Harvest Festival 2009: Sandbanks Winery
Last Wednesday was my birthday (Happy birthday, me!), but Capt Mike and I put off celebrating until the weekend. And how does one appropriately mark 31 years on the planet? Why, with manual labour, of course!
Capt Mike, Dave, Joyce, and I participated in the 2009 Harvest Festival at Sandbanks Winery. We picked their grapes, they plied us with food and drink. As big a proponent of healthy eating as I am, I cannot tell you the sheer pleasure experienced by indulging in a free glass of riesling at 10:30 in the morning.
Unfortunately, we have no pictures from the day to share. As ever, we charged the batteries, but forgot to bring the camera. But I can tell you that should you ever get the chance to visit Prince Edward County in the early fall, the grape harvest is an event not to be missed. Helping out your neighbours in return for free wine: the ultimate win-win scenario.
