KELOWNA WINE TOUR | A Day in Canadian Wine Country | Vanlife Perks | Road Trip Across Canada

It's super trippy. We're Keith and Deb. This past year we started a YouTube channel to make the most of each day. Most recently we have converted a 2011 Dodge Caravan and have been travelling across Canada from Ontario all the way to BC. Subscribe to follow along. Good morning! So the last few days we haven't vlogged for personal reasons but we want to get you caught up on what happened yesterday. Yesterday I got a haircut. Look at this. Fresh. Ooh. Ooh. That's the States right there. We're driving right along the border. Then we got an oil change for Banny. We ate Chinese food in the Jiffy parking lot. Then we drove to Kelowna through lightning, thunder, pouring rain, puddles. And lots of wildfires too. Oh my god. There's stumps on fire. It was crazy changes in weather. And ended up at a winery. Quail's Gate. That's about all that happened yesterday. And now as you can see we are in the car rushing to go to another winery. Because we're in Kelowna and we might as well hit up some wineries. We're going to start our wine tasting here in the morning at 11.20 without breakfast and only coffee in our stomachs. Because we woke up late and didn't have time to eat. Holy Hannah. The wine tasting was amazing. I'm into whites now. It's special. It was such good wine. It was so fun. And it's like 11.30? And the story about this place is so cool. It's literally this couple that started the winery out of their literally parents garage. But it's so beautiful. The guy that made Saks underwear. It's his winery. He started this winery. Great wine. Great vibes. We're going to go back. Our camera was full. So that's why we're back here talking. But yeah. I'm just blown away. Have a little breakfast and move on to the next winery. This was really cool. Kitsch was awesome. Hi. Welcome to my vineyard. Is this your vineyard dad? No it's not. But it's pretty cool. He said that we could try one of the grapes. He said look for a ripe grape and you can try it. So we're going to try some grapes. Hey grapey grapey grapey. How do you know if they're ripe? Are these green or dark? No these are definitely light grapes. These are Chardonnay. We have the seeds. You're not supposed to eat the seeds. What happens if we eat the seeds? I'm like. The guy just told us to spit them out though. That's actually really good. I thought it was going to be really sour. But it's actually really good. Are they so cool? Very delicious. Very delicious. I could eat this all day. I guess we shouldn't though. Because then they won't be able to make wine anymore. And then they go out of business because we ate them all. I do want to eat more though. These vines are so beautiful. We made it to our next stop. It is the Vibrant Vine. And it turns out this is the only 3D winery in the whole world. So let's go check it out. But what does that mean? It's super trippy. We can't show you in the camera but it's very trippy. Very cool. What a creative idea. It looks really cool. So the son of the owner of this winery was creating this art and created the 3D aspect by accident. Turns out it's just the contrasting colors and the outlines. The way he was creating the art made it 3D. And they realized it was 3D. And unfortunately we can't capture it on camera. We tried with like one glass. We tried a lot of different ways. But it's really cool. So if you're in the area come to this winery. We wanted to tell you a story about the whoop spot of the wine. It's called the whoops wine because the person who was putting the labels on, she was doing them by hand and it was late at night and she didn't realize until she stepped in. She did all of them upside down. So all the labels on the bottle of the wine are upside down. The other thing that's really cool about that wine is it's a really cool label so they sent it into this label competition in Europe. In Geneva. They sent in the actual bottles but you just needed to send in the labels so they got disqualified. But the label company felt bad so they sent it next door where there was an actual wine tasting competition with over 10,000 bottles of wine. The competition didn't realize that these guys were just entered late or else they wouldn't have been able to get in. And they actually won the competition in 2013. Best white wine in 2013. Yeah. 10,000 bottles. So cool. So we're probably going to buy a bottle. Also, if you're wearing 3D glasses while you're watching this video, you'll be able to see the 3D aspect of this of this art. They have live music. To our next stop. So we just got to Frequency Winery and it's music themed so we're really excited to see what it's like inside. It's so cute. And really cool. Fascinating. So they play music to all the wines to help it age and to help the sediments go down. What a cool science. And what's really neat too, we realized it's like a sister or brother winery of the place we just were at and it's actually the middle child of that family started this winery because he's a musician. And he was playing music and learned that the wine was better the ones closer to where he was playing music so he started this winery. Playing the drums, right? Which I'm going to go do now. Let's go play the drums. We made it to our last winery of the day and we're going to have a picnic here after we get some wine for our tasting. This is so beautiful. So we made it here and there's a majestic vibe. It's beautiful. But there is a good vibe. We're trying the Pinot Grigio right now in 2019 and it's the last sort of batch because in 2020 they won't have one because the bears literally picked all the grapes. And according to the lady we just talked to who was doing the wine tour you can see the bears popping out between here and the tree over there. What the heck? We will keep our eyes peeled for the bears. This wine is really good because it's not using any wine terminology. It's got a bite but then it's really smooth and I love it. We're still at Ancient Hills. And we're having a little picnic here. We're starting with some appetizers of veggies and hummus. We're starving. What a magical day. These vineyards are so beautiful. It's been such a wonderful day. Thanks for taking along with us. Lots of really cool, unique wineries in this area. Kelowna is unreal. I'm really happy we stopped here. Yeah and it wasn't smoky and just so peaceful and just awesome. Yes, so thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow in Revelstoke. Yeah, see ya. Thanks for watching. You're blocking all my artwork I was looking at. Like sorry, we don't have wine this year because the bears ate them all. That's so classic Canadian. So this is the German one I can't pronounce. Medium bodied. Lightly oaked. This Pinot Noir has It's not Pinot Noir. No, I'm drinking the Pinot Noir. I know what I'm talking about. Sorry. It's got aromas of cherry and vanilla. And cut. You really know what you're talking about, eh? Reading off the script. It makes sense. Hints of caramel. You can find the caramel.
