The Annual Purple Foot Winery Tour is one of our most fun events of the off-season. Just like in recent years, the club will be chartering a bus, covered by the club. This year, Pete and Maria Meulepas' home will be our home base. From there we will go by bus to Schram, Parley Lake, and Chankaska wineries, before returning to Meulepas' home where the club event ends and the Meulepas will then be hosting a get together. Please feel free to bring a dish to share for that. The detailed itinerary is below. Be sure to also bring a non-glass wine glass for the bus ride and some snacks to share.
This year, we are collecting pre-payment for the Schram and Parley Lake tastings at registration. This will guarantee our spots, and make things much quicker and smoother at both. This totals $45 per person. Then at the last winery, Chankaska, it will be pay-your-own-way for each tour-goer on the day of the tour.
Each individual will have to be registered separately - a couple cannot register as one member plus guest.
