Description

Join us on a moderate (H4H-H4F) pace hike starting from Swayze Falls area passing thru Short Hills Provincial Park and the Rim of Africa Bruce Trail Friendship Trail. 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/boot 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) where we'll experience and enjoy a private structured wine tasting and tour by one or more of their knowledgeable and friendly staff. The cost of tasting and tour experience is $20.00 includes tax and gratuity per person with four wines selected by the host. Wine tasting and tour fee will be paid upon signing and payable via Interac e-Transfer to ross.estrella@rogers.com. There's no refund on wine tasting and tour fee as the amount will be paid days in advance to secure the function. You may purchase a bottle of your favorite bubbly and souvenirs. If interested in joining this hike please register early (by June 19th) so the number of people expected in our group can be provided to the winery a week in advance.

Please arrive at least fifteen minutes prior to the bus departure time. The bus will not wait for latecomers.
