.) We’ve chosen a great selection for you to enjoy, a fun mix of BC’s finest bubbles, whites, pinks, and reds – and here they are:

Orofino 2015 Moscato Frizzante
River Stone 2015 Pinot Gris
Quinta Ferreira 2014 Oaked Chardonnay
Clos du Soleil 2015 Rosé
Eau Vivre 2014 Pinot Noir
Stoneboat 2013 "Rock Opera" Pinotage
Church & State 2014 "Signature Series" Syrah
C.C. Jentsch 2013 Syrah
Hugging Tree 2014 "Telltale" red blend
Corcelettes 2014 "Menhir" red blend
Quinta Ferreira 2010 "Obra Prima" red blend
Forbidden Fruit 2014 "Caught" Apricot Mistelle fortified dessert wine

For food, we’ll be providing a selection of platters of cheeses and meats from Les Amis du Fromage – I’m hungry already!
Date:  Friday, October 7, 2016
Time: 7:30-9:30pm
Place: De Dutch Pannekoek House, Vancouver Convention Centre West, located in the western corner, lower (seawall) level, near the Olympic Torch.
 
Directions (transit): It’s a short walk from both Burrard and Waterfront Stations. From Burrard Station: walk down (north) on Burrard to the new Convention Centre. From Waterfront Station: walk west to the new Convention Centre. You can either walk west along Waterfront Rd to the Olympic Torch, then go across the plaza towards the water and down the stairs, or, follow the seawall along in front of the Convention Centre until you come to the restaurant.
Directions (driving): 
You can park under the Convention Centre West. Follow the signs for the seaplane terminal. Use the doors closest to the Tap & Barrel. Parking can be expensive, though. You may be able to find cheaper parking a few blocks away. As always, we recommend that you take transit, and we will provide you with a free ticket home.
