Trip in a Nutshell

A second trip to Peachland was this time blessed with the company of sister, signigicant other, and kitty! Friday morning we escaped the congested city and cruised through the valleys, slowly passing from rainforest to desert.




Our arrival was met with hugs and smiles and drinks on the deck in the hot afternoon sun. In the evening, another walk along the lakeshore and sampling another local resturant, followed by drinks on the deck and a peaceful sleep.

Saturday brought another day of beautiful sun and Daddy's 59th birthday! We visited first the Mission Hill Estates winery. The wine, the architecture, and the views were all amazing...








Next we visited Quail's Gate winery. Following the grandeur of Mission Hill, Quail's Gate was no less wonderful; the juxtaposition enhanced the character and quaintness.


After winetasting, we cooled off in the lake and enjoyed the afternoon breeze.






Returning home again, we enjoyed newly discovered and wonderful wine on the deck, followed by dinner, good stories and conversation on into the evening of cool blustering wind.




Sunday was the sad day that we had to go home. So back down the valleys we wound, stopping in tiny Keremeos for fresh fruit, finding old cars and tractors nestled in along the edges of an orchard.








It was, all in all, a lovely trip. Unfortunately, again, too short, but lovely just the same.
