Dirty Laundry Vineyard - Summerland, British Columbia
Above Okanagan Lake and the original Summerland town site, you will find one of the most interesting and beautiful wineries in all of British Columbia. With the historic Kettle Valley Steam Railroad chugging through the vineyard coupled with lake & mountain vistas, our visitor
experience is rivaled only by the quality of our award-winning wines.
Dirty Laundry Vineyard is situated on a sun-drenched plateau that enjoys an ideal micro-climate for growing exceptional grapes and has some of the oldest vinifera vines in the Okanagan Valley. From these grapes we’ve created wines that are being recognized throughout Canada and the world. We’ve earned medals and accolades in San Francisco, London & the Pacific Rim including “Best of Varietal” awards for both our whites and reds.
Our location’s unique history as a turn of the century Chinese laundry and brothel is key to our cheeky adult theme and the locals rate us as the #1 wine tasting destination in the South Okanagan two years running. Dirty Laundry is definitely a “must see” winery destination in the Okanagan Valley.

Went for lunch at the Dirty Laundry Vineyard, it's right next to lower section of track for the KVR train. Just after we finished our lunch, we watched her come off the Trout Creek bridge then start her climb up the 2% grade back up to Prairie Valley station.

BC Winegrowers Upper Bench Estate Winery and Creamery (Naramata)
You could say winemaker Gavin Miller and cheese maker Shana Miller are an excellent pairing, just like the products they create. They both share the desire to make the best wine and cheese they can while employing sustainable methods and being organic. Their products can be sampled side by side in their unique combined winery and creamery, the only one in B.C. and possibly Canada.

An AirBnB Tour of the Singing Marmot Guest Suites, Naramata, BC, Canada - Okanagan Wine Region
We discovered the most epic AirBnB in Naramata this year!
The Singing Marmot Guest Suites is perched above Naramata, BC, Canada - one of the best little towns to go wine touring in the Okanagan wine valley of British Columbia.
Why is it one of the best towns?
Simply because it is away from it all yet in the heart of wine country. This small historic town, also a sub-appellation within the Okanagan Wine Region known as Naramata Wine Bench, is surrounded by wineries and vineyards cascading down towards the Okanagan Lake.
The Singing Marmot Guest Suites is a rare treat with one of the best views of the Okanagan Lake and vineyards stretching from Penticton down to Peachland.
The nearest winery is a 5 minute walk and the Naramata Wine Bench is at your finger tips, as is the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) which is literally in their backyard. But the views and the hot tub are where it is at, I doubt you'll leave the property!
Check it out and don't forget to give this video a like.

Kelowna | Myra Canyon Bike Ride | Best Wine Tasting | GoPro Hero6
We flew to Kelowna, BC, rented a car, and drove straight to Myra Canyon. We rented bikes from Myra Canyon Bike Rentals, they have a convenient mobile shop right in the parking lot. Biking 24km's on a vacation might not be for everyone but we would highly recommend going to Myra Canyon and just walk or bike a short distance on the trail to experience the trestle bridges and the unreal views.
On our second day we started off our morning with a private 10am wine tour provided by Club Wine Tours. We went to four wineries which provided a sample of 4-5 wines at each location. Needless to say we checked into the beautiful Sparkling Hill Resort and Spa at the end of our tour a tad tipsy :) . This video was filmed entirely on the GoPro Hero 6.

Kettle Valley RR CP Rail Caboose move
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (
All video and photos were taken from my iPhone 5
Unfortunately, the video quality drops tremendously when uploaded and also then again when run through Video Editor.
Please enjoy what was a fun and Long day.

My close friend and who I call my younger brother Matthew, obtained an old CP rail caboose #434683 (cab to Western Canadians) from the Kettle Valley Railway. He spent months making dozens of phone calls to moving companies as well as BC Ferries as he plans to move it to the Galiano Island to become his personal studio and a special get away.
The day started early with the crane and trucks showing up, then the long and slow but careful process of lifting and positioning the cab just right on the trailer.
Opening shot is the Westward climb out of the Kelowna on the 5A Coq connector.
Other pace shots are just along the Coquihalla Hwy and then the last shot was a special one for me....The last Caboose over Ladner Creek. To bad it was raining so much as I planned to get a shot with the old Ladner Creek bridge in the back ground as the cab crossed the new bridge.
Last photo shows a group shot of all who helped out, the paid crane crew and the truck drivers hired. A big shout out to the folks at the KVR who came out on there day off to watch and even pitch in a hand. No wonder I call them my Summerland friends!! Good folks up there.
Go there and see for yourself ..
Part Two will come later when the Cab is moved by BC Ferry to the Gulf Islands.
Location will be kept a secret for now.
thanks for watching
