Welcome to the Canadian Rockies! We are so excited to be hosting our 11th retreat to the Bow Valley this fall. This trip is open to anyone - couples, singles, friends.
We will be leading this trip with our good friends, Nick & Bri - owners of a vineyard here in Northern MI who are so knowledgeable in the area of wine. We can’t wait to bring their expertise to the wine scene on the West Coast of Canada, and have you experience this region’s wine while we’re together!
If you love food, wine, spirits, farm-to-table meals, tea tastings, and some hiking and adventure, this trip is for you!
TENTATIVE ITINERARY:
September 23: Everyone arrives at the airport by 3pm, where we will provide your airport transfer to our cabin in Downtown Banff. We’ll have a welcome dinner together at 6pm!
September 24: This morning, we’ll have breakfast together at our cabin (made by your favorite innkeepers!) before giving you time to explore downtown Banff on your own, shop the shops, or walk along the Bow River. We’ll have a 4pm Banff Gondola ride and enjoy a farm to table dinner at Sky Bistro on the very top of Sulphur Mountain, sourced from some of the best farmers, growers and vineyards on Canada’s beautiful west coast.
September 25: We’ll start today with a sunrise adventure to Moraine Lake and time to hike around, and explore one of the bluest lakes in the world. We’ll come back for time to relax before heading on a Beer Cruise on Lake Minnewanka, learning about how the Rockies shape the craft beer scene in the Bow Valley, while sailing on the beautiful blue waters. We’ll enjoy dinner back at the cabin with a wine tasting.
September 26: This morning, we’ll embark on the Lake Agnes Hike to a tea house nestled in the mountains that has been serving tea since 1905, using all local ingredients, hiking them up daily to serve millions of guests each year. You’ll have time to take photos of the infamous Lake Louise as well, before heading back to Banff. Tonight, we’ll have a distillery tour at Park Distillery, and dinner with their full farm-to-table menu.
September 27: Today, we’ll have brunch in Canmore and give you time to explore the shops and trails around the area this afternoon. We’ll reconvene for an early dinner, and then head to Everwild Nordic Spa for a twilight hydrotherapy Nordic Spa session under the twinkling stars and illuminated mountains.
September 28: We’ll have breakfast in downtown Banff before heading to Johnston Canyon to hike to the lower and upper falls for incredible views. Goodbye dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in the Bow Valley, rated one of the top 100 restaurants in all of Canada.
September 29: Breakfast together, and then back to the airport for everyone to head home.
