The Vine House - Arrow Lakes Vineyard is located on 32 acres of land situated above the Arrow Lakes near the town of Edgewood, BC. The terraced land overlooks the Sangrida and Mista Peaks of the Selkirk Mountain Range in southern British Columbia. The vineyard has sandy to silty sand soil, a 6a climate, and about 150-160 frost free days with 1000-1100 DDG celsius of heat. We grow cold hardy disease resistant hybrids and use no pesticides or fungicides on our grapes.

School Presentation and Project

So its hard not to talk about growing grapes when you are passionate about that kind of thing.  So when a teacher asked if I could provide a presentation to the class I was thrilled.

Was a bit of a history lesson (how they use to process grapes in ancient times),
bit of geography (where grapes are grown in Canada),

bit of business and agriculture and grape products.

Best part was showing the students how grape vines grow in a vineyard and how to propegate grape vines.  Each student got to help plant a grape vine cutting and now with any luck these cuttings will root and each student will take a vine home with them at the end of the school year. They are starting to bud out nicely!!
