Practical notes
Use a hired wine tour or a fully sober designated driver. Reserve no more than two tastings and one destination meal, and treat other estates as alternatives. Check DriveBC, wildfire, smoke, evacuation, and winery-opening notices before departure; never continue a tasting itinerary when conditions or sobriety are uncertain.
