Day 39 - Kelowna, British Columbia

Kelowna is a beautiful area. The city of about 75,000 is on a huge lake surrounded by hills. The area is famous for it's many wine vineyards. We had a wonderful lunch at one of the local vineyards called Quails' Gate and then toured the vineyard and the bottling plant. It was fun to actually see how they bottle the wine. Unfortunately, this vineyard and most of the vineyards in the area don't export to the US because they are small and don't have enough production. Their wine is excellent.
