One of the great things about travelling to wine country is the accommodations. Wine’s agricultural roots mean small cozy towns, wide open spaces, rolling hills and usually proximity to water.

As you can probably tell from our blog, we love to travel. But despite our desire to search out new hidden gems, we are fully aware of how lucky we are to live in a place as beautiful as British Columbia. As a result, we always make a point to explore our own backyard just as often as we do someone else’s. And while we don’t take our proximity to this beauty for granted, we are often happily reminded of it when we get a chance to visit places like Rockwater Secret Cove Resort.
