With Liis relocating from Vancouver, BC, to Seattle soon, we decided to visit wineries and some of Liis' friends in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. We rented a car in Vancouver and a couple of hours later checked into the Spirit Lodge Resort and Spa, then had dinner at the resort's Passa Tempo Restaurant.

The next day, we begin our vineyard tour at the Quails' Gate winery.
Next was the spectacular Mission Hill Winery.
The winery's Chagall Room features a Marc Chagall tapestry
Then, we visited the Sumac Ridge winery.
Next was the Dirty Laundry vineyard. There is a story behind this winery's unusual name.
We closed out our first day of vineyard touring at Joie Wines and Farm Cooking School. Liis is a sommelier, as are Michael Dinn and Heidi Noble, Joie proprietors. Liis knew both of them in Vancouver, before they moved to the Okanagan Valley.
