Naramata wineries...by bike!!!

Relaxing by the beach.....what do you mean?
Of to Penticton to rent 2 bikes for our bike trip along the Naramata bench where there are many wineries, with bistros and ongoing wine tasting. By the time we kitted the oldies out with the bikes and reminded them how to use the gears and brakes and how to ride on the wrong side of the rode, we hadn't gone far when there were calls to stop for lunch. The weather was warm and the trail was dusty, requiring frequent stops for water.
Having a well earned picnic stop
Having another well earned water stop.
Eventually we arrived at the Hillside vineyard, winery and Bistro and we walked straight in to some wine tasting and that is when the real smiles appeared. Heather enjoyed their "wine for kids" as she aptly named it.

And it seemed that this pair were really enjoying the tasting too.
The smiles say it all!!!
After a few glasses of wine, the purchase of two bottles to sample over dinner we headed back to town, everybody had smiles on their faces and the down hill return trip was certainly enjoyed and appreciated by all.
