Very COVID protected. Wines fit the long term standard of Gray Monk. Disappointing but understandable that family winery has sold out to a major company in Pellar. Still one of the good large volume wineries and has a great restaurant

Surpised to find so much at this unassuming little park. There's a lovely walk along the water, beach, playground, picnic area, large gazebo, washrooms, and huge weeping willow trees for shade. The location on a peninsula leaves you feeling like you're on an island, a quiet oasis to enjoy nature. Lovely!

This small winery ( 50 th Parallel Estates) in lake Country BC has one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. I am not an expert but I do know what is great and the meal we had today was great! Awesome service, delectable oysters, fabulous crab cakes, and at the risk of sounding small world the best ever carrot cake dessert , ever, pretty sure it was chef made vanilla ice cream. In house ketchup and hot sauce and horse radish. You need to eat here! Go at happy hour and try things out!

Hot day, wonderful relaxing atmosphere and wood fired pizza. Staff were busy but helpful. One of the best wood fired pizzas I've had. This place has figured out how to create a perfect small winery destination experience. A hidden gem, highly recommend.
