Alberta Foothills and Wildflower Wines: A Day Out of Calgary

A small-group day out among Alberta's Foothills, starting with hotel pickup in downtown Calgary. The first stop is Saskatoon Farm, where prairie-style buildings sit alongside produce grown nearby. From there the route follows the Foothills corridor, broken up by short roadside pauses to take in the scenery. In Diamond Valley, a quiet town that has kept its character, there is time to work through the antique shops and local stores. A brief photo stop at the Okotoks Erratic, the enormous glacial boulder the area is known for, can be worked in depending on weather and how the day is running. Things wrap up at Spirit Hills Winery with a guided tasting of wines made from wildflowers, honey and botanicals gathered in the region.
