The wineries of the Westside Wine Trail throw open their doors on Sunday, December 6th for the third annual “Sip into the Season” event. The event is even larger than last year as three new wineries joined the Wine Trail. Now with eleven wineries to explore, it is suggested that visitors start enjoying the event right at the start time of noon, as there is so much to see and do!

 

Each winery will host local artisans and crafters in their tasting rooms and cellars for a wine & craft tour from noon to 5 pm. Visitors are invited to get to know the Westside Wine Trail see some crafts, enjoys some sips, taste some bites and cross some holiday shopping off their lists while enjoying an easy afternoon of touring the wineries.

 

This unique and one of a kind event will see visitors travel on a self-guided tour from winery to winery as they enjoy the works of the artisans and crafters at each location, along with award winning wines, gift packages and holiday cheer. Artisanal jams, abstract art, hand painted wine glasses, natural beauty products as well as culinary stocking stuffers, candles and handcrafted jewellery are some of the items visitors can expect to see from the different crafters and artisans.
