Road Trip to Kelowna – Dirty Laundry Vineyard

by KimHo on August 8, 2008 · 1 comment under: British Columbia,Photo Essay,Travel



This entry is based on my trip to Kelowna on mid June 2008. My other entries on this trip includes:

Road Trip to Kelowna – Highway 3
Road Trip to Kelowna – Downton Kelowna
Road Trip to Kelowna – Quails Gate Winery and Mission Hill Winery

Welcome to my second to last entry of my Road Trip to Kelowna series. Yes, this means out of all wineries I visited, Dirty Laundry is the top 2nd winery I visited. Dirty Laundry?! Yup, funny name!

There was no tour per se; just wine tasting. However, here is a reason I liked it: mostly white wines, specially Riesling and Gewürztraminer! If you visit their site, you will notice something really funny: the name of their vines. “Thread Bare“? “Woo Woo“? “Madam’s“??? The name Dirty Laundry comes from a Chinese Laundry and it happens there was a brothel on the second floor. And, well, depending on what you want, you would order accordingly! (You can check the full story in there here). Just after the wine tasting, we had our lunch there. Just like several wineries in the area, they have a “patio” and, as you will see from the pictures below, the scenario is breathtaking. Yes, the combination of wine types (again, all of them which I liked), scenery and ambiance made it for me!

And, as usual, any comments are appreciated!
