John Bishop Leads Tour with Heart

This September, Vancouver culinary legend, fabulous chef and good-hearted gentleman, John Bishop will lead a tour of Okanagan Wine Country. For three days, participants will be wined and dined while touring vineyards and engaging in leisurely meals. As part of the tour, participants have a unique opportunity to learn more about wine and winemaking from Chef Bishop's personal contacts within this fascinating world. Meeting growers, touring vineyards, talking to passionate wine-makers and dining on exquisite regional cuisine is at the heart of this tour. The best part - you have an idyllic 'stay-cation' while helping out the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon. That's right, this tour is a fundraiser. "My tour to India last year was a fundraiser for BC Women's Hospital. I am hoping that with this tour we'll be able to donate between $100 to $200 per participant to the foundation," comments Mr. Bishop.

The deluxe coach tour departs from Vancouver on September 26 and returns on September 28. Along the way you'll visit Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, Nk'Mip Cellars, See Ya Later Ranch, Quail's Gate Estate Winery, Cedar Creek Winery and Mission Hill Family Estate.
