Air Park

Reviewed By T8386HFmichellep

This is an amazing park to go visit with your family and friends of all ages! It's A serene calm place to go for a nice walk , bike ride, or even roller blade. There is a wonderful little cafe in the beginning of the park that has small snacks to eat coffee and ice cream. Watching all of the small planes, single engine mostly karma coming in to land and taking off is lots of fun and makes for great conversation. I would highly recommend coming to the Courtenat Air Park any time of year and you're guaranteed to see lots of migratory birds and the Trumpetor swans are just beautiful!

Definitely great beach to stop at. The entrance builds anticipation as you can see the blue sky and you know there's a beach at the end! Great view. Great for families, couples, campers and day trippers. Stay for a few days or a few minutes, it's always a great stop.

Tribune Bay has an incredible long beach which goes out for a long way when the tide is out - a lovely place for tide pooling I would think. Great for families.

40 Knots Winery

In the heart of the Comox Valley, on a slope facing the Georgia Strait, 40 Knots Vineyard & Estate Winery crafts wines distinctly shaped by a windswept, sun-soaked microclimate. Named for the gale force winds that often strike the coast, 40 Knots embraces its unique microclimate, adorning its label with swallows that frequent the vineyard and depict home to a sailor. With wines like Whitecaps, Sea Haven, and Spindrift, the connection to the wind and sea is undeniable. 40 Knots was first established in 2005, by a retired Tug Boat Captain who hand planted over 50,000 vines on glacier till soil in a micro-climate hotter than its surrounding area and facing the Salish Sea. Root stock was brought in from the Champagne and Cote D'Beaune regions of France of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gamay Noir. Additionally hybrids such as the French Pinot Auxerrois and German Siegerrebe and Schoenberger were planted. Owners Brenda Hetman-Craig, and Layne Robert Craig continue to nurture this terroir with environmentally ethical farming practices. 40 Knots employs the creative, innovative and esteemed Chief Wine Maker Matt Dumayne of Okanagan Crush pad. 40 Knots welcomes visitors to come and taste their wines in their cellar tasting lounge, tour the vineyard and cellar and picnic in the beautiful vineyard terrace.

My husband and I had a wonderful Premium Tasting with Jenn. We loved learning about the history of the Winery, as well as the types of varietals grown there and were in awe of its unique and beautiful location. The four wines that we tasted were all enjoyable.... so much so I came home with a few bottles and a few jars of pickled grapes. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience- we will be back again. Cheers from the Interior of BC. Alan & Shirley Boon

This "seaside park" is located between Comox's "Goose Spit Park" and the Marina. The nine (9) acres of gardens features: a 1930 vintage "Heritage Lodge", many varieties of flowers and trees, bushes, roses and "creative driftwood sculptures", restaurant [with limited hours] a gift shop and benches to contemplate the beauty as well as the marvellous and meticulous work done by the many volunteers! On a sunny day it is "sheer magic"... and well worthy of a visit! I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Beautiful park close to Comox, easy walk through beautiful forest down to the river where there is a beautiful falls. Enjoyed watching the salmon trying to swim up the falls - mid October - while sitting on the rocks. Trail us easy, flat and just a few steps down onto the relatively smooth rocks by the falls.
