We're planning a winery tour of the Okanagan Valley for the weekend of July 26th and July 27th. There are lots of fun highway between here and there. Saturday night in Kelowna, and most of the day on Sunday touring the wineries in the region before heading home. We can take the Coquihalla Hwy (5) on the way back.


When: weekend of July 26th and July 27th (suggest another weekend if you cannot make it)
Tentative iternary:
- Meet Saturday morning for breakfast and wait till everyone arrive
- A slow and fun 5-6hrs drive up to Kelowna via the twisties Manning Park Hwy (3) (lunch on the way)
- Check into the hotel. We'll need Monkei's help with finding and organizing the hotel booking.
- Rest and free time for everyone
- Dinner and a short drive around town
- Sunday morning call, breakfast
- Wine tasting day

Here's a list of potential wineries:
Mission Hill
Summerhill Estate (possible lunch location)
Quails' Gate Estate
Sumac Ridge Estate
Thornhaven Estates (possible lunch location)

foooorrreeee

We could bring our golf clubs. I'm sure they have some nice course up there.

BTW, I totally forgot the Vancouver Indy is on the same weekend. We can always go another weekend as long as it works for everyone.

Hmmm... can you fit a golf bag and overnight bags for two in an S2000? I know, Cong can bring his CRV and act as a luggage truck

Mel and I would be in for this.

I think 1 set of golf clubs and bag plus necessities for 2 to stay over night in Kewlona will fit in our car. At least I was able to fit it to Whistler last year.
