Day One: Vancouver - Salt Spring Island
Depart Vancouver in the morning and travel through the agricultural lands south of the city, arriving at the ferry terminal at Tsawwassen in time to catch the first morning cruise.

The small islands off the coast of British Columbia have become known for reclusive poets, privacy-seeking movie stars, artist's studios, 4th-generation fishing families and wine growing. The group that lies within the United States is called the San Juan Islands, and the Canadian group is known as the Gulf Islands. On board the ferry, you will find a gift shop, coffee shop, restaurant and plenty of comfortable seating for the 1.5-hour trip. The cruise through the islands is worth the trip all by itself. Although the ferry schedule is well kept, the rest of time seems to run at a different speed here in the islands. Relax and enjoy it.

Arrive on Salt Spring Island in time for lunch and wine tastings at two wineries.

At Salt Spring Vineyards Winery, enjoy a tasting of wine and "fruit wine" made from locally grown, sustainably produced grapes, blackberries and apples. No herbicides or pesticides are used in these hand-crafted wines.

At Garry Oaks Winery, your tour includes an hour with either Marcel (the viticulturist) or Elaine (the winemaker). If your group is knowledgeable about wine, you may hear from both if they are available. The tour includes about 20 minutes walking around the 10-acre ( 4.05-hectare) vineyard while you discuss the history of the winery and how the vineyard was created. You’ll hear about the character and challenges of the site, the varieties of grapes planted and the annual life cycle of the vines. Another 10  15 minutes are spent touring the winery and talking about the setup, crush process, philosophy of wine making and the life cycle of a vintage. You’ll then taste all the wines available at the time! Garry Oaks produces five wines, but some may be sold out depending on the time of year. If your group is large enough, a special private area for wine tasting will be set up.

Visit a local artist's studio and have time to visit with the artist and learn about their craft.

One such feature is the abandoned limestone quarry that was transformed into the dramatic Sunken Garden, a reflection of the early 20th-century beautification movement.
