After a pleasant browse of the outdoor market (and hat purchase) at Swartz Bay, and ferry crossing to Fulford Harbour, we arrived at Salt Spring Vineyards in time for a wander through the property and a tasting of four of their wines with accompanying snack items. The wines were good - overall a good wine tasting experience, and there was time for relaxing, making friends with the cat and taking some "art" photos. My lying down to take the daisy picture caused some concern - particularly after such a small amount of wine - but I maintain that the results more than justify the effort!!
Healthy looking vines in full production..
A beautiful setting for tasting wine...
The fountain blurry...
The fountain sharply defined...looks a lot more energetic
The friendly vineyard cat...
"Art" photos of the flowers...
After a very pleasant sojourn at the vineyard, it was off to Ganges for lunch - alfresco or in one of the many restaurants...
We had one and a half hours to have lunch and explore... we kept seeing soap bubbles floating around....strange...
Who got a new hat, then....
Wind driven public art...
Interestingly etched rock..
We finally located where the soap bubbles were coming from...a nice touch!
Time for an ice cream and then off to Vesuvius for the ferry back to Crofton
And then a pleasant drive back to the centre.We decided it was one of the bestest Let's Do It Day Trips ever!!
