Blossoms and wine getaway

Oh spring is in the air, out here at least. What better way to celebrate the fact we don’t live in April snow-laden Toronto than a jaunt to the Okanagan.

Isn’t that a summer place?

All the more reason to beat the crowds and go now. The cherry blossoms are starting to come out, and the sights and smells of the surrounding countryside is amazing. Summerland Waterfront Resort & Spa has a lovely package that includes a studio suite, a bottle of private label wine, a jam and syrup gift pack, and a wine tasting experience with Okanagan Crush Pad starting at $167 per night.

Blossom and wine tour

You can add a full cherry blossom and winery tour for $95 per person. I can’t think of anything I’d like more than to have someone to drive me around to wineries down blossom-lined roads. It’s an Instagram explosion right there. The Bottleneck Drive wineries tour includes visits to wineries like Thornhaven Estates, Sumac Ridge, and Sage Hills. Do phone ahead to find out which wineries will be on the tour, of course.
