Mission Hill Winery in Westbank

On 13th September 2006, we were on our way from Banff back to Vancouver in Canada. We took a detour to visit the Mission Hill Winery in Westbank in British Columbia. The winery completed a spectacular rebuild in 2002 spending about $40 million. The outcome from what we saw is amazing. The picture shows you the entrance of the winery. As you can see, it is elegant and at the same time welcoming. While we walked the arch, there was a gentleman greeting us and talking to us about the winery. All of a sudden, rain came in and it was pouring hard. We hid ourselves under the arch and kept talking to the nice man. This picture was taken right after the 5 minutes rain. In fact, we saw rainbow after the rain.

Even though we do not drink wine regularly, while we were in Mission Hill Winery, we felt that the winery was alive and well. We did not have time to tour the facility unfortunately. However, we were sure that we would go back there for a much more detailed visit in the future.
