Sip and sweat: Wineries are kicking vineyard tours up a notch with races and fitness tgamtravel
A 6:30 a.m. wakeup call is not your typical start time for a day in wine country – especially when you’re close enough to see the vines from your hotel room. Then again, lacing up your running shoes to dash between more than a dozen wineries spread across 18 kilometres isn’t your typical way to do a wine crawl either. If we’re being totally honest, think “wine country getaway” and the only marathon you’re likely to picture is a long day of tastings, broken up by cheese and charcuterie.
The notion of hitting wine country to work out may seem counterintuitive; but if you take a closer look at lifestyle and travel trends, the combination is less strange than it might seem on first blush. It is actually the perfect intersection of a number of timely themes.
Getting active in the vineyards also presents visitors with an opportunity to better understand what’s in their glass. “It’s all about the terroir,” says Jennifer Busman, executive director of Oliver Osoyoos Wine Association, which organizes the Half Corked Marathon. “We love to offer the opportunity for guests to feel the dirt and [experience] the distinct differences prevalent between our two benches – Black Sage Road and Golden Mile Bench. Just visiting a tasting room is only half the story.
