The Scenic Sip

Our game plan was to tour eight wineries on 'The Scenic Sip Tour' which is in Lake Country between Vernon and Kelowna, but we were in no rush so we actually just made it to four. 

The Chase Wines

The first winery we stopped at was Chase Wines, the fellow hosting there was very informative so we spent some time there talking with him and tasting wine.  It's the newest on the tour, they've only been in business for three months.  The owner is a retired gentleman of 71 years of age who had always wanted to open a winery - thus the name 'Chase', he says 'It's never too late to chase your dream!'

Intrigue Wines

This winery has been operating for nine years, it's owners live in a house on the hill just up in behind.  It turned out that the young woman behind the counter here actually grew up in Mission and went to Heritage Park High School when it first opened.  

Gray Monk Estate Winery

Beautiful view from the deck that opens up off of the wine tasting room.

The grapes are ready for harvesting and pressing now that it's September.

Arrowleaf Cellars

We managed to choose another three bottles of wine from the Arrowleaf Cellars to add to our collection today, this was our last stop and it too had an amazing view of the lake.  We may be back to do the last four wineries around here before we leave for home on Friday, we definitely enjoyed these ones.
