We will board the van at 8:00 am on Saturday and will be whisked away to Penticton, where we will stay at the local hostel HI Penticton for 3 nights. We will make ourselves some dinner in the hostel kitchen and wander around Penticton, getting ready for the next day.
On Sunday, we will hop in the van at noon and nibble on our lunches on the way to the wineries. We will head to the north end of the Naramata Bench and work our way back to Penticton, hitting select wineries along the way. We will make a pit stop at a grocery store upon our return to Penticton, so that we can make ourselves some dinner that evening.
On Monday, you may take in Penticton in the morning or go on a short hike. We will head out in the van at noon again. Lunch will be eaten in the van once again or at one of the wineries. This time we will head south of Penticton. Monday night, we make a group dinner, possibly even involving a turkey.
Tuesday, we will load into the bus at 8 am and head back home, with boxes of wine in the back. Bring something to mark your wine as your own!
