Wine Festival Continues....

We refuse to accept that the 2008 Okanagan Wine Festival is over so.... we just kept "fest"ing anyway!

This weekend, we headed Shaggy back down south, this time to a little campground on Vaseux Lake --- right beside a wildlife sanctuary and ... a whole bunch of wineries!
Photo above is taken on the lawns below Noble Ridge Winery, which is perched in the hills above Vaseux Lake.

Above photo was taken as we biked (all uphill!) to the four wineries in the hills right above our campsite.


We fell head over heels for Tangled Vines "Tickled Pink" rose .... taste explosion!


We also biked the KVR trails from OK Falls, through Kaleden, all along Skaha Lake. Above is a picture of one of the many historic buildings in Kaleden .... must go back there for dinner soon!

There's a gorgeous resort in Kaleden --- Ponderosa Point Resort --- run by such nice people. The owner of Ponderosa stopped to warn us that he'd just chased two grizzly bears out of his resort (the KVR rides through it).
We weren't exactly thrilled with the idea of biking alongside grizzlies.... so Ponderosa owner let us pile our bikes into his truck and he drove us past the bears! (no bear pictures... sorry ... but, then again, I'm not really sorry!)

We ended the day with a picnic in OK Falls and one last glass of their local nectar-of-the-gods! We might extend "Wine Festival" a little more this year and head to South Okanagan Provincial Campground for another bike-wine tour .... soon!
