Balls Falls Winery Tour

Saturday July 19

Hike Leader: Howard Gibson

We promised a hike for July. Here it is!

This is a shortened version of our earlier Jordan Wine Tour. We visit the Calamus Estate Winery, and the Featherstone Estate Winery, then head back to the cars.

Vineland Estates Winery can be reached by aggressive hikers, but we have promised to take it easy.

We will finish the day off with a pub dinner at the Jordan House.

On the way to Jordan, we can visit Stoney Ridge Estate Winery which has a cheese cellar in addition to the winery. In the past, they have had bottles of something they are not allowed to call Port. In Jordan, there are all sorts of boutiques, as well as the Cave Spring Cellars. You should end the day with a full wine cellar.

Check out Map 4 in your Bruce Trail. Guide. You have a Bruce Trail Guide, right?

Remarks

This hike will be level 2 with some serious hills and stairclimbs. We will keep this one short, and hike at a fairly slow pace. The Twenty River valley should be gorgeous.
