The District Wine Village and fires getting close



Heading south from Penticton just before you get to Oliver you come across The District Wine Village.  This is new and what a great idea.  The village is made up of several small buildings where small wineries can promote their products.  You can shop and taste several wineries.  There is also food and music.  It’s very popular.



Lovely piece of art.





Enjoying ourselves once we found a seat.



On the Sunday just before we leave a fire breaks out up the hill behind our cabin.  A little too close!



We enjoyed watching the planes picking up water from the lake and dumping it on the fires.  They worked so fast that they had it under control very quickly.  We were lucky to have a smoke free week.  I don’t think they’ll be so lucky in the next while as more hot, dry weather is forecast.  We had a lovely time.
