| The grapes at the first vineyard were almost ready for the picking. Nets have been placed over the vines to protect the precious fruit from birds. |
 |
| The setting for the first tasting was beautiful. |
 |
| The owner of the winery was all about the science of the taste. You will note we were to create a graph regarding the characteristics of the selections. |
 |
| Our second stop was an orchard/vineyard. The tasting was all about ciders. |
 |
| The English-speaking guide help walk us through the creation of a cocktail with "fire cider" that would accompany the lunch. |
 |
| The third vineyard was a working farm in which various exotic animals were raised. |
 |
| The wine tasting at this farm included appetizers made of deer, yak, and boar. |
 |
| These guys were grazing in the field... they soon may become an appetizer for a group learning about wine. |
 |
| The appetizer of boar was not boring! |
 |
| I didn't realize when I was visiting this guy that I would be tasting yak sausage. |
 |
| This guy thought the grass was green (at least tastier) from the other side of the fence. |
 |
| The view of modern Montreal was a great sight as our tour group returned to the city. |
