One specialized in honey wines. The tastings are generous and we were very glad to have a driver. We were a bit tipsy by the time we returned to Vancouver and our driver double checked to make sure we didn't leave anything in the car specifically making us check that we had our passports, covid cards, phones, and wallets on us before he left.”
