Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13, 2009
This will be our 4th annual bus tour! We're taking a fun group of 24 people on an interesting and tasty tour of the best that the South Okanagan has to offer. We'll be eating at great restaurants, and tasting wines all over the Oliver/Osoyoos area.
Hurry and reserve your seat(s) now! This year we're focusing on the Black Sage Bench and Golden Mile areas. Highlights will include lunches at Burrowing Owl Winery and Quinta Ferriera Winery, and a fabulous private tour, tasting, and dinner at the stunning Nk'Mip Winery.
Our muster point will be at the Cactus Tree Inn, Oliver. Rooms are tentatively booked at the Cactus Tree Inn until August 15. Rooms are $79/single, $89/double. Some have kitchenettes. An outdoor barbecue and a pool are available.
E-mail info@cactustreeinn.com or phone 1-250-498-2225 to make your reservations. Please note that we are not including accommodation in the price this year, as there are so many people who perfer to make alternative arrangements. Members are responsible for booking their own accommodations. As always, we suggest that you stay the Sunday night as well rather than making the drive back to Vancouver after a day of wine tasting.

Wild Goose was voted 2009 Winery of the Year by Wine Press Northwest, out of a field of over 1400 wineries – truly an honour. Other recent awards include: the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in British Columbia Wines for the 2008 Pinot Gris, the only "Winery of Distinction" award from the Northwest Wine Summit wine competition held in Oregon, three golds from the Okanagan Wine Festival competition for their Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Autumn Gold – and that’s just this year! This December 3rd, Roland Kruger will be visiting the BCWAS for our annual Holiday Event. This will be a fun, friendly, walk-about event, where you will have the chance to visit with your fellow BC wine lovers, taste some great wine, enjoy some yummy food, and get a chance to talk to Roland. The chefs at the Listel are providing a great selection of appies for us. Wines poured will include: 2008 Pinot Gris And … we’ve managed to make this event cheaper than last year! Date: Thursday December 3, 2009 Time: 7:30-9:30 Place: Listel Hotel Price: $65 members / $80 guests As always, guests can join the BCWAS on the night of the event, and we’ll put the price difference towards your membership, which is good until March of 2010. *****SOLD OUT***** British Columbia Wine Appreciation Society Christmas Poem by R.W.G.
