Description
Join us at a moderate pace hike at Short Hills Provincial Park tracing the Rim of Africa Bruce Trail Friendship Trail. Along the way we'll see the beauty of Terrace Creek Falls and Swayze Falls and it's surrounding landscape. The trail is ideal for a moderate cardio exercise for the wellness of our mind, body and spirit. Day hike essentials to bring; snack/lunch, hydration fuel, sunscreen, full brim hat for sun protection and insect repellent in the event our friendly mosquitoes welcome us. Hiking shoe and poles are highly recommended. From the finish of our hike the bus will take us to Pillitteri Estate Winery (official wine supplier of Canada's Olympic Team). We'll experience and enjoy a private structured wine tasting (four wines selected by the host) and tour by one or more of their knowledgeable and friendly staff where we'll learn the art of winemaking from the vineyard to the wine lounge. The cost per person of tasting and tour experience is $20.00 (tax & tip included) and must be paid at time of registration via Interac E-Transfer to ross.estrella@rogers.com. You may purchase a bottle of your favorite bubbly and souvenirs. Registration starts June 19 and participants are advised to register early as sign up will be monitored to confirm that we meet the minimum the number of participants eight (8) days prior to the date of departure. If the registration is below the minimum required for the bus, the participants will be refunded for the bus and tour/tasting.
Please arrive at least fifteen minutes prior to the bus departure time. The bus will not wait for latecomers.
