It is a very exciting time for us. We have developed several new tours for the 2010 season and they are going great guns!!! - so..this is a pretty nice way to start our summer season.
The new"Discover the Gold in the Golden Mile" features lunch and a special tasting at Hester Creek. Kathy Mercier (of Hester Creek) gave us a great "discover your wine palate tasting" that was followed by lunch by the Dolci Deli - it was delectable.
Our guests had great comments "this is better than any wine tasting I had in Europe" and "I can't believe that this is available in the Okanagan" So it bodes well for the season this summer - I am very excited about all the new offerings this year.
Just yesterday, I completed a custom tour that incorporated the new comprehensive tasting at Black Hills Winery. WOW... this tour, which was conducted by Dan Yoja, was worth every penny, he is a very knowledgeable guide- we even had the unique opportunity of doing a barrel tasting!!! This is a great new product for Black Hills -and it was the highlight for many in our group.
Another, Great Discovery for me yesterday was the wines of Young and Wyse - Michelle Young presented thier new vintages at lunch - both the Merlot and the Shiraz were presented - I loved thier Merlot - it had great colour and aroma and worked perfectly with the Chicken and Camembert sandwich that I had chosen - I am going to work hard to find a way to incorporate this new winery into our tours - this is a great find for newcomers to the region.
Our new bus worked well - it is much nicer to be able to stand up getting on and off the bus and we have a real fridge on Board so our water and little snacks are just the perfect temperature - the speaker system also worked well yesterday - its nice to start the season with something new for our long time customers - MJ
