15 people enjoyed the Les Wineaux excursion to sample Comox Valley wines. We started the day with a hearty brunch at the Kingfisher resort before setting out for Beaufort Winery.
The sun made a welcome appearance for the afternoon as we walked through the vineyard, learning about the history of the winery and the varietals they grow. We followed with a tasting in their tasting room, where we observed the harvest processing in action.
Our second stop was 40 Knots Winery, where we toured both the vineyards and the winery itself. We were able to see the clay Amphoras that are used to ferment some of their wines—an ages-old technique that is coming back into practice. We followed with a tasting in their glass-enclosed event space, which was a beautiful setting for enjoying their wines.
