Hello all,
I thought I would share a lovely adventure I went on with some of my colleagues (people/friends you work with) a couple of weekends ago.
One of my friends discovered a vineyard close to Montreal . It sounded like a great idea and indeed it was. I am very happy that I decided to go. We started the day early and drove to the vineyard which was about 1 hour away from Montreal . The vineyard is called Vignoble La Bauge and it was beautiful. It is a family business and they make about 25 000 bottles a year of different types of wine. The tour began with a short history of wine making in Canada (specifically Quebec ) and how the family got into the business of wine. We then went and picked grapes for the rest of the morning. It was very nice, there were a lot of grapes on the vines and it was a beautiful fall day to be out in the country. We had a nice lunch with some delicious wine from the vineyard. In the afternoon we got a tour of the whole farm, which included some exotic animals, as well as an explanation of how to make wine from beginning to end.

An interesting feature of the whole experience was that the grapes we picked will be made into wine that we can get a bottle of next year when it is ready.

I have included some pictures here that my friends Chris and Natalya took during the day.
