SUMMARY:Chamber on Tour: Rocky Creek\, Blue Grouse & Venturi Shulze\, Cheers Cowichan Tours
DESCRIPTION:Joins us for a micro wine tour starting with Rocky Creek Winery - this family run operations boasts dozens of awards including multiple recognition for their Wild Blackberry. Rocky Creek was Canada's first home-based winery before expanding to their current 10 acre estate.\n\n\n\nThen we'll go a little south and a little west to Blue Grouse Estate Winery & Vineyard. Initially the site tested more than 130 types of grape vines for their viability on Vancouver Island. The Brunner family purchased Blue Grouse in 2012 - their Blue Grouse Estate wines use exclusively grapes from their own vineyards while their Quill wines other "best-of" BC grown grapes.\n\n\n\nOur last stop is Venturi Shulze Vineyards where members will enjoy a tour\, wine tasting and we'll sample Venturi Shulze's famous and very special Balsamic Vinegar. The Venturi Shulze vineyard was founded in 1988 and is "beyond organic" - grown with eco-friendly\, pesticide-free\, certified methods - some pioneered by the owners themselves.\n\n\n\nThat's a fair bit of travelling\, so we asked Cheers Cowichan Tours take of the driving for this "micro" winery tour. There are 17 seats on the bus ... available on a first come\, first served basis. We meet a the Visitor Centre at 10:30 am and the bus leaves promptly at 10:40 am. Contact the office to reserve your spot on the bus!\n\n \nThank you to Rocky Creek Winery\, Blue Grouse Estate Winery\,  Venturi Shulze Vineyards & Cheers Cowichan Tours for hosting Chamber on Tour!
