En Santé
is Alberta’s first and only organic-fruit cottage winery where the Chrapko family have been producing organic fruits and wines for over a decade. You are joining a long, proud tradition of honest, hand-crafted, environmentally friendly food production. And since wine is one of the original, ancient food groups (along with bread), you can’t go wrong!
Weather has co-operated with a very successful tour to start the season, This included a special Raku Pottery demonstration, an orchard tour, and a demonstration of grafting techniques. Organic apple pie and whipped cream topped off the day . The group consisted of the grade seven class from the local high school, and a senior citizens group from the lodge, who thoroughly enjoyed their “Apple Blossom Tea” The interaction of senior and student was rewarding to see. Other tours are being arranged with school groups and seniors. Any group of minimum 20 participants is welcome
